4. I love to share: Pictures! The saying is true, an image is equivalent to a thousand words. Following every image is the caption (the review). Although I use to see a glass half empty, I try to see the glass half full that way my review is fair provided by a kudos or a suggestion for opportunity.
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: It all started when I noticed that general business contained a few standard pictures. I thought to myself, “why not share from a unique perspective?” It not only aligned with my passion for photography but also challenged me to become a better writer. That’s when I knew my journey for Local Guides had just begun.
