The beauty of being a local guide and what it means to me.

I genuinely feel like having a platform to discuss my opinions has enabled me to be more comfortable with them, as a young child in a household with very dominant personalities expressing myself wasn’t something I was great at I always internalised or journaled and I’ve transitioned that over there too my experience is that I share with Google. I like to think of myself as a strong-minded female and I think that we all need an outlet to express ourselves and to document our lifestyle and journalling is a thing of the past, vlogging has become more prominent but reviews … that’s where the magic is .To share your experience with other people to let them know your input, input that is respected by the establishments of which you attend and the people of whom you keep company. To know that the impact reaches so many and on such a level can be inspiring. Furthermore finding other guides and their opinions, sharing in the commonalities is often one of the best parts of what we do. As a level 7 guide I’ve come to realize that documenting my experiences has benefited other people and helps them to enjoy their experiences more effectively and helping them select where to go and what to do depending on their interests. Has anyone else found that they’ve made some amazing connections just by sharing in their experiences and helping others to enjoy themselves?
