First of all I will introduce myself, I am 39 years old Lawyer by profession in Pakistan. l just became Local Guide few years ago after I learned it from Google. At, first I just did a simple and short intro as a Local Guide. Now I have contributed to the Google maps and discovered many things. This is my first post in LocalguidesConnect.
Finding different places in the world and give people useful and accurate information about those places my is my hobby. From this i feel satisfaction. Google helps people through local guide. Based on my experience, I provide people important information about things and places.
Being a Local Guide, it has made a huge impact on my life. It is an honored Service to my community. Knowing my fair share of the Local people of Pakistan I have noticed that most of them are not familiar with Google maps but many other people are familiar. I feel and realized people needed genuine reviews on places they many like to visit. So, I made it a basic point to give correct and honest reviews and ratings to all the places I have visited. Many times I have visited popular and famous public places I had not before and gave a review on their Services, wheelchair accessibility, parking and ratings. I added many places and pictures that needed on the map as well. It feels good to put the adventures energy into useful purpose.
After few months I noticed the impact this hobby of mine has made on people. It turned out my reviews and contributions helped the people as well. One restaurant manager personally contacted me and shared with me how my reviews have helped him get more attention and visitors.
Also, having been a part of Local Guides for some time now, I have realized now real a community it is. The regular monthly email updates from Google I received help me keep track of my progress. I Also get the chance to interact with Local Guides worldwide.
To me, the Local Guide has helped me bring city to the world. As Local Guides worldwide are bringing the world to everyone.
I have been a fan of the Saying " Do Good You Will Get Good "
