As an introduction, in a few words, I realize that I was a local guide last year, with my first invitation to connect live came, I realize everything I was doing and I found it wonderful that all the photos I took, all the comments on the sites I had left were really helping other people.
Well… in those times I had a million problems, I didn’t have a place to live so I had to get many jobs to be able to support myself and get something, I was having 5 jobs 
and one of them was to do surveys of the whereabouts 
were, which led me to travel throughout my province and get many points without knowing it; In another of my jobs, they made life impossible for me to resign (which I finally did and I found out that it was because the manager wanted to put her niece in my position 
, I will not say names but the clown franchise 
in Chile is not a good place to work, at least not in Temuco).
So … when I realized that I was a local guide I felt a little bit special 
, I was contributing to something, helping people, answering questions, making reviews, I started uploading photos that had more than 2000 visits! It was crazy 
, it became a parallel universe where I could be a traveler, food critic 
(which is what I like the most) and everything was booming. I added sites that looked good to me, I felt that I had to share that those places existed so that the community could get to know them, I made useful comments about how the attention of certain sites was, which surely caused more than a headache to the tenants; all this always appealing to the truth, with photos, locations and everything, without generalizing to those who had a chain because in one place they can serve well but perhaps not in the other branch.
Having another world that had so much contact with reality was one of the fundamental pillars to get out of where I was, I also had very good friends, we collected money, we went on a trip 
and I uploaded everything I could to google maps.
Nowadays I keep responding and uploading reviews because local guides is part of my life, a part that I treasure above any other online community.

I am so grateful for the local guides program because it helped me feel important in a world that made me feel miserable
