My most Interesting thing I’ve done went as follows:

Malls have such high security and taking any pictures of store fronts within malls is not allowed in malls here in Johannesburg. My solution to that involved timing security guards and James Bond Style incognito, taking as many pictures as I possibly can.

So far i have been caught just about less then a dozen times. I think its the passion that drives me. When people search for detail of placed especially mall shops, people should have the option to not only read reviews but also to see most recent pictures.

And thats my most interesting thing I’ve done as a Local Guide.

Im super keen to hear your experince

Here you can find everything you need to know about writing a post for your Connect Live 2020 application. Don’t forget to review your final post and make sure you are not missing any of the points mentioned. If you are - feel free to edit your publication from the three dots and add them.
