It’s about one year from the day that I become a Local Guide! This is a wonderful journey for me. The Local Guides program has change the way l live, travel and my mind. Honestly, Local Guides gave me many chances to be a better version of me.
With others’ supporting on Local Guides, I make better decision when I consider about where I should go for eating, cafe, relaxing, doing sports, especially where I travel and what activities I should try. Obviously, I save lots of time to consider about my plan daily and I also have more interesting experiences in a good places that is identified by other local guides. I found out many lovely coffee shops, excellent local restaurants, and nice sport centers when I was traveling around my country and Thailand.
Besides the conveniences I have from Local Guides, I realize that I could support other people who also love travel and need guides to know about strange places. To be a local guide is a meaningful happiness with me.
I could share my experiences with many people to help them decide easier. I also help local business owners to introduce their business to others. By that way, local guides like me could encourage the development of local business and give them many opportunities to improve. I still remember my conversation with a young owner of a small tea shop in Can Tho city, he shared about his happiness when he read the reviews from local guides. That motivated him to improve his quality serving.
The most important thing Local Guide program gives is connecting with many people around the world not only people that I met in person but also people who just know through our reviews or photos. I opened mind to learn many beautiful lessons from new friends. They share me about their cultures, their stories, their experiences. In fact, I had many chances to be a member of cute teams that we traveled together, shared nice experiences even if we just met in the first time. They actually taught me so much about the life, motivated me on my journey. I feel that the connection between humans and humans is the great beauty which everyone desires to belong to.
Finally, I really love Local Guides program because I could introduce many interesting destinations to many international friends. Honestly, I hope that my reviews and photos could support foreign visitors have the great experiences when they discover Vietnam.
Thank for being a local guide. Thank for connecting everyone around the world.
