When I started being a local guide, I shared many places, the places I’ve been to; famous ones, typical ones, basically, the first places that pop into a tourist’s mind when he/she gets in a new country.
Then by time, I discovered that traveling for me means learning and shifting my mindset, having a story to tell about that place and a life long experience, that’s when I figure out that I need to help people who have the same point of view and I started to share local places, places that not everyone can or is interested in seeing but that is unique in some way that makes it the best place in that city or country.
So I started all along with sharing everyday places that may interest more people, taking into consideration to share some unique places in my city to target people who share the same mindset with me.
And that what makes me a real local guide for me, to share and promote local places like the local desert, traditional and historical ones that have a lot to do with the local community and that era of the country.
