Do you wish that every time you went on vacation you were guaranteed to find the perfect guide or instructor for you? Now you can.
Guides and instructors have a major impact on the entire adventure sports experience. A good guide or instructor is worth their weight in gold, but there are plenty of guides and instructors that it’s best to avoid. Going into a holiday and booking one blind is always a risky endeavor, but now you don’t have to that.
Everyone will benefit from a new site that is launching this fall – just in time for the 2015/2016 winter season. The site is called Ongosa.com. Ongosa is a Swahili word that means to guide or to lead. Based in the UK, this brand new digital marketplace will be the absolute best way for adventure sports enthusiasts and guides/instructors to link up.
Ongosa is described as “An independent online marketplace connecting snowsports enthusiasts with qualified and vetted instructors and guides.” It will be the perfect online location for guides and instructors to profile their niches, certifications, languages, and other important information. All guides featured on Ongosa will be vetted by the Ongosa staff, so you know they are the real deal. There will also be honest reviews from real guests who have worked with the guides in real life. It’s basically word of mouth reviews in an online format. You can search, read reviews, and book guides on one simple to use site.
These adventure sports guides and instructors will be located all over Europe and the world. Wherever you want to go – France, Switzerland, Italy, India, Chile – you’ll be able to find a world class professional to help you have the best trip possible. These guys and gals know the best climbing routes, the coolest tree skiing, the secret powder stashes, the best teaching techniques, and everything else you want.
