00:00 What happens when your plans,
00:01 maybe like this weekend, get rained out?
00:03 Well, joining us live is travel
00:06 influencer Michael Modimetti to
00:07 talk about getting instant help when
00:09 the weather forces a change of plans.
00:12 And Michael,
00:12 thank you so much for joining us.
00:15 Not only right now,
00:16 but from Montenegro.
00:17 What a cool spot to be joining us from.
00:21 Thank you so much, Christina,
00:22 for having me.
00:23 This is a pleasure to be here and
00:25 I can't wait to speak to you on that.
00:27 No, let's just jump into it, shall we?
00:29 Can you explain about guide geek?
00:31 What it is, how it works,
00:32 and how it can help people
00:33 out when they're traveling?
00:34 Absolutely guide geek to me is like
00:38 a best friend sitting in my pockets.
00:41 The only difference is that I don't
00:43 have to buy dinner for this best
00:45 friend when he gives me advice.
00:47 Nova jokes aside,
00:49 guide geek is literally a state of the
00:51 art travel guide artificial intelligence
00:54 in your pocket at all times 24/7,
00:57 ready to give you advice on
00:59 where to go or what to do.
01:00 OK, I have to ask you, is it free?
01:03 Do you have to register?
01:04 Do you download anything?
01:06 Look, you're talking to
01:07 someone who travels a lot.
01:08 Our coworkers joke that I'm
01:09 never here on the weekend,
01:10 so I am very invested in this now,
01:13 Michael.
01:13 Yeah, no, it is absolutely free,
01:16 which I think is the best part.
01:18 I tend to agree with you and
01:20 what's really awesome.
01:21 There's no app.
01:22 There is no website.
01:23 You literally utilize it through a WhatsApp,
01:26 which is, you know, a texting platform.
01:28 And now most recently,
01:29 even through Instagram DM.
01:31 This is literally the only friend
01:33 that you don't mind sliding
01:34 into your DM's Christina.
01:36 OK, yeah, you're not kidding.
01:38 Oh, that is too funny.
01:39 OK, on that note we saw on your Instagram.
01:41 You found some tasty ice cream,
01:43 some treats among, let's say,
01:45 the Paris heat, for example,
01:46 was guide geek.
01:47 What led you to that?
01:48 Yeah, guide geek is honestly
01:52 revolutionary and what me and
01:53 my family are doing are utilizing
01:55 it on a 12 month trip around the world.
01:57 So we're really interacting with it on
01:59 a daily if not hourly basis.
02:01 And what's amazing about it is that
02:03 it can help trench.
02:06 Plan a trip for you specifically,
02:08 or actually real time.
02:09 Give you advice when you're located
02:11 somewhere and even in our case we go
02:13 above and beyond and we ask for example,
02:15 what is Anthony Bourdain do in Paris?
02:17 Or what is Pablo Picasso do in Paris?
02:20 And it gives us that advice.
02:21 It's absolutely amazing.
02:24 So cool Michael, thank you so much for
02:26 all of this incredible information.
02:27 I know folks are going to be utilizing this,
02:30 and I mean yours.
02:31 Truly I will be myself,
02:32 but one last reminder for our viewers
02:34 listening and as to how to get guide geek
02:37 and how to take advantage of it.
02:38 Yeah, so you just go to guidegeek.com
02:41 and it'll literally give you a link and
02:43 you can start messaging it through WhatsApp.
02:45 Or obviously again,
02:45 like I said through Instagram DM and you
02:47 know I don't know if you guys plan this,
02:50 but this is the first rainy day we've
02:52 had in Montenegro since I've been here.
02:54 And let me tell you,
02:56 I immediately went on to guide geek
02:58 and I asked it what do you do when you
03:00 when it's raining in Montenegro and
03:02 it gave me a plethora of answers
03:04 right on the spot like going to the
03:06 spa or hitting up a specific museum.
03:09 Honestly, it's a real gem.
