Why i love being a local guide? I like helping people by adding place’s, checking facts and adding missing information and reviews . Because of my contribution somewhere someone is benefited and vice versa. All credit goes to Google coz it have given me a platform to help people and has also helped me in getting information of various places yet to be explored by me.
How has it helped :
1 ) Adding place : whenever we add a place, Google users get more options in every category ( restaurants , shops , even roads etc.) & small business as well get to reach out to the world.
2 ) Address & location: adding addresses and location’s reduces the effort invested for searching for different place’s . One dosen’t have to actually roam the places to gain experiences, as i do it for them, eventually helping people save time. 
-
opening / closing timings & contact details : we can schedule our day or know about that place just with one call and book appointment accordingly.
-
providing missing information and checking for the fact : we can gain information about, working contact details, timings , exact location and whether or not, the place exist or is permanently closed.
-
reviews : A review can hlep a person gain better insights about a place adding to a peraonal review and feel about the targeted place.
By providing this information I’m helping someone out there and vice versa to gain a better insight about a place. As a local guide we are a team more over a family.I alone can’t do can’t reach out to each and every place or person in my countr or the city, whereas we all together can help and work as an unit. Lastly, I would like to thank each and every Local Guide and Google for helping me attain my goal’s as a local guide. Words by a proud Local guide.
My hobby : i like to swim  and sketch . Meeting new people , cooking and exploring new cuisines and cultures. 
Funny fact about me : i love to cook and have people try my cuisine. Contradicting my own statement id love it, if someone else does the same for me, because who dosen’t like being fed good food.
