They say, one of the factors which leads to our happiness in life is the connection to other people. We feel happy, we feel good and safe, we feel loved and important when we communicate, when we share and when we help. We also feel very grateful when our requests are answered and we get the help or advice which we need. And I totally agree with that.
That’s why Local Guides program is so important to me and so highly appreciated. I feel as a part of the group, of the community of people who care, who share and who are ready to help others. I use those lists, tips, advice, recommendations which people with experience are ready to give for me not to invent the bicycle. They make my trips easier, less stressful, richer and brighter. It’s much easier to take decisions when you have some information about the place or local culture and specificities. I enjoy these gifts and I’m also willing to give and share, which I do by means os my texts and photos.
I’m sharing my experience, I review the places I have visited. I want other people to know about those places, to see them with their own eyes, to feel what I felt there or maybe something really different but still important to them. This is also my way to express the gratitude to the host who has arranged or is running the place, who made me feel relaxed or excited, who surprised me with a great food or refreshing drink. Or maybe just with a kind smile and a cheer when I needed it the most. And its the way to express my appreciation to our Mother-Nature, which blessed us with the incredible places on the earth, unbelievable colors, smells, sounds and tastes which let us enjoy our life.
I am a writer. Traveling and visiting new places give me inspiration and energy. And possibility to share my experience with other people and get their feedback gives more meaning to my creative work and to my life in general.
I’m happy and proud to be one of the Local Guides.
