I started getting intentional about the local guide program when I realized people begun to ask questions about the places I visited and reviewed. I felt like there was a responsibility I had to honor for people to have a real sense of where their next event or place of accommodation or eatery is like, before even going there.
Now, I know a lot of people of depend on me to make key decisions on places and to me, sharing my personal experiences of the places I visit makes me feel fulfilled that I have helped someone to see and experience the reality from afar.
