Why do we share stories?
Local Guide is more than just leaving reviews, posting photos, or sharing videos. This is a platform of experiences, a platform of journeys, and a platform of perspectives. Google Local Guides are more than just travelers because they become a medium through which people from all around the world can view and visit places in somebody else’s shoes.
The wonders of Google Maps go beyond the usual need for directions. It tells us not only how to get there but what to expect when we reach our destination. By providing tips from the fastest shortcut to thing you can find, Google Maps is beyond a navigation tool. It becomes an experience map of people from all parts of the planet.
The combined use of both the Google Maps and Local Guide not only threshes out experiences by everyone but also provides a different perspective of the world. As Local Guides, it becomes a shared responsibility for each user to share the uniqueness of their communities. Empower local businesses that other people would also appreciate. Show places which are a lot more accessible. Indicate safe spaces where you can be yourself.

Because in each story that a Local Guide shares is a better understanding of the world around us.
