I became a local guide in order to share my experiences with other people so they could make informed decisions about where to go. I started by going to my favorite restaurants and writing reviews about them. Soon I wanted to share even more places, so I started going to places where I normally wouldn’t go. I have been in shacks made of plywood and tarps, but the giant grill out front creates the most delicious BBQ chicken I have had! I have been in small grocery stores where people are yelling across the room in a foreign language, but when they brought out my bowl of Pho the first time I found a new comfort food! I go to new places whenever I have the chance. My favorite places are the small little hole in the walls that no one seems to know about. I feel that by leaving a review with photos that I can help bring them more business (if they are places where I have had a good experience). I love trying food from all over the world! I would love to travel the world trying local food from all around the globe! I am thankful for people who come to me instead by opening a restaurant featuring cuisine from their country, and I love being able to introduce them to new customers through my reviews. I am on a mission to try as many new places as I can, and bring people along with me through my reviews!
