I don’t know where I will start, living out of your city or country where you born is very difficult and terrible for the moment till you learned the environment, local things, directions, peoples, and culture of the new places.
However, I born and grow up in a small village in # Ethiopia, in this city/ village everybody knows each other and the technologies or Map Guiders are not used widely. but with these experiences one day I traveled out of my country for educational purposes for the first time to one of the biggest cities in Europe, Moscow, Russia.
After I arrived in Moscow, everything is new for me and confused because of the nature of the city, peoples, culture, and new languages and other mores makes me in a cultural shock.
I stayed indoor for more than a week because I am new for the environment and afraid of the loss of the places, streets because everything is new for me and looks like the same.
Plus to that, I don’t even know how to use google map, because as I indicated above is not common in my country to use local guiders instead peoples ask each other in order to reach their destinations.
Then after one of the friends of mine told me to use local guider if I will go out and then I started to use local guider but it was been very challenging for me
After several days of starting using google map, I lost my direction in somewhere in the city and can’t able to back to my student’s hostel. I can say that at that moment I was in hell for some hours but gradually I am starting familiar with the applications on how to use and save my self, time and even develop self-confidence more to the place where I am and in my daily life start using local guider.
Then after exploring every special place like Monasteries, Museums, Zoo Parks, Metros, and other mores in the city with the help of local guider. Now in 21st-century life is sophisticated, the cities are widening and technologically linked, harder and harder but thanks to local guider it makes life simple and becomes the parts of daily life. Therefore google local guider is my part of daily life and it’s beyond.

In the beginning, I am the one who is afraid of going out of the home but after having enough experiences and believe in the local guider map, I went too far away and discovered the test of life’s and appreciate the cherishing of football fans at Semeral Arena stadium. therefore in all of my journeys and trips discover the backbone was Local guider.

After having all these experiences with local Guider in Moscow and it’s surroundings, I went to Far Eastern parts of Russia, Vladivostok City.
Russky Bridge, Vladivostok, Russia, 2018.
Vladivostok is the city of Nature and port, as I challenged in Moscow, but in Vladivostok, I had already the experiences of local Guider and even I hadn’t felt like the newcomer to the city. And I started to explore the city and enjoyed my trip life.
besides the beauty of the city of Vladivostok, I explore the natures and different destination places with naturally attractive with wild animals, the good geographical architecture of the land with all these with help of local guider.
Then after having all these experiences, I went to China for a holiday vacation and again testify the experiences of local guider in Beijing. I went to China alone without having any friends, I don’t know the Chinese language, I am new for the city but I trusted local guider which properly helped me without any problems.
Visiting the Great Wall of China was one of my dream and hobby when I was in childhood, and my dream comes true with the help of the local guider (it guides me in the direction and I covered my expenses, haha)

Again, I didn’t stop exploring the world and experiencing the usefulness of the local guider, and I went to Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto) to testify the culture, food, technologies, languages and other more. again, I don’t know the Japanese language and my trust is again my local guider map, yes local guider 100%. without asking anybody and I visited all the historical places like Temples, castles, Museums, Shopping Malls, and others with only the local guider.
Therefore, I said in reason the world is difficult to find without the help of local guider, so local guider is my life.
