We are different, you are unique
Bunch of friends and yes, you can join us!
None of us here is employed by the other, and we do not even consider ourselves colleagues; we are friends whose ties have formed through guiding as we traveled various destinations all over Europe.
You are unique and precious to us because it is YOU who we share our knowledge with, and we don't want that knowledge to be wasted. YOU are unique because once you're back home, YOU will be sharing that knowledge as its ambassador and YOU will fulfill the mission we strongly believe in: mutual understanding through which the world can be a better place. Inspire us and let us inspire YOU.
