Google Local Guides is both helpful to me, and gives me, and gives me a feeling of great joy.

Nowadays everyone is crazy about traveling, and so am I.
I love moving around traveling both locally and abroad. In my opinion, traveling is the best way of relaxation and recreation.
When I go somewhere I often take photos, so I could share them on Google Maps.
I like to inform other people as to which places are good and worthwhile to look up. I like to inspire people to visit them.
I like to take pictures to show other people the best places in the world.
To me, Local Guides means feelings of belonging to a great community.
I can offer good advice to other people when I write my opinions.
If somebody can’t afford to travel as much as they would like to, then I can broaden them minds and show them landmarks and cultures of famous places, and help them learn about customs and foreign languages.
When I look at Google Maps, I can see landmarks even if I cannot go there. (this time because of the COVID-19.)
I’ve realised that being a Local Guide means not only making the world accessible and discoverable, but it also means helping people find their way around the world, and helping them make a decision in advance regarding their preferred destination.
in addition, as a Local Guide I was looking for a way to help people. I found this opportunity about 4 years ago when Google Maps asked me to become a Local Guide.
I used to check the reviews every time I travelled to a new place, and I realized that the reviews were realistic and relevant, and they still are.

Hi @Emoke ,

Welcome to Connect!

Keep in mind that one of the requirements for Connect Live 2020 was to share your post on the Local Stories board. Just to let you know, I’ve moved your post there.
