| another word for tour guide: The Tourguide Michael A. Laker, 2011-03 What an amazing story. But more than a story, it is the real life experience of a young man who faced the monster of mental disturbance with little means to combat it. The anguish he suffered took him on a roller coaster journey of depression, anxiety, and delusion. Thanks to the grace of God, he survived to tell of his journey. After his recovery, I had the privilege of being his pastor for fifteen years. He was a vital part of church life, serving his Lord, and making each day productive. Pastor Gene Mumau, Free Methodist Church, Oregon Conference Michael's battle with delusional thinking is brought alive for the reader as he guides us into the inner workings of his mind. Hope emerges as his mental anguish finds eventual relief and healing due to the power of his strong Christian faith. William Vaughters, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Psalm 25:5 NIV |

| another word for tour guide: Murals and Tourism Jonathan Skinner, Lee Jolliffe, 2017-06-26 Around the world, tourists are drawn to visit murals painted on walls. Whether heritage asset, legacy leftover, or contested art space, the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. They express something about the politics, heritage and identity of the locations being visited, whether a medieval fresco in an Italian church, or modern political art found in Belfast or Tehran. This interdisciplinary and highly international book explores tourism around murals that are either evolving or have transitioned as instruments of politics, heritage and identity. It explores the diverse messaging of these murals: their production, interpretation, marketing and – in some cases – destruction. It argues that the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. Murals and Tourism will be valuable reading for those interested in cultural geography, tourism, heritage studies and the visual arts. |

| another word for tour guide: Low Mountains or High Tea Steve Sieberson, 2019-09-01 When Steve Sieberson and his wife unexpectedly found themselves in Britain with an entire summer on their hands, they readily agreed to avoid the usual tourist attractions, opting instead for a road trip to the UK’s far-flung national parks. As they set out, however, he envisioned bracing days of energetic hillwalking, while she assumed they would relax in tearooms and cozy pubs. Seldom planning more than a few days in advance, the two traversed the country in a rented Vauxhall, subjecting themselves to single-track lanes, diabolical signage, and whimsical advice from locals. They discovered a town called Mirthless, a place where cats’ eyes are removed, and a vibrating cottage, while at mealtimes they dove fearlessly into black pudding, Eton mess, and barely recognizable enchiladas. Meanwhile, after their initial attempts at hiking together nearly ended in disaster, Sieberson received dispensation to scramble alone to the highest point in each national park—as long as he was quick about it and left plenty of time for more sedentary pursuits. Low Mountains or High Tea dishes up the charms and eccentricities of rural Great Britain as seen through the eyes of two Americans who never really knew what was coming next. |

| another word for tour guide: So, How Long Have You Been Native? Alexis C. Bunten, 2015-03 So, How Long Have You Been Native? is Alexis C. Bunten's firsthand account of what it is like to work in the Alaska cultural tourism industry. An Alaska Native and anthropologist, she spent two seasons working for a tribally owned tourism business that markets the Tlingit culture in Sitka. Bunten's narrative takes readers through the summer tour season as she is hired and trained and eventually becomes a guide. A multibillion-dollar worldwide industry, cultural tourism provides one of the most ubiquitous face-to-face interactions between peoples of different cultures and is arguably one of the primary means by which knowledge about other cultures is disseminated. Bunten goes beyond debates about who owns Native culture and has the right to sell it to tourists. Through a series of anecdotes, she examines issues such as how and why Natives choose to sell their culture, the cutthroat politics of business in a small town, how the cruise industry maintains its bottom line, the impact of colonization on contemporary Native peoples, the ways that traditional cultural values play a role in everyday life for contemporary Alaska Natives, and how Indigenous peoples are engaging in global enterprises on their own terms. Bunten's bottom-up approach provides a fascinating and informative look at the cultural tourism industry in Alaska. |
| another word for tour guide: Travels With Suzy, Doc and Ella Malcolm Evans, 2016-01-29 Have New Zealanders found paradise? Few would deny the magnificence of New Zealand's landscape; from its secluded bays, and numerous tranquil lakes to its glaciers and the soaring majesty of the Southern Alps, it is always surprising. As the Maori have always attested their country is more than simply what can be seen. It is also its ancestral history, legends, fauna and even its sea life. Travels with Suzy, Doc and Ella is ostensibly the account of two journeys around New Zealand. Though full of its people, their stories and vivid descriptions of its scenery, it is blended with observations that lead towards an understanding of that history and its development into a peaceable cosmopolitan nation. In parallel with these journeys are the Maori and their struggle for recognition and the route of New Zealand's constitution from initial chaos to the fifth most democratic country in the world. Out of this has also blossomed one of the most ecologically aware countries. These paths have not always been easy but this book does not shy from the truth or voiced criticism. Perhaps Kiwis have found paradise. That is for you to discover. The book is illustrated with over 90 colour photographs. All royalties from the sale of this book will go directly to support the lifesaving research of Cancer Research UK. |
| another word for tour guide: Her Unexpected Match Lacey Baker, 2023-02-21 Travel writer Allie Sparks has one goal: to find the story that will save her career. So here she is, visiting her bestie on picturesque Crescent Island—with sun-warmed beaches, the briny smell of the ocean, and rumors of a secret astrologer-matchmaker who guarantees love. Of course, Allie doesn't believe in any of that stuff. If anything, she'll prove it's a total scam. Ryan Parker believes in love—just not right now. He's focused on expanding his family's barbeque business, finding investors, and keeping his too-big Great Dane puppy from jumping on everyone, including his sister's pretty, whiskey-eyed best friend. Besides, falling for a tourist is definitely not in his astrological forecast. Allie is doing everything she can to resist the charm of the town and its beauty, not to mention her attraction to Ryan. But there's a lot more happening on Crescent Island than anyone knows...and when her story goes to print, this tiny, close-knit town might never be the same. |

