I can’t describe how much I love being a Local Guide! I find it fascinating that we have this amazing platform that we can all edit, add to, share, and use! My favorite part about participating in this online gathering is that people are doing it for fun! We are all coming together and adding this amazing and valuable information to this online map database for each other. Leaving reviews, photos, adding business, removing closed ones, it’s all SO COOL! The knowledge that I am helping this online community to stay up to date and improve this platform for anyone who would like to use it is just mind blowing. I love helping people, and when I snap a few photos and post them online, I know that I am helping. What’s even cooler is how big of an impact I see that I am making. My photos have been viewed over 187,000 times?! WOW!!! It’s also a lot of fun to go out into my town and check the map as I am passing businesses or places of interest to see who could use a few more pictures, sometimes I like to make a day of it!
