The Local Guides program means a lot for me. But I describe only three main things, which I called HFT. These are my priorities in life. And they are really connected with Local Guides.
The first one is a chance to help other people (H – help). Today really important to be a part of society, not to live only for yourself, to be a person which can help anybody even in simple things. I am an introvert. And it is not simply to share my opinions with other people. But also I know that it is difficult to make decision about going anywhere if you do not know anything. When we are going to a new place we are always want to ask someone – what should we do, or what should we know? Because it gives us confidence that everything will be fine. And like Local Guides I can help people to know some things, to use information. For example, I tried to add photos, which are absent in Google map, because most of us are visuals, and when we can see photos, we can decide to go or not.

The second thing is freedom (F-freedom). Freedom means to have a chance to choose the places which I definitely like, which will give me the best emotions and experience. I have several opinions of other guides and I can decide for myself. And that is a freedom. I’ve already saw a lot of interesting places which were not the most popular, but for me they were the best according my emotions.

And the third is time (T). In our everyday life we always harry to go, to eat, to work and so on. It is difficult to find important information, because we need more time. Local Guides help to get everything you need now, not to read everything in different places. You can use this time for more important things!

So my main priorities –HFT – these are the main points in Local Guides program. Thanks all of you!