| another word for tour guide: Innovation in Methodology and Practice in Language Learning Christopher Williams, 2015-09-04 This volume is composed of 24 papers originally presented as talks at the VIII National Conference of the Italian Association of University Language Centres (Associazione Italiana dei Centri Linguistici Universitari: AICLU), held at the University of Foggia, Italy, between 30 May and 1st June 2013. The contributions fall into five sections: 1) keynote addresses from plenary speakers; 2) innovative challenges for language centres; 3) new developments in teaching language for specific purposes; 4) proposals and case studies in Content and Language Integrated Learning; and 5) the use of new technologies in language learning. 18 papers are in English, four in Italian, one in French and one in German. The fact that three-quarters of the papers are in English reflects the way English has become the lingua franca of academic conferences today. However, in keeping with the ethos of CercleS (Confédération Européenne des Centres de Langues de l’Enseignement Supérieur, the pan-European organisation to which AICLU belongs), which is strongly committed to promoting plurilingualism, it was crucial that contributions would also be accepted in other languages. The volume represents the ‘state of the art’ in the field of language teaching and theory in university language centres not only in Italy, but also in other parts of Europe and the Mediterranean, and testifies to the rich variety of ways in which these centres are adapting and thriving in rapidly changing times. |

| another word for tour guide: A Mer-Curious Kidnapping Corey Blanchet, 2023-08-04 Life under the sea is both beautiful and deadly. But nothing and no one will drive me out. Weak. Inferior. Parasite. Don't belong. I've heard all sorts of insults during my last 4 years here at Arctic Academy. As the only human mage, I'm always fighting to prove my worth, but hey, I'm top of my class for a reason. I don't care what anyone says. Not the teachers, students, or attending mer prince and his stupidly hot and cruel entourage. I can take anything they can dish out and keep getting up. Pranks, I can handle. Polar bears, no problem. Roommates, Royal audiences? Sure. Kidnappings… Wait. Kidnappings? All I want is to finish my degree, fill my polar bear soul vial, and save the ocean. It shouldn’t be this difficult. I’m Nora Donovan, and nothing—not even the empress herself—is going to drive me out of the oceans I love. This is the first of five books in a slow burn reverse harem bully romance featuring broody jerks, sassy Nora, and a true demonstration of human resilience. Violence is a guarantee, but so is an unyieldingly awesome woman. |

| another word for tour guide: Dog Dad Topher Brophy, 2022-10-18 Topher Brophy will be donating all of his proceeds from the sale of Dog Dad to American Humane. Can dogs make us better humans? Can animal companionship really heal the world? In telling Topher Brophy's story, Dog Dad shows us emphatically that the answer to both questions is yes. Is there a cure for the sad sickness? That's what Topher Brophy calls the feeling he has lived with as long as he can remember. As a lonely only child on the spectrum, a shy high schooler cursed by acne, a college student working hard to be accepted as a frat boy, and a young man traveling to exotic destinations in search of wisdom and inner peace, Topher never feels he belongs anywhere or to anything. Too shy to keep a friendship, he battles feelings of rejection and loneliness, always wondering why just living in the world, which seems easy for others, is so difficult for him. He tries various remedies, even becomes a sports freak in the hope that being strong will make him happy and get him accepted. With barbells, ropes, bands, he works out morning till night to keep the sad sickness at bay—till an injury makes even that impossible. Nothing changes anything. The sad sickness is always there. Then Rosenberg comes into his life. Dog Dad tells how becoming a dog dad changes everything for Topher Brophy. How the companionship and love he receives from his shaggy puppy beget the companionship and love he can now give... and how that makes him feel, for the first time in his life, like he belongs in the world as it is. How Rosenberg connects him to a community of dog people and introduces him to a special person, the Dog Styler. How together, they create an Instagram sensation and a family—and dedicate both to the higher purpose of healing the world. This is no shaggy dog story. It really happened to Topher Brophy, and it can really happen to anyone. |
| another word for tour guide: Boots to Stilettos CY Collinsmiller, 2019-01-18 Boots to Stilettos continues the story of Karah Woodard. Karah is determined to overcome all obstacles and live a productive, fulfilling life despite the odds. Her first book, Vengeance is Mine, details her struggle to overcome injustices and betrayal. Her childhood, love affairs, and an assault at the drill sergeant’s academy consumed her thoughts. She realizes that this could become what she identifies as a web of destruction. This place limits your ability to move forward, thereby preventing you from maximizing your potential. She finds her peace through her unwavering relationship with her heavenly Father. However, in book two, kids will be kids, but oh my god, her children, now young adults, became a major challenge. She struggled to understand their behavior and figure out the limits of her role in their lives. Again she finds peace and avoids the web. After a trip to New York City, her childhood dreams are ignited. She always wanted to become a well-respected author. She wanted a glamorous social life and to meet the man of her dreams. Unfortunately, years of struggle had left her exhausted, and making her dreams a reality seemed unachievable. This, too, could become that web that prevents her from reaching her greatest potential. She also knew that with God, all things were possible. And essentially, the question becomes, did she have the intestinal fortitude? |
