I work as a travel blogger. Yes, this is my career and I love it. The mainly reason that I travel is to eat as a local. Avoiding touristic places, I go straight to the regional restaurantes and bars. And I always take a lot of pictures, that I use to make my own reviews and help other travellers.
How I know where to go? What time to go? When is better to avoid crowded places? To have an ideia of prices? To know what other people thinks about? Off course, I always use Google Locals. Addicted to maps since I was a kid, and a heavy usar of digital maps since Google Earth, I found on Google Locals a place that I belong, where I can found the best places to go, to eat, and then help another people to have the same or a better experience.
Iām a blue point in the map, going straight to the best reviewed places.
