First of all I really like Google company and all the stuff U do, and especially the way U combine all algoritsms into common cooperating system, although i basically dislike global companies, especially IT and data oriented (for example Facebook - i have a lot of respect for it as a business created "from basement to billion USD company, nevertheless i have personal negative feelings toward it, I really like what is Tesla combined with SpaceX and Solar doing - they do a huge money but also do something bigger for Humanity and that is similar with Google in my opinion). If I was IT specialist i would desire to work for Google but i chose business way in my life and being Google Local Guides participant is my possibility to somehow participate in this worldwide project which helps People live their lives more comfortable way, exploiting possibilities of new technologies. Also it is little bit of an RPG game for me 
which i was a big fan during my childhood and rising my profile reminds me of that. Also - I’ve read some business trainer advise to read and write as much as possible in order to develop yourself and progres => writing in Google Local Guides program is my possibility to write and also write in English, which is price less because I am Polish, living in Ukraine without everyday possibility if conversation in English and trying to do everything not to get it become too rusty. Summaring - it really became one of my hobbies, change my lifestyle a little bit (i always remember to do some photos for my review while visiting new places ;)) and I honestly enjoy being small part of big Google thing.
