As Doctor of Philosophy in Tourism Sciences and Philosophy occasionally I give public speeches and lectures teaching on history, geography, guiding, and values that we meet and experience within. I have guided and met many VIPs, politicians, diplomats, professors, Hollywood stars, CEOs of global companies, artists . . and I will be happy to meet you as well - because all of us, without exception - are VIPs, worth getting to know each other and the world, and introduce dialogue, through travel and tourism, into it.
