I'm celebrating 8 years of Google Maps contributions as a Local Guide! 🌍🎉

Today marks 8 incredible years as a Local Guide, and I’m so excited to share my journey with you all! Over these years, I’ve shared 397 reviews and uploaded 1,305 photos, with my contributions reaching an amazing 11 million views. A huge part of my contributions is focused on reviewing restaurants, a passion of mine. I love helping people find good places for food by providing detailed reviews about the facilities available, taste, pocket-friendliness, staff behavior, and even highlighting whether the restaurant is charging above the MRP—raising my voice against unfair practices when necessary.

I’m proud to be in the top 1% of contributors for restaurant reviews on Google Maps, and I find immense satisfaction in helping others make informed choices. Sharing my experiences helps people discover delicious food and enjoyable dining experiences across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

Over the past 8 years, being part of this incredible community has also helped me grow. My fellow Local Guides have taught me how to improve my posts and be more helpful on the platform. As a Level 8 Local Guide, I’ve earned several badges, including:

  • Master Reviewer
  • Master Photographer
  • Expert Fact Finder
  • Expert Trailblazer
  • New Contributor
  • Novice Director

My all-time photo views stand at 5.1 million, with my total contributions reaching 11 million views!

One standout memory has to be my visit to Roast & Toast. The experience went beyond just food—it was a blend of ambiance and flavor. You may check out my review at: Review of Roast & Toast, Gandhinagar.
