Members’ Travel Experiences
Members are able to describe in detail their experiences when travelling.
These may be
• A holiday at a destination where they have stayed at the same hotel, villa or apartment for a one or more weeks and where locally they have found restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, local tours or they may have hired a car for a few days and discovered villages, great scenery, out of the way beaches and many other things that one might not normally find without local knowledge.
• A tour throughout a country or region where they have hired a car at an arrival airport and then visited many places and stayed at hotels or residences which one might not normally find.
Members’ Properties
Some members of The Local Know Club may own properties abroad and in order to cover overheads, are happy to rent out their properties occasionally to people they know well or they may have met through membership of The Local Know Club.
The Local Know Club does not seek commissions from the rental of properties as rentals are arranged directly between the parties who typically will have arranged to meet prior to agreeing the detail. Or even if a rental arrangement is not made, members might make contact and then subsequently meet at the holiday location where one or other party will have a very good local knowledge of where to go and what to do e.g. the fantastic village in the countryside or the superb restaurant which one might not normally find.
