I used to take notes of the places I wanted to eat at before I started on a travel. I planned from the very first meal of my first day to the last meal of my vacation days. Being this obsessed about eating and traveling, I was becoming the friend people make a call to get advice on where to eat. People around me started asking me to decide where they should visit and what dish they should try before visiting a certain city.
This was absolutely great. I had lists on my phone and I could share the names of the restaurants with my beloved friends. Then I realized I could share my experience with even more people by reviewing and posting on Google Maps. I could take photos of the dishes I loved and share them with the whole entire world. Not only I share my experience, I also follow other local guides footsteps and make awesome discoveries in terms of food & drinks and much more! Before I try a new restaurant, I always check Google Maps and see the restaurants ratings, look at the atmosphere and even see the photos of some dishes. I get to know what the people before me though of what they experienced.
In addition to uploading photos and writing reviews, I started to make lists on Google Maps which are available to everyone who wants access to them. I prepare lists like “The best breakfast places in Istanbul” or “The best burger restaurants in Amsterdam”.
I use Google Maps in a variety of purposes but the very primary one is to share the food I discover and try out what other people liked! My favorite topic is the best breakfast places and I try to find the best ones in Turkey by trying out a couple of them every week. I share them on Google Maps and review the place then I continue to find the next amazing breakfast place.
I hope everyone online can be involved in this Google Maps community so that we altogether can make this world a more delicious and better place!
