I have to say I am not an outgoing person. Or you can said I am cold or even dull.
Few years ago, I got the mail that was my first time to see “Local Guide.”
After researching, finally, I understood what they are doing to be a local guide.
Sharing the photos and comments on google maps are not too hard and looks so interesting for me. Because at that time, my life was too boring. I was working on my two major and part-time job. I didn’t have too much time to hang out with classmates or friends. Therefore, I tried to take the photos what I ate in restaurant and upload on google maps, and also wrote down my comments of food. Then, I found out more and more people to see my comments and photos, or even they will press the like button. When I saw it, I was so happy. 'cause I am not doing something meaningless. Someone take my comments and see my photos are very proud of me. It makes me feel like I’m identified. I can do something in my boring life.
Also, it gives me motivation to do more. Like find more delicious food or visit more attractions to take unforgettable photos. Both them are part of my life now. And I am very happy to do so.
For example, last year, I participated WAT in USA program by myself. I got more courage to change myself to walk out my little world. It gives me chance to visit lots of place in USA, more over I meet lots of people during the travel. I got the courage to talk to people to chat with them. When I came back to Taiwan, I upload beautiful photos and share them with my friends. Most friends keep asking me details and I encourage them walk out to go travel.
I got more courage and happier after being local guide. That’s the reason why I want to participate connect live 2020. I believe I can do it better or do more, and I wan to know more people or anything else. I want to connect with the world.
