Why us?

Both mental health and well-being are deeply intertwined with social interactions, and according to psychologists, weak ties affect us strongly, and interaction with strangers improves our sense of well-being. We are silently facing a loneliness and social isolation epidemic worldwide, and nearly 1 in 4 adults suffer from this. The impact of this is far greater than those associated with obesity and physical inactivity. According to psychologists in the Middle East region, many residents go through feelings of loneliness and adjustment issues that lead to depression, stress, and anxiety. In America, 36% of residents, including 61% of young adults and 51% of mothers with young children, suffer from serious loneliness. More than 148 studies suggest that social connections increase the odds of survival by 50%. Taking part in local activities, events, and experiences helps people create a sense of community and foster connections, especially for those who feel isolated or disconnected from their surroundings. Also, exploring a new area, language, culture, or skill can expose people to new experiences which has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety and improve overall mental health.

Around the globe, about 75% of major issues and conflicts are associated with cultural differences, either directly or indirectly. Diverse global and local experiences contribute to promoting peace on a global level by increasing understanding of different cultures and building tolerance. When people from diverse backgrounds interact and share their experiences, they can learn from each other and respect the differences between them. This helps develop empathy, kindness, and respect for other cultures, communities, and countries and reduces conflict and misunderstanding. Also, when people collaborate on a common trip, learning session, or local community project, they build connections and mutual understanding and break down barriers. Overall, global and local experiences are highly important to help people learn, grow, and understand each other through their experiences, and those are key components of harmony and peace on a global level.

Sustainable tourism is vital for empowering local communities, fostering cultural understanding, environmental protection, job creation, ecological footprint reduction, and community welfare. It ensures the long-term viability of destinations by minimizing the negative impacts of travel and maximizing the benefits for locals. Globalocal Experiences plays a significant role in sustainable tourism by helping people connect with sustainable tourism experiences and encouraging local communities to promote sustainable behavior. This helps people develop a deeper understanding of resources and an appreciation of the ecosystem. For example, participating in activities such as kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching in a protected environment can make people aware of the importance of natural habitat preservation and motivate them to support such efforts. Similarly, participating in organic gardening, or food farming initiatives promotes food waste reduction and sustainable farming and production. By linking tourists with opportunities for impactful activities that benefit the places they explore, Globalocal Experiences encourages ethical travel habits and supports a sustainable tourism sector.

Our hosts are from diverse cultures and backgrounds, which gives guests unique perspectives into the history, traditions, culture, customs, practices, and ways of life of a particular community. It is a great way to get insight into the local economy, cuisine, and lifestyle, which promotes cross-cultural exchanges and fosters mutual respect and appreciation. This platform is a powerful tool for promoting cultural diversity and understanding, which can ultimately lead to a more tolerant and inclusive global society. Let’s have the best local and global cultural experiences.

The financial empowerment of people is something that is at the heart of the ideology at Globalocal Experiences. This platform provides an opportunity for individuals to start a side hustle or a business. E.g., people can offer guided tours, showcase unique cultures, teach skills, and do a lot more that are unique to the local area and earn money. This creates a source of income and reduces employment. Diverse experiences also encourage people to invest in their communities or ventures by making them feel attracted by learning about the value and potential of local assets or skills to support local businesses or initiatives that can benefit the entire community. Additionally, this can increase tourism to the cities, which can have a great impact on the local economy as it can create jobs and boost overall economic growth. 

Global and local experiences make people take ownership of their communities, drive positive change, and foster a sense of unity in them. It helps people develop a deeper understanding of their unique cultural heritage and traditions, which strengthens the community and increases identity and pride. When people develop locally curated experiences, they easily identify problems and work for solutions as a team with other community members from different backgrounds. This helps create inclusive communities, break down all barriers, foster trust, build relationships, and work toward positive change. Also, experience plays a significant role in providing opportunities for economic development that strengthen their social, cultural, and economic foundations, which ultimately creates a brighter future for everyone in the community.
