When I found out I could help as a local guide to let other people know about competent small businesses I decided I would do it as frequently as I could. So I started with the surroundings of my university (UNI) that included a cafe and a few bars to start. Then I discovered some clothing stores and a pharmacy. When some of my friends saw me doing that, they started wondering why did I have such an interest on these places that were considered a care-less minority for the big mappers around and that’s when I realized I was doing it precisely because of that. I think that everybody who’s making a big effort to succeed deserves to have the opportunity of being “re-discovered” by many other people and somehow that would make them grow faster.
Now I think about adding all these missing places not just for the foreign visitors but for the native population that is not aware of how many good options they have.
