Loyal to the social idea- What being a local guide means to me

In a world where everything really seems to have its price I like things that are based on the basic social idea of helping each other :slightly_smiling_face: Plenty of things were started to bring people closer together and really have a cultural exchange, such like Airbnb, shared ride apps like BlahBlahcar and so on. But unlike all those other ideas the local guides program really is free for everyone and did not develop into something that is used as a business plattform. Being a local guide means to me to help others while being wowed by all the people that look at your photos, which is a reward that you can not buy. Being a local guide also does not mean to only write positive reviews, I am personally encouraging every single local guide or Google user to let the others know if something was not good or even dangerous! Being a local guide is also about keeping others from what I ran into. I don’t want others to walk high up on a mountain to a famous cottage just to be robbed off their money,while the next one is just as beautiful and very affordable, I don’t want people to pay high prices for food or hotels only because they assume there isn’t a cheaper way, I also don’t want people to save money at the wrong end where it is absolutely worth spending a little bit more, as long as I can keep them from and the local guides programm just gives me that opportunity! Furthermore I can help great people with great business that gave me a good time to be more popular and grow their ideas.The LG program has so many upsides and really the only downside is the time you spend creating a post. What impact you can have as a single perosn became very clear when one of my photos hit 3 MILLION views! That just amazed me and I’d never even dream about this to happen. It is a photo whre you’d never expect it from:

At the end of the day the local guide programm is a mission to me, a mission to a world where nobody must live in misconception about a place where other people have been before and a place where people are rewarded by their customers for the great business they do.

See you somewhere on planet earth
