Do you know what the Local Guides Program means to me, well in short I was working 50-60 hours a week, I wasn’t motivated to do anything, even going to local places near me. After a while I made a promise to myself, to quit my job, work parttime and enjoy life much much more. The moment I quit I started to travel for a while.
When looking on the internet for inspiration I noticed that it is really hard to find non-touristy places or anything without scrolling through long and boring articles that are mentioning something about locations. You want to eat or travel like those amazing pictures you see on the internet or magazines, but these don’t look all to real if you know what I mean.
After a while discovered the Local Guides Program and it was the right tool for everything I needed. First because it was really easy to discover new locations you never heard about, read reviews or looking at the pictures made by other Local Guides.
So I took snaps for fun and posted them, I left reviews of most food places I went. Something small had become really fun for me to do it and I don’t feel forced to do it. Now when having a lot of time I just randomly travel somewhere for fun, looking for new tastes or places. This all is made easier thanks to the The Local Guides Program.
The Local Guides Program has not only motivated me to share the experience to others, but also I hope to inspire them for their own adventure aswell.
