Being a local guide: Best thing ever!

Being a Local Guide is something I never thought I would become, however what motivated me to become one was the amazing contributions other people gave. The impact Google has made towards connecting people has always been phenomenal. Living in a country like Pakistan, I always see that the common folk especially living in the rural areas are very unsure about the city life and the places around them.

Seeing how Local Guides were connecting with each other and making an impact. I think the biggest contribution I have given is providing proper and informative reviews for the general public especially for those living in the rural areas or some one coming to take a tour of Pakistan and it’s respective areas.

Apart from that the Google Local Guides isn’t just a mere program or initiative to me. Personally, for me it’s a service to the world a platform where people from around the world can contribute to make the world a better place. Moreover, connect people and ensure a helping and positive environment. Being a part time student pursing Electrical Engineering, it is can be difficult however being involved in several communities such as GDG Cloud, GDGs and IEEE I truly think empowering people has a greater reward and service to humanity.

Apart from that here are my detailed reviews about the places so far. I try my best to ensure that there is image support to better facilitate the community.

A little bit about me:

My name is Usman Aslam and I am a Local Guide level 5 and apart from that I am a writer, researcher and strategist working on the latest technologies and making an impact. I have been heavily focused on building communities and empowering people for the last 3+ years. This enabled me operate as a marketeer, strategist, content developer, ambassador, director for many notable names such as IEEE Region 10, TEDx, Google Developers, United Nations Programmes and much more.

With that being said, I hope that I get to explore more, connect more and more importantly contribute MORE!
