Hello from the Netherlands! My name is Michelle Chan and I’ll keep my story short and simple. I’ve been a local guide for more than 4 years. I grew up as a very shy person as an Asian in the western community. I started as a local guide as game with a friend as “who can collect more points by the end of the year”. And I won, and I never stopped doing reviewing and sharing places.
I felt like I had somewhere to put my voice and thought about a place, and there may be someone listening to it and may be help someone. My reviews and shared pictures are viewed almost 40.000 times. Now I’m still sharing and reviewing places with an intent to give people information about the food choices, the wheelchair accessibility and the group capacity of a place.
I hope that I’ll be selected as one of the participants to go to California to pop my little comfort bubble and discover something I would never be able to.
Thank you for listening!
Or in our local speech: houdoe en bedankt!
