The most interesting thing, as a Local Guide, is letting someone know where they didn't know before.

The most interesting thing, as a Local Guide, is letting someone know where they didn’t know before.

I am living in Leonia in New Jersey, USA.

There are several fafe in Leonia even it is small town.

Last year, I took a photo of cafe Mignon, it’s outside photo.

I printed it’s name on the photo and uploaded it on google.

When I upload the photo, I never know that more 1000 people watch it.

I am living nearby manhattan.

It took 15 minutes by car going to manhattan.

I took some photos at manhattan and uploaded

Many people watched it.

However,

before uploading, many people already knew about Time Square, New York Public Library, etc…

Cafe Mignon is different story.

Because of my activity as local guide

many people realized that cafe mignon was in Leonia.

It make me happier than taking a nice landmark photo people already know

I hope my photo helps other…
