Digital world.. Digital guidance

I joined to Google Guides program in 2016, it was my first trip out of my country after the civil war broke in Yemen (2015).

Before that, I always used the common way, by asking people on the street face to face about directions and recommendations. Today in this digital world we are still using the same method (Asking), but this time we don’t ask people in street, we just ask local guides via Google Maps.

Since 2016, I’ve been traveling solo, I have no one, but Google Guides.

Recently in 2019, I traveled to five European countries, it was my first time visiting these countries. By using Google local guides, I was able to choose the right hotels and reach all recommended places to visit.

Since 2016 I keep adding places in my area, rating places, and responding to other people’s questions. I’m sure that there are people benefiting from my contributions, just like I am still benefiting from the contributions of others.
