This post was inspired from a sequence of recent events:
Why “travel like a local?”
A Local Guide has first hand, local knowledge of the places he goes to often than a travel agency who does not.
What are Local Guides?
As Local Guides, nobody has the local knowledge that we have about our places
Why not share our experiences, help others, and suggest what to see, do, and when to go?
We can do this in Travel Topic
In Local Guides Connect, there are many travel and advice-related posts that already exist. For those posts, we may only need to make a some additional edits, add more detailed information to have a more useful, helpful post.
How to write a great Travel post

Hi @ErmesT
Thanks for your amazing and very useful post! Loved your link to Venice and Palazzo Mora, which is a shining example embraced by "the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.” [Erica Jong].
Many thanks!

A big thanks to everyone. I'm so happy that you all like it, my thoughts was exactly to create a reference post, we are in the age of the maturity of Connect and we have a lot of people that provide beautiful contents, so some guidelines can help.
A special thanks to the hidden co-writer of this post, @KarenVChin
She did all the editing, transforming my idea in a beautiful post.
I'm happy that you like it.
Yes, palazzo Mora is definitely an interesting part of "the Biennale", and being invited there for a speech about Re-building ( @AntonellaGr of course was invited) was a great emotion.
I'm happy that you like the photos.
Hope that more photos will come, from LG inspired by this post.
Ermes
