Hi,
I am Prudhvi Shaganti I always like to introduce myself as a Google local guide. I was from a small village in South India and I am an international student in Canada I live in Toronto.
I was born and brought up in a small village where there was not even news paper but when I moved to Hyderabad city I had to go to examination hall and I wanted to visit the place one day before the exam but my brother told me that I could use Google maps to guide the route myself without asking anyone else with maps. You cannot imagine how I felt while using maps first time.
I was showed the route, which bus I should take and lot of things by google maps.
I took one photo of that exam hall and I got notification to add my photo on Google maps and that time I did know how to become a #local_guide.
And I decided to help google maps and have been contributing since that day. Now I am a level 7 local guide.
I added photos from India, Canada, Germany,UAE, Oman and USA at Niagara falls.
I always like to be an active contributor because google maps made my life easier in many many cases.
I don’t even hesitate to say that google maps is a god’s gift.
Prudhvi Shaganti,
Google Local Guide.
