Why choose us?

globe

Travelling alone is hard

Traveling to foreign places can be scary due to the language barriers, unsafe areas, or being unwelcoming of foreigners. We want to allow you to feel safe and explore the city you are in with confidence

globe

Immerse in the local culture

Travel as a local and go beyond the “tourist” spots. Explore the authentic local cuisines, visit the hidden gems of the city, and join the local activities! Our guides will show what it’s really like to live as a local in their city

About the founders

Hi! We are Bobby and Weibo,

We are both currently college students based in Southern California. One of our dreams is to travel to experience new cultures and meet new people. Our goals for Otter Guides is to encourage travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture of the place they are visiting and give them a safe way to do so. We have a lot to improve on still so feel free to get in touch with us on any feedback that you have.
