Member Spotlight: TravelDrivers

TravelDrivers is excited to announce not only their new website and concept, but also to tell you that it is now possible to choose from 16 exceptional TravelDrivers  comprising their team in Bali, and have vetted driver-guides in over 20 additional countries throughout the world!

Greetings and a Happy 2019 to you from TravelDrivers, the first global private-driver resource that allows you to know who your driver is (and even choose him or her in Bali) before your arrival at any destination outside the US!*

In case you haven’t heard, TravelDrivers is a concierge service that makes it easy to find exceptional, vetted private driver-guides for personalized touring while traveling outside the US. Our “TravelDrivers” serve as chauffeurs, tour guides, companions, security guards, interpreters, teachers and coaches, so that you can have a carefree authentic vacation experience with the freedom to go anywhere and do anything safely… *in your own time* *in your own way*.

I am the Founder and owner and this is my passion project. I created this business because using private drivers allowed me to travel solo throughout the world, even in places considered dangerous for women, fearlessly! Nevertheless, it was challenging to find exceptional drivers, especially in certain countries. I noticed that the quality and qualities, or characteristics of each driver could make or even break my travel experience. I knew it needed to be easier for travelers to find quality driver-guides and decided to create a website through which they could find them – easily – drivers that they could truly trust to act in their best interests, so that they could book them with confidence and experience truly blissful vacations, free from the typical problems and worries that can take away from the total relaxation that one so needs and desires when traveling.

Travel abroad involves so many variables and, to be honest, so many risks! There are a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong, which can be costly and even dangerous. I believe that the best and smoothest travel experience is one where you are driven and guided by an experienced local – one who is kind and honest and knowledgeable and who really cares about your experience – one who helps you to handle any difficulties that might arise – one who is, as I define them, a true “TravelDriver”. I am on a mission to teach travelers about this wonderful way to see the world.

Please do us the kind favor of keeping TravelDrivers in mind for your next vacation adventure, for yourself and others. Friends and family will appreciate being among the first to know of this fun new concept. It’s been a secret but now it’s time to let that secret out!

Feedback Needed: Possible LA Metro BikeShare Locations
A Metro Bike Share station may be coming near you! Soon, you’ll be able to check out a bike from a station, use it to get around, and return it to any other location. This map has potential station sites based on community input and a preliminary technical review. Potential locations for this phase 3 expansion have been posted in an online crowdsourcing map that is now available for public input. The map, which is readable in English, Spanish, and Korean, will be open through early December to allow participants to indicate whether they like or dislike a potential location and provide comments. What do you think? Click on any location on the map and share your thoughts!

The Metro Bike Share Program, created through a partnership between the City of Los Angeles and LA Metro, offers a first/last mile solution and short trip option for Angelenos and visitors. In May 2018, the Los Angeles Transportation Committee and the Metro Board of Directors authorized expansion of the Metro Bike Share program into neighborhoods inside Council District 4.
