Hi all! 
I’m Rodrigo, I’m a software developer and I’m currently living in Cordoba, Argentina.
I guess being a local guide means a lot of different things to me, but there’s one that changed the way I see some aspects of my life. Or at least it represented a personal learning in some kind of way.
I used to collaborate on Google Maps in a general way - like adding opening hours, switching the place category to something where it fits better, or just adding regular photos of dishes. And I think those ones are very useful for everybody!
Back in 2013, my little brother had an accident and now his life depends on a wheelchair. He’s doing great, though!
Here’s a picture of my family and me during a trip to Bariloche.
I was in charge of planning a summer family trip - I’m always are 
- and I realized I started to pay attention to different things, things I never considered “priority”. The ‘prices on the menu’, ‘quality of service’ or ‘the atmosphere of the place’ went on a secondary plane. I suddenly became more focused on things like ‘if the place is accessible’, ‘if there’re parking lots exclusive for disabled people’, or ‘if the streets in the area were in good condition’.
I discovered that the local guide program means not only to contribute to what can be helpful to me but think about the others. Put myself in someone else shoes.
So I started to consult my brother things like “What can be considered a good accessibility ramp?”, or “What a hotel bathroom needs to be 100% accessible”? And I found things like this one:
So, for me, being part of the local guides community means going out of my comfort zone, being less selfish, and consider what can be helpful for others.
Hope everybody can find this inspiring!
