What If You Had A Dear (& Cool) Cousin In Any Place Of The World You Wanted To Visit?

Travel Industry is Global!
The Travel Industry is considered to be one of the largest in the world, and as per recent statistics, tourism contributed over 7.6 trillion US dollars globally (2016)
To Travel is to Live!
People love to travel, love to discover, love to explore and learn new things. Having worked and lived in the travel sector for more than 18 years, I always loved to see the excitement of travelers in their faces, the happiness in the kids smiles.
How amazing is the gratitude that the tourists (or guests as we call them in Crete, Greece) would express every time when we, the locals; I, their friend, would make a suggestion for a restaurant, for a monument, for a cultural or beach trip!
Common Issues When Traveling

The only problem was/is that people need to arrive to a country to be able to meet locals and ask for their guidance.
Or they can go online and search for reviews. But reviews, even if they are thousands of them, are not trustworthy. There is a full industry of buying reviews and posting them in all kind of review sites and social media. So trust is difficult to gain...
But apparently, decentralization and blockchain has come to give a hand in the travel industry too!

Very interesting project, thank you for sharing, I hadn't heard of this before.
Sometimes I find that the people I meet make a trip more memorable than the places I go to...
In the past I made friends where we would help each other practice the other native language; then we establish trust and can show each other around when we visit!
But we can't always just learn a new language all the time; something like Cool Cousins is more practical. I hope to use it soon! Just need more vacation time....
Thanks, it was also exciting for me as I have been trying to promote my city :)
Having an audience looking to visit, is a great start and their feedback also makes you more thoughtful
Thank you for visiting, I hope you get more vacation time!
Which city are you in if I may ask? Haha and what do you especially love about it? :D
I live in Crete, Greece and I have been trying in different ways (also in the past through steemit) to promote culture, history etc..
Thank you for asking!
Do you want to be my cool cuzin?
loool
I am cool, so why the heck no!?
Are you visiting my city?
Pali ta idia. Afou sas to lew k duo bdomades twra oti tha eimai ellada to kalokairi. K sigoura tha eimai kriti ton ioulio. :)
H Kriti einai megaaalo nisi
Very good idea!!!Im thinkig about it..
Really interesting ICO @katerinaramm! You approach it in a very cool style!I also post about ICOs, you might find them interesting:) I am following you now, looking forward to your next updates!!
What an amazing concept this is! I would like to be part of such an activity soon.
Travelling is something I really love because I am a language lover. Going to the source where languages are spoken is a great experience that does not only allow you learn more about the language as such but about the people.
It's people what makes me love languages and with iniciatives such as Cool Cousin, it is possible to get to the core of a country's mindset.
So count me in as to being part of it!
I've read about the writing contest for this. Looks like a cool website too.
Thanks! I got very excited and I really hope I had the time to write a better post (in the deadline of the contest)
I will use it for sure, so either way it is a good thing!
Thanks for dropping by :)
first time i hear about this ICO. will look into it. thanks
Submitted.
