The main reason I love sharing on Google Maps is to make insider information accessible to everybody. I would like to give a hand to people who are new to a city I know very well.
No Time? No Excuse
While I love to show people around in my home town or places I now well, I often can’t do so. May it be because I am out of town or because I am busy at work or … I guess you know what I mean.
So sharing my favorite places on Google Maps gives me the opportunity to easily make my favorite places accessible to other people. While reviews are great in general I especially like the lists, which allows me to share certain genres of places with people. With the possibility of adding notes, this becomes almost like a customized hint list for my friends and strangers.
My Favorite Genres
As a passionate barkeeper I love to visit and assess bars wherever I go. I believe that a lot of people enjoy going for a good drink or beer in the evenings, so I hope my contributions help them.
On the other hand I love food, so whenever I eat in a restaurant I like to leave some hints for other visitors. And the best place to do so is of course Google Maps.
Last but not least I am passionate about outdoor activities like hiking, running cycling or swimming. While I found it hard to leave reviews on Google Maps for hikes (at which location would you leave it?), I realize right now that Local Guides Connect provides the ideal platform for this. So stay tuned for my next contribution, which might be about my favorite hikes in Switzerland.

I close this post with some impressions from a motorbike trip along the east coast of Taiwan.
