What local guide means to me: make people travel from their home.

I want to tell you a little about my story. Unfortunately, a few years ago I lost my dear Grandmother. It was a car accident on Christmas day. It happened in front of her house. She was an exceptional woman who dedicated her life and love to the family and her, our home and has been my safe haven for a lifetime. A few years after her death I decided to start a new life and move to London and from there, I decided to take a sabbatical year to travel and get to know the world and bring her with me. I’m sure she watched over me all the time. I hope through my eyes that I have introduced her to incredible places that she had never seen for being always there for us and being the angel of the house and my mummy.

This is why being a traveller and a local guide means to me help other people to travel while they are home. Give them a little thing to dream about and a distractions if they can’t move. Give my contribution is very rewarding and I can also help small business to shine! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @TsekoV , thanks for your help, I was a little worried yesterday because I couldn’t find my post anymore.

Anyway as I used the link to apply to Connect Live 2020, before that, do you think that will be still valid? Or when you unlocked the page some on the link has change? :disappointed:

Please, advice.

Thanks

Sara

Hello @SaraRaimondo and welcome to Connect!

Thank you for your first post here! I just wanted to let you know that I have removed the Italian language tag of your post as it’s written in English. These types of labels are used so that posts in different languages can be found more easily by Local Guides who are speakers of these languages. You can learn more about language tags in the article: How do I find posts in my preferred language?.

In addition, since you’re new to the community, you might be also interested to check out Your guide to Connect.
