The local guide program means so much to me. It means helping others while having fun and De-stressing from your daily life.
I live in Egypt , I am currently studying computer engineering at Cairo university. A few years ago when i started programming i was so excited and encouraged to learn more, but after a bit of time coding just became very stressful for me every time i get an error i can’t fix immediately i get really frustrated and discouraged to continue, I felt really burnt out and all i felt like a really need a break to continue and to stay encouraged, but at the time everything that is not coding felt like a waste of time so even thinking about breaks stressed me even more.
This is when i discovered the local guides program and everything started to feel different for me i felt like taking breaks and going out doing some other things that i love and discovering new places is not only fun but it is also helpful , By my reviews and contributions I am helping others decide how to get the best out of their free time and the best ways to take a break from their daily life whether its by a really delicious meal like personally for me sushi or doing something out of their comfort zone like zip lining.
Being a local guide changed my way of thinking and it even made me more encouraged to stay focused on studying to get more work done so i can have more free time to visit and review more places.
I am really glad and happy to be one of Cairo’s local guides and i would love to continue for so many years to come.
