Be Cool in a Strange New Place: Local Guides Changed the Way People Explore the World

I was once someone who never really traveled out of town. I believe many of you too. But you don’t know what’s going to happen. You might move to a different city, you might get a job that makes you travel a lot, or you might go study abroad far away from home.

I was once really scared of travelling far from home, let alone going solo on a trip. I never got on a plane until I turned 17. I believe many of you too. But you don’t know what’s going to happen. You might want to visit your loved ones in a faraway land or you might get a chance to attend an event abroad.

Local Guides, me, you, us, through Google Maps, have made all the closed doors open for so many people, like me, like you. Because of Local Guides, you will never get lost in a strange city you’re visiting, you don’t have to worry about every single thing from getting to know all the facilities a transportation hub has, or if the restaurant serves halal food or not, or if wheelchair parking or seating is available. Literally everything you can think of, you name it.

Local Guides have helped me to find these, some of the best foods I’ve ever had in some of 50+ cities in Indonesia I’ve visited:


And Local Guides have helped me to find many many amazing places! You, Local Guides made it happen for me, and we, as a Local Guides can make it happen for many many people out there. Simple things we do on Google Maps like give ratings, honest reviews, answer questions, edit/add place, report, or anything else might be a big thing for other people.
