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.
