What does the local guides system mean to me?
To me, the Local Guides system is somewhat of a social responsibility. There’s a saying in India, “Atithi Devo Bhava” which essentially translates to, Visitors are agents of God, and I take the words seriously. To me, just to be able to help out a fellow traveller on where to go is a form of showing my appreciation for giving my city/area/favourite haunts a shot and believe that it’s absolutely worthwhile to visit the places I know to be amazing or even just to be able to give them a heads up as to whether the place in question is going to be worth their while or preference at all. It has been a fun and welcoming journey so far and I wish to continue for as long as I hope I can.
