I travel a lot since I was a child. First by car with my parents, then by camper with my parents, and since 2015 by plane, by walk, by train, by ship, by car with my girlfriend and by myself.
I started to write about my travel on my blog in 2011.
That article was about the tour of France that I did with my parents and my sister with a camper during the summer of 2011.
That article reached an incredible amount of people considering that it was written in italian.
Then I decided that my tips could be useful also for people of other countries.
So I started to use a platform of review. However it was a standalone platform and I ended to not use it anymore.
Then Google presented Local Guide. I started to write all my tips and reviews on it. I also started to publish my photos and my reviews. I did it for two reasons:
-
I always liked to have only one place, one website, for all. In Google Maps I have everything for my travel, the roads, the POI, the reviews, the photos, the navigation, and many other infos in real time too. And most of all I have a maps that show me every places I visited… and I really like this!
-
I like to know that someone found my reviews and my tips useful. So I started to review places giving also some useful tips when no one have mentioned them yet.
I think that this is the secret of Local Guide. Use it, for yourself and for others.
