I have forgotten since when I started to fill and share as a local guide. All of a sudden, sharing locations, reviewing places, sharing photos, sharing ridiculousness became a new hobby. Sometimes we interpret hobbies as something we repeatedly do without any boredom felt. Repeatedly carried out until whenever, wherever and under any conditions that sometimes cause new problems around us (not other people. But usually have an impact on my family)
Had also thought whether this hobby will be my livelihood or not? Judging from my posts and the reviews I gave, I don’t think anyone will pay me. but enough is my pleasure as a cure.
The first time I reviewed, I thought that I would get something useful like a free meal coupon, a free hotel stay and so on. But over time it has not felt anymore.
When I see my post or review, it is read by hundreds of thousands of people or my photos are seen by hundreds of thousands of people, truly satisfaction is more than getting a free coupon or a free ticket.
I really enjoyed this process with my family until now I am a level 7 local guide. I really don’t feel a certain target to reach this level.
I hope that this hobby can be passed on to my child, because the benefits of giving a review is something that might be very useful for others. Giving information is something that other people need when in certain situations that we cannot trust.
I included a photo of me at the Padang-Padang beach on the island of Bali and also a photo of my pride that is the entrance of the botanical garden in Bogor Indonesia which has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. for you, a popular local guide, photos with a large number of people who see may be ordinary. but for me this is an extraordinary achievement.
I hope I will continue to do it as something happy. see you at the next level!?
