This morning, I visited the world from my sofa, with geobeats, a very 2.0 video guide to the world. Video tours produced by ordinary folks in-country give comforting help that goes way beyond text-based guides. The visual cues, subtitled authentic language and the quality of the videos I saw made me smile. I started with places I know- Provence, Santiago, Siena and in all cases the videos reminded me of some experience I had there. If I were planning a holiday, I’d definitely consult geobeats. Not bad for language classes, non plus.

Hey, Laura! I loved geobeats. Thanks for letting me know about it. I had a great time visiting my favorite places in Buenos Aires and Rio this afternoon. I have created a link to it on my website, and I will definitely use it in my classes. Thanks enormously for this idea as well as for the many others you have shared with me since I met you. You rock!
