Hi there!
I’m Elena living in St. Petersburg, Russia. I spent few years to study tourism, culture and arts. During that time I travelled enoug to gain experience as a person who knows how to save money on travels. Considering all this, I am supposed to be able to give tips about travelling and tell about cultural elements.
Being addicted to food and cultural events, I always search for opportunity to spend my time enjoying, especially in vacation time. In this case Google Maps comes to the rescue me. My travel buddies and I use Google Maps to find some helpful information about new place we visit, such as diner to try local food, an interesting location with breathtaking view or bar with live music, etc. The best part is that we get it from the locals. That’s a reason why I like sharing on Google Maps and why I appreciate Local Guides’ contribute to tourists’ and my own travel experience. Numerous new places of service and entertainment industries are opened a day so it’s becoming quite hard to choose something worthwhile that will make good memories for you about spending time overseas or just in a new place. As passionate person is keen on exploring something new, a traveler wants to see something besides typical tourist places to feel the spirit of local way of living. At that point, locals’ advice might ease your searching for interesting places and make your staying more unforgettable.
To sum up, I am pretty sure that our sharing on Google Maps must be beneficial not only to tell about our taste, passions and favourite places, but also to help someone fall in love with your city and culture.
P.S. See you in St. Petersburg!
