That’s what I feel when I realize the value of the Local Guide. A multitude of possibilities that we have in our hand. Experience and value local cultures with residents, which is incredible!
At the beginning it is a sequence of “yes” and “no”, until you start using the tool as a friendly advisor, which indicates good places for you to visit, meet, interact. And from there your friendship grows and evolves. When you realize that the society around you, especially the one closest to you, the corner market, the horti-fruti, the cafeteria next to your home, starts receiving visits based on your comments and little by little they grow, you realize the importance of a ‘board’!
A little advice can change your scenario a lot. A little piece of advice, given well, can change the scenery of several people and create a beautiful cascade effect, where mutual help is the rule for the system to work. It sounds like an exaggeration, but it’s the little details that make the difference, and it’s the little advice, done by the right people, that actually influences other people!
And this is what motivates me to be at the Local Guide, these possibilities of helping people, and the possibility of this impact generating a positive change both in the people who receive and those who visit. Since this contact has the possibility to generate more positive impacts and this becomes a domino effect. In addition to the fact that there is a sharing of cultures, experiences, knowledge, this type of sharing is what we need to value the people of our society.My feeling for the possibilities that the tool offers me is one of gratitude. And what it means to me is the infinite possibilities. Now my advice to you reader …
Be an advisor for this tool. Help us to value your local customs, the businesses of your city, participate in this movement and we will exchange experiences!
