:dizzy: What I love about being a Local Guide:

Sharing the hidden gems of my hometown — peaceful beaches, cultural landmarks, local eateries, and spiritual places — with travelers around the world. It’s my way of giving back to the community and helping others explore with confidence and curiosity.

:globe_showing_asia_australia: My favorite thing to explore:

  • Calm, less crowded beaches :desert_island:
  • Traditional street food spots :curry_rice:
  • Sacred temples and coastal shrines :hindu_temple:
  • Nature trails and wildlife moments :bird::deciduous_tree:

:camera_with_flash: Fun fact about me:

In my hometown, you can actually witness sunrise over the ocean while deer roam peacefully along the shore. It’s a rare and magical sight that reminds me how lucky I am to live so close to nature. :deer::sunrise:


:raising_hands: Let’s connect!

I’m a Level 7 Local Guide, and I’m truly happy to be part of this global community. Looking forward to discovering new places, sharing my corner of the world, and learning from all of you! :globe_showing_europe_africa::sparkles:
