How a became a Local Guide

My name is Gihan and I am a person that loves traveling. Almost Every holiday I used to go somewhere that I can enjoy with my friends. Eventually, I became a person who knows the most attractive traveling destinations. Therefore my friends intended to ask from me before they plan any journey. So I’m passionate about providing and recommending them a list of good places.

Earlier I used to take some pictures when I traveling and keep it on my phone. Whenever my friends ask about any place that I travel. I was sending it via WhatsApp or Email.

Two-three years back I came to know that, as a local guide We also can upload photos to the google maps, recommend places, comment and add missing information about the places. I was surprised. Google has created a platform for me that I have been doing in manually. This was perfectly fit with me. I thought now I can help not only my friends but also to other billions of people who use google maps. That day onward I started to contribute to the google maps.

Wherever I go, I’m updating the details, Photos and about the place thinking that this will help someone in someday. I expected nothing from doing this. Subsequently, I received an email that tells me my photos have been viewed by millions of people. That was motivated me to be a Level 8 Local Guide as of now.
