Tourism

When I was told about being a local guide by my elder brother, I was immediately captivated because I can share historic places ,nice sit out places, malls, restaurants, places with African cuisines and of course support small business.

I am very adventurous and very inquisitive.

But prior to google map, I usually miss my way when I go to new places and I find it pretty hard to find suitable spots to enjoy myself.

Being a local guide myself now, I am very happy to upload pictures and videos of every location I go to so that future explorers and travelers will feel at home whenever they arrive in South Africa.

My passion is fueled by the fact that, every time I upload or answer facts questions, the response from google is, you are helping a lot of people.

This gives me joy to do more.

Hi @Obafemi-78 ,

Thank you for your post. Keep in mind that language labels are marked when you are using a specific language and helps Local Guides find posts in the language they speak or are interested in. Therefore, I’ve removed the French tag from your post as it’s written in English.

Locations are marked separately and should not be mixed with the language.

Please take a moment to revise our helpful topics:
