"Improve quality of life" this is why I am a local guide and it is my goal in my participation

My name is Ahmed Kasem, I am from Egypt, and living between Saudi Arabia and Turkey. I am Trauma Neurosurgeon in Saudi Arabia.

I am at level 7.

It is pretty good and amazing chance to participate in this amazing community.

Improving quality of life is always my interest.

With better description we can shorten the distance, take decision and make our choices faster , we save our valuable time, our time is our life.

My participation in google map started after I invited my family to the dinner in a restaurant about 1.5 hour drive from my home and when we arrived it was permanently closed, really it was a bad moment and we had to search for another place to eat.

Since that moment I started to share my findings and my reviews for the places I visit. And I am trying to put it in a neutral opinion not to be extremely positive or extremely negative, so it can help people to decide what they want and how to choose in a confident way

.

First time when I moved from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, I was depending on google map as a guide for my ways and to find out the area I am living in, then I started to participate. Since that time I am searching for everything I need on Google map, even recently when I moved to Turkey with the barrier of language I could find my way for everything and now I could use it in a professional way that make my life easy

I have this conversation before with my family and friends about why you are wasting your time in this thing, even when I show them my contributions and numbers of views and like, I tell them it is something I like it to help others.

I would like to attend the meeting to see people around the world, to share our knowledge and practice and to enhance my knowledge and attitude to help the community in a professional way.

I was very busy during the last few months preparing for my exam, and few days ago the result appeared as passing with high score, this make me more excited about attending the meeting and to participate more to the community to improve quality of life.

Dear Ahmed,

I hope you can answer my question about the measures that you consider while rating or writing a review about a place?

And I find it very interesting that an Egyptian surgeon living in Turkey and working in Saudi Arabia it’s like a multinational guide :grin::sunglasses:

Hello Ahmed. It is interesting to find a neurosurgeon keen to be a local guide. What really I appreciate about your post is your trials to make neutral comments about places you visit. Exaggerated comments are always unsuitable to get a fair idea about places as they are mainly related to personal and emotional reactions. Thank you for your interest, precious time and sincere willing to help people to improve their life.

Thank you for your comment @AyaHamdy

actually when I am rating or reviewing a place I have many consideration according the nature of the place.

for food place, Quality of the food and the kindness of the staff is my priority and the price value for the service is next step.

for hotels, cleanness of the place and kindness of the staff is my priority, next is the price.

Hi @DinaSultan

Regarding this issue of extreme reviews by negative or positive, you can find out that these comments always posted by users with small numbers of reviews.

and thiscan lead us to think that this person either with or against that place.

so to take a good informative review, you need to look for the guide who post it and how many posts he has.

Hi Dr.ahmed

Thanks for this helpful post and the neutral unbiased review

I hope everyone is doing the same of showing the merits and disadvantages of the places, not just giving numbers of stars without an appropriate explanation for this
