I start the picture with this photo, taken from google maps of the front view of one of my favored burger shops in São Paulo - Brazil. And this has a story to told about my participation on google as being a local guide. I helped people to discover this and many other hidden places to eat in São Paulo because, well, I love to eat and I love to share what I find with other people around the globe. When I looked for this place on google maps it was missing phone, opening hours and even information about what they were selling there. This helped people find this small burger shop (and it’s delicious in fact) and also helped the owner to get more clients and grow it’s business. I didn’t earned a single cent with this and I wasn’t intended to earn nothing at all, my happiness it to see that people are loving to eat there and the owner is also happy that people is coming to eat and he even added a delivery option to serve people far from where he’s located. That’s what being a local guide is for me. To help people, to discover places where only a local guide could go and say what this place has to offer. A new park, a new shop, a new place to eat, or a place to have fun! That’s what life is about, helping and being helped!
