How Local Guide program impacted my life
Hi everybody,
My name is Thai, from Hanoi Vietnam, Local guide level 10. Since childhood, I have always been interested in traveling and exploring the mysteries around the world. For me, discovering the mysteries of nature and history has always been a fascinating and interesting challenge. One of the important travel companions are maps and later maps applications. I realize that Google’s applications are great compared to similar applications because it has a lot of utility and friendliness. So for more than 6 years I have been using Google Maps on every trip and it has been really helpful to explore strange and desolate places. Landscape photography is my passion, so with the Local Guide I had the opportunity to share over 20,000 photos, taken in over 40 countries with hundreds of attractive destinations. I am really happy to hear that there have been more than a million views and interesting comments. I find my work meaningful when it interests many people.
When I joined Local Guide program I had opportunity to make friends with many people around the world and we could change our experiences about traveling, cultures and traditional menu.
In addition, as a Local Guide, I also helped a few businesses sign up on Google Maps as well as wrote some reviews that help inform the people who are interested in.
I see that now with the Local Guide, Google has built a highly social forum and it is not only a normal navigation application but also allows its members to connect and share a lot of information that reflects every aspect of society from dining, entertainment to business and tourism. I am very proud to be a part of the Local Guide and look forward to making a lot of contributions in the future, as well as introducing my family and friends to join this program.
Have a nice day
