In January 2015, I left my job, i followed my boyfriend in the USA during 9 months and when I was there, I created my own travel blog: goodmorningusa.fr. My goals? Share my life, my opinions, my favorite places with other people!
After a few days, I started writing posts to talk about my journey, my vacations, my new life in St Louis, Missouri. I discovered Google Local Guide Program and started my reviews (with my old account).

Share with people still and always
When you are in your own city or when you travel, it is very important to find where to eat, where to sleep, which restaurants to choose, how to plan your visit and your day. It is for these reasons that I love reading reviews and sharing my opinions.
In addition, I think it is a good opportunity to encourage small businesses with good reviews and beautiful photos of their shops.
What I like the most? When I receive an email from Google telling me that my photos are viewed tens of thousands of times. It proves to me that my opinions are interesting and contribute to help everyone!

Write about places I love and recommend them!
The Google Local Guide program is a great addition to my travel blog. You want some examples of my reviews? With pleasure!
