I’ve just reached 15 million views on my Google Maps contributions!
It’s a humbling and joyful moment that I wanted to share with this amazing Local Guides community. What began as a simple habit of posting photos and reviews has turned into something truly meaningful — helping people find places, make choices, and explore with confidence.
Each Local Guide adds a little more light to the map we all share. Behind every photo, review, and edit lies time, care, and a sincere wish to help others — and that’s something truly worth appreciating.
While influencers elsewhere are often recognized for their content, the quiet yet powerful impact created by Local Guides deserves acknowledgment too. There should be a way for Google Maps to celebrate this dedication — through certificates, plaques, or letters of appreciation from Google itself. Our contributions genuinely make a difference, and that deserves to be valued.
Here’s to every Local Guide whose passion keeps the world connected — and to the journey that continues!
