Being a local Guide in Viking lands (Sweden)

Hi there… :blush:

In this post i will talk a bit about the prompt “What does the Local Guides program mean to you?"

Moving to Sweden from Tanzania :tanzania: was challenging and a bit difficult , well i had a couple of reasons to why i made this decision , but hey that’s not what i intend to share with you :wink: , my goal to to share with you all what Being a google Local Guide means to me!

A new country , no friends , no job , this was very difficult in the beginning , i came here already as a local guide so i decided to spend sometimes taking pictures and share them with others, writing review and so on , this really made me feel like a part of society and gave me energy to go outside in the darkness and cold to take those picture in new places and share my thoughts to everyone, and this was triggered with some positive comments from shops,restaurants , hotels , company owners.

So with this , i could make friends , meet new people in meetups and helped me quite much in getting my new job , so that is how much this means to me and it has actually improved my photography skills and i’m always looking forward to go somewhere new and share this to the world , it feels like i have an obligation to the world to share in a good way :slightly_smiling_face:

I cant wait to go back home and share with you all , all the attractions that can be found in my country Tanzania , here is to mention a few

Serengeti National Park :lion:

Mt. Kilimanjaro :mountain_snow:

Ngorongoro game reserve

Beautiful Zanzibar :beach_umbrella:

I hope this will inspire other people as well and to all of you who are doing this amazing job of sharing your photos and reviews , thank you so much

Ahsante Sana

Enjoy some of my shots , sorry for arrangement :

Best Regards

Jonathan
