Becoming part of Google

Hello, my name is Kate. Well… My family is using Google maps for about 3 years. Once there came a question if I want to be a local guide. I knew nothing about it, but I answered “yes”. My thoughts were about why not to help people a little.

I can’t say, that I added information very often. Sometimes a pair of photos, sometimes an answer.

Not long ago I’ve got a letter about the meeting of local guides. I was really surprised. Then I thought that I have no chance. I’m writing this all just because of other letter. There was written that I’m between 1percent of best Google local guides of Samara. And It is a big city))

I really don’t know how it happened. This all was not difficult for me. Till February most of photos, that I added to maps,were from Samara and around, but then I’ve got countless views of Nha Trang. It was my first foreign trip. I believe, not the last.

I’m really proud of becoming part of Google.
