【Travel is the best thing in my life】The most interesting thing I have done as a Local Guide

[Nian-Tsz]

Hi ! I’m Nian,I love to travel alone and share with people, so the Google Map & Local Guide is my best friend on the road,the photos,experience helping me a lot.

In 2017, I walking travel around Taiwan,I’m going to Couchsurfing , so I started to using Local Guide, mark everyone place l want to go or eat, and my host’s home,on the road,when I meet traveler,we share list,and got a friend.

Everyday when I wake up , I open Local Guide to see where to go,watch other guys experience,and then I find a lot of beautiful place or great restaurant I never know.

One day,I went to a coffee shop I see on google map,there has a lot of Taiwanese antique,the cafe owner built this place,when he heard I really love the meal and I was walking travel,he come to talk with me,and call his friend in Hualien take care me.

I arrive Hualien on day 65, the journey almost over,I meet his friend-Zhong,he runs a hostel and also is an artist,he is really kind to me.

Next day I know a French women,she know Zhong from her friends too,she live in Japan 10 years,and we talk,playing at beach,cook,and take the tent camping in Taroko(Taiwan famous a beautiful mountain),and we go to night market in Taipei,show our best culture,she really love it .

It was crazy because before I know her,I thought my English is bad ,I can’t talk to foreigner,but we talk a lot about life,culture,story,dream and very deep,It was very precious friendship.Last year I went to Japan to visit her,she marries Japanese,they show me their nature life,we cook on fire,it’s wonderful memories.

After that,I start to travel not just in Taiwan and sometimes by myself,I want to Korea,Malaysia,Hong Kong,Japan,I use Local Guide plan my journey,and take the photo, wrote my experience on local guide to share more people,and also take Vlog to share my friend my travel.

Thanks Local Guide,take me around the world.
