Awakening of a man / Connect Live 2020

It’s All Started in Rome I was in a journey around the world started from December 2019 and its end in the last day of January from the new year 2020 my plan was to visit many countries as I can I have visited Turkey and Germany, Denmark, Georgia, Greece, France, Italy (Rome ), Lebanon – and the story is about how do I discover google Guides Program and started in it, so as a normal day of my journey I have to wake up from the bed in the morning and take my bag and taking my breakfast inside of the hotel and then search about some places to visit in Rome the nearest one to me was far from the hotel about one and a half-hour was the Colosseum also know the Flavian Amphitheatre

after reading about that place and my friend also suggested to me so my decision was to visit it and because I want to see as much as I can in Rome I decide to walk to it till I reach it and in the same time in my way see all the Historical Sites that Rome is famous with it because it’s everywhere in Rome and when I reach the colosseum I was surprised to how that place incredible in building the view was imaginary it’s my first-time visit Italy and it was unforgettable after taking many photos as I can from the outside of all side, hahaha, I decide to enter to inside, I told my self if the outside was like that imaginary how the inside could be right? that’s the same idea that I got back then so as normal you should bay a ticket for the entry for the most areas of the Historical Sites I walk to the Ticket Box and I Discover that I have forgotten my wallet with all my credit card my cash money all of it the hotel ? Yeh bad lack Happened, Guys, I was so excited at the begging it’s my first time being in Rome and I have only two days to stay and it’s have so many places to be visit, anyway normally for anyone he will get so upset about that and it’s what happens to me actually more than this so I decided to go back to the hotel to bring my wallet

and I realize that the time of the closing was 4:30 Pm and there’s no enough time for me to get back yeh fell sorry on my self ? but this is when the magic happens so here I discover that I can see all the inside from google maps itself by dragging the yellow man inside not just that there are a video and so many things that have been shared by other people

do you know how much that means to me at that moment of despair a lot I mean it a lot it’s changed the way that I look to the people they have been shared all this for help each other when we got stuck like this not only for me there are a million of people can’t offer that cost of traveling or it’s very hard for them to go there like me from Iraq this will allow them to see everything inside all places around the world for free, I never know that something like this can anyone do it from his phone with the internet back in the night I discovered that I can upload all the photo that I have to take on the google maps and became I guide so I decided to share all my information of photo and videos reviews of all places that I have visited with all people to help them and help me in the same time it was mean so much to me , when I see that my photo or reviwes help others and some one see it it’s was encourage me to keep going in that way

Through my action, I’m able now to help people and even my family for looking to the right place by reading some reviews about it and even help the small business to grow by adding to them’s the reviews that they deserve I’m really grateful for google maps that’s this little help we made will serve everybody around the world I’m very proud of myself and of you my friends to become one from this big community ,

by the end, this is what local Guides Program Mean to me
