Hi All! I received a request from a California student tour operator looking for a student leader with the below qualifications. If you are qualified or know someone that is qualified, please send resumes to Chuck. Good morning Cherie- I am looking for local southern California guides already trained to give historical tours of San Diego and Santa Barbara for our 2023 spring student tour season. We prefer them to be from Los Angeles or Orange County with a background in education and are trained to give early California history tours. If you have anyone in mind please have them send me their resume. Thank you, Chuck Lippincott Director [email protected] Travel Teens Educational Tours 1580 W Cerritos Ave Anaheim CA

The future is here!!! Welcome to AI,
artificial intelligence. This really is a 'game changer' for narration, legal documents, information, research, letters and ??? I've tried to give you examples on how you can use it. The legal documents can be updated by giving the specific information to AI, or changing it yourself. I even had it
write a love letter. :-) There's discussion that AI may replace Google but I find it more creative. I love the funny description of a tour director. I used the website: https://chat.openai.com/chat There’s no charge. I’ll let AI describe itself. Describe AI AI, or Artificial Intelligence, refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are
designed to think and act like humans. AI systems use algorithms, statistical models, and computer programs to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. The goal of AI research is to create machines that can perform tasks that are normally done by humans, and to do so in a more efficient, reliable, and scalable manner. There are various subfields within AI, including machine learning, deep
learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics, each of which focuses on different aspects of AI development and application.
Describe the job of a tour director: A tour director is responsible for overseeing and coordinating all aspects of a tour or group excursion. This can include everything from leading the group and managing day-to-day operations. The
tour director serves as the face of the tour, providing guidance, support, and information to travelers while ensuring the smooth and safe operation of the trip. The job of a tour director requires a unique combination of organizational skills,
leadership abilities, and people skills. Tour directors must be able to manage complex logistics, resolve conflicts, and handle unexpected situations with grace and professionalism. They must also be able to communicate effectively with travelers, tour operators, and local guides, and to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their group. Tour directors often work long and irregular hours, including evenings and weekends, and may be required to travel for extended periods of time. The job can be physically demanding, requiring a great deal of walking, standing, and dealing with unexpected weather conditions. However, for those who love travel and working with people, being a tour director can be a rewarding and
fulfilling career. Whether leading a group on a scenic bus tour, a cultural excursion, or a wildlife adventure, the tour director plays a critical role in ensuring that travelers have an enjoyable and memorable experience. Through their
hard work and dedication, tour directors bring the world to life for those they lead, making their jobs both challenging and immensely rewarding. Do a funny description of a tour director: A tour director is the ringleader of a traveling circus, except instead of elephants and acrobats, they herd tourists. With a microphone in hand, they magically turn a bus into a stage and make even the most mundane sights sound exciting. They can turn a traffic jam into a cultural experience, and make a long line at a restroom a bonding moment for the
group. Their energy is contagious, their jokes are corny, and their dance moves are questionable, but they always make sure the audience (i.e. tourists) leave with memories to last a lifetime. Describe a tour director in the voice of Robert Dinero. A tour director in the style of Robert De Niro is a no-nonsense, charismatic leader. They bring an air of gravitas to their job, making even the most mundane stops on the itinerary feel like they hold great importance. With a deadpan delivery, they quip witty one-liners that are equal parts humorous and insightful. They've got a rough
exterior but they've got a heart of gold, and they'll do whatever it takes to make sure their group has the trip of a lifetime. Whether they're navigating the busy streets of a foreign city or settling disputes among travelers, they do so with the confidence and authority of a seasoned veteran. They may not have De Niro's acting range, but they definitely have his street smarts and quick wit.
Do narration for Orange County, California tour: Orange County, California is a place where sun-kissed beaches meet bustling cities and where history intertwines with modernity. Known for its scenic coastal towns, luxury shopping destinations and theme parks, it's a place that has something for everyone. From the iconic Newport Beach, with its pristine beaches and fancy yachts, to the trendsetting city of Costa Mesa, home to the renowned South Coast Plaza shopping center, Orange County is a hub of
activity. And for those who crave a taste of history, the county is dotted with landmarks that evoke its rich heritage. The historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, for instance, is a testament to the region's Spanish colonial past, while the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum honors one of the county's most famous residents.
