Creative writing, photography, discovering new cultures and friendships. The local guide program has had a significant impact on my life ever since I got involved in it a year ago. I discovered the local guides by pure accident when I was traveling through a city in the middle east.
To me being a local guide means discovering new places, write great reviews and meet new people from all over the world and to make friends. I also look at it as giving back to small communities and business owners who are not quite aware of how to promote their business or a place of interest. This program also motivates me to go out and about to venture into new places. I like to take photographs but never had the chance to take it up as a hobby, But ever since I 've joined this program I’ve been tacking a lot of phots and it has received lots of views which in turn has motivated me to look at places and objects with a photographic eye! So this has become my new hobby 
I’ve made lots of friends through this, especially business owners and managers. I am so thrilled and honored to be a part of this.
