What does the Local Guides program mean to me?

I live in the greatest city on Earth. No, really. It’s true.

The convenience is a luxury that we do not take full advantage of.

In New York City, I can:

grab a slice of pizza at any given time of the day

skate indoors in the summer

swim in an Olympic sized pool

walk/bike across multiple bridges

visit waterfalls in the park

visit a castle in the middle of the park

All these hidden gems and perks are just there within our sights but largely overlooked because we never take the time to explore our neighborhoods.

Many locals complain that there is “nothing to do”, but in reality there is actually so much to explore - they just don’t know where to begin.

The Local Guides program is my way of giving back to the community all the knowledge I’ve gained - from my own discoveries and from the knowledge and tips from other local guides. It’s time for us to rediscover what our city has to offer! It doesn’t take much time or effort :slightly_smiling_face: Let’s take it one list at a time.
