Mongolian throat singing is a traditional form of music where the singer is able to sing multiple octaves at once using only his throat to make the sound. It is an amazing feat, something that is hard to believe.

Like A Local
Like A Local reflects the desire for a new group of upwardly mobile, young, hip travelers to get a different experience when visiting new cities. Rather than offer the typical cheesy, tour bus experience, Like A Local (started by three young Dutch girls two years ago) hooks clients up with cool, young knowledgeable locals in any of the cities they service (there are about 20 now, NYC, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam,etc). Basically, you can log on to the site and within minutes you can literally line up and RENT a local to hang out with in a given city.

Like A Local reflects the desire for a new group of upwardly mobile, young, hip travelers to get a different experience when visiting ... more
