Why being a local guide so special to me?

Hello Everyone, I am Abhilash Shrivastava. I am local guide of level 5 from India. Humanity has evolved from the traditional age of using maps either on paper or based on past experience of their grandpa to a new digital age of google maps. A major lacking in the traditional age technology of paper maps was that they does not cater to your choice but now that is possible with the google maps. We all know that India is a very vibrant and diverse country whose constitution itself mention it as an indestructible union of destructible states, and the place where I come from, i.e., Raipur, Chhattisgarh itself have almost 500 different culture and thus minimum of 500 different cuisine. What could be better than getting a chance to taste them all without missing a single one of them? But, for this we to categorize it and this will not only help me to explore the culture but also help the local shop and vendors to achieve a mark with what they are best at doing and that is what I have been doing from the past couple of years to bond people over food because people who eat together, Stay together.
