What does the Local Guides program mean to you?

Exploring new places was really fascinating for me since childhood. Traveling has been my favorite activity. I wanted to share all my traveled diaries somewhere. Then randomly going through maps lead me to discover the contribution option. This option bought a new phase in my life. I was excited to share photos on the app. The number of views I got for them enlightened me. It inspired me to develop photography as a new hobby. Becoming a local guide let me see new variations in myself.

I developed the curiosity of traveling to new places and sharing that experience with others. Imparting my views to others lets them have a better experience than mine. I was thrilled by the number of people around the world who would go through my posts and photos encouraged me to do more.

It gave me a whole new community where my work was respected and loved. I should say that never I thought that sharing would mean this much to me until I became a local guide. My dream or aim is to let people explore the beauty of nature and let it stay the same for future generations.

As a local guide, there is immense responsibility on our shoulders. We have to be authentic and let all the users have a wonderful lifetime fun experience and a sense of belongingness in nature.

I would like to say that I would love to continue being a local guide and let people have a great experience through my experience. Always smile and spread happiness.
