My name is Omar Foudeh and I am a banker with ten years of Banking experience. I currently live in Amman, Jordan and I love to experience new places and hot spots whether in the old or the new parts of Jordan. I am also an avid traveler having been to England, Italy, Canada, Holland, Spain, France, Greece, Iraq, Belgium, UAE, US, Hungary, Cyprus and Lebanon with many more planned for as part of my globetrotting journey. Google Guide / Maps has been (and still is) an essential tool for both my local and foreign trip planning where it has never failed in providing me with accurate information about a destination / place. The accuracy and added value of the guide is all in thanks to allowing every user to contribute their content, describe their experiences by providing reviews and insights with answers, sharing photographs, updating information with place edits, add missing places, or verify information by checking facts. Every Local Guide does this work out of passion and interest resulting in relevant and useful information available at every users’ finger tips - this fact has inspired me to gradually but surely start to make my own contributions as a Google Guide with the thought of being helpful through adding to the ever growing data bringing me satisfaction. Everyone wants to travel and Google Local Guides simply helps others to get accurate information about a destination by sharing the experience, for example:
Suddenly, you got to go to a new place to get your work done and you don’t have any one in that city or you want to try out and find a new restaurant. What is the first thing you will do … you open Google Maps >> find out the address / check out the restaurants in your area>> check directions to that place / check out the reviews, menu / check photos>> get your work done / of needed reserve a table.
I’ve also got my friends on board by letting them try out Google Guide (the not so tech savvy ones) and I can safely say that they are now avid users of the platform.
Google guide made my life easier and that why I am in love with it.
