Be a Tour Guide

VIAmigo.com is the global-adventure directory brainchild of Jeffrey Goldsmith, formerly of Café Haiku fame.
Simply put, VIAmigo.com is a place where you can find off-the-beaten-path tour guides or even list yourself as a local expert to travelers. If you know the cafés of Brussels, the beers of Belgium or the bike trails of Wallonia, you can create your own tours and take travelers on your developed area of expertise. Some charge for this service, some do not.
Currently free, the site will include added value services in the near future. Check it out, tell your friends and help make the world a smaller, nicer place—because somos todos amigos.

Antwerp launches a brothel guide


Tourist officials in Belgium are supporting a visitor map that encourages trips to brothels in Antwerp.
The map, which is backed by the Flemish Government, the city of Antwerp and Tourism Flanders, recommends visits to a “mega-brothel with 51 sex suites where 102 prostitutes alternately work around the clock” in the red light district.
On the “by night” section of the map, which is entitled “Antwerp for young people”, there are directions to the brothel under the heading: “The oldest trade in the world.”
