My experience.

Almost always, a shared experience is better than a private one. Growing up incredibly shy, I've come to greatly appreciate when I put myself out there and meet new people. This facilitates that process and I couldn't be happier to have met the people I have on this platform. I love treating travelers to the parts of my cities I think are special and I relish the opportunity for other (typically) like minded people to show me what treasures lie off the beaten path.
