What does the local guides program mean to me

I have a lot of friends that are foodies that love posting photos of the food they eat and posting reviews of those places. I thought it was interesting so I stated doing it as well. At first, I thought it would be a great way to keep track of all the places I’ve been to. As I continued to post up pictures and reviews, I’ve stopped doing reviews on every place that I’ve been to. I asked myself if this is what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to be a generic guide, I wanted to be more unique, so I started seeking out the hole in the wall restaurants, places that are very unique, as well as reviewing overrated places.

This way, I believe I can be a local guide that people can trust when someone wants a really good restaurant to try out or if I want people to go to this very fancy park because it is totally worth your time.
