What does the Local Guides program mean to you?
All started with goggle maps. As my wife and I change our flip phone to the smartphone, we start to take the advantage that the modern era of communications offer us. As a couple in our mid’s 50. We start using Google Maps to look for the review on planning our new adventures trips. Once we start to see and read the easy way to follow the other local guide experience, my wife and I accept the challenge to become local guides. As a local guide we like to express and share our experience in most of our outside dinner and recent travels. We feel our self with the commitment to share to other couples the level of customer service, attention, level of enjoyment of the placed that we are visiting now. .
Three year ago we do a Road trip from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Tucson, Arizona. On that time ,we use all the reviews that others Local guides submitt in the page. That was very helpful in the moment to decide where to stay and eat.
But our time, came in, our last trip to Cancun, we really enjoy making review on each place they make our visit really appreciated. Hope our reviews, help other to understand and enjoy the culture and adventure that We live in our trip. A lot of our pictures in Mexico, have more than 2,000 views.
Last year, our adventures take us to Hawaii, once again as a Local Guide, I try to post as many photos as possible from the placed visit. My review and photos for the Haleakala National Park, are over 11,000 views.
Both of us like the competition of getting the points to increase our level. Its makes us feel that this platform is not only for the younger people. As a recent member of connect I like to share and learn the culture of all others Local guides . As a Goal, this year I will focus to improve my photos and reviews by visiting my own Puerto Rico. There’s a lot places and culture to share in the Island. Finally , as a local guide, I like to others live the advantage of read real people like myself , non advertising reviews and photos. On connect, Google is giving me the opportunity to enjoy the reality of global friendship. Hope to see you next October in California, Google Connect Live 2020. Thanks.
