About Your Tour Guide: “Hi, my name is Dakota Sweet. I’m 26 years old and I love to create tours. My favourite areas of tourism are learning the history, art, and culture behind everything we see. Art can show so many aspects of communities and the people that lives there. The history tells us where they started and how they grew to the community that it is today. Culture tells us about the people, their beliefs and traditions. All these things can show us so much and are important to know when we are trying to learn about the community. This is where my passion for tourism comes from and why I love to keep learning. Every community there is something to learn about and explore, which is why I’m excited to apart of this project! ”
