So who is a localie?
Can I become one if I'm not a professional tour guide?
Yes of course you can! A Localie is an open, communicative and friendly person, and a citizen of the world. They have dreamt of life abroad and have managed to realise their dream!
Localies live all over the world, in hundreds of countries all the way from Moscow to Tokyo! Some of us study at university, others are highly qualified professionals who have built their career abroad. Localies can be anyone whether they be a scientist, a business owner or even just a lover of travel.
