Hi, my name Olena, I’m from Kiev, Ukraine.
Four years ago, Ukrainians have got the opportunity to travel in Europe without visas. Since then I have visited many interesting places.
Now I can tell that it’s not easy to organize a trip yourself. Especially if you have never been to the destination country before.
The Local Guides program makes my every trip interesting and comfortable. Frankly speaking I am happy that this program exists!
Before I start planning my visits to a certain country usually I definitely review the recommendations of people who have already been there. And then I leave my reviews too, to facilitate the choice of other people.
I constantly use the experience and knowledge of other members of the Local Guides program. It is very convenient to do this: recommendations, reviews, photos are always available. If it is necessary, I can ask a question and quickly get an answer.
The Local Guides program helps me feel a part of a large and active global community. It is very impressive and inspiring for me! I see that the program is a living system. The content there constantly updated, the amount of information is growing every day. And it is important that this information can be trusted. Because these are not advertising posts, but the opinion of real people - the same travelers as me ?
I realize that now Ukraine is not a very popular country among travelers. But there are wonderful natural and historical sights too.
And I belive the activity of the local Ukrainian guides community able to improve the country’s image and then to attract more tourists there. I want Ukraine becomes as open and friendly for foreign guests as Europe, the USA and other tourist regions.
Thanks for reading ?
