The Local Guides Program is a social responsibility for me

The Local Guides Program has stoked my will to travel more, see more, and experience more.

I always liked to travel. But living in a family with many siblings and few resources meant that I always had limited money on hand. At times, I used to feel restricted due to where I could go and what I could experience.

Ever since I became the part of the Local Guides program, I have gained new eyes. While trying to capture best shots for fellow travelers, I have learned to become more observant. I have started taking aspect in the minute details I used to miss earlier. I have started talking to locals more and discover places and stories that are not available online.

These simple changes have opened up a whole new world for me. I have learned that experiences can be gained in all budgets. I have learned that the world exists in several layers and we can gain so many types of experiences at the same place.
