Local Guide program means a whole different world to me.
I usually try to get all possible details before visiting/exploring any new place.The details on Google Maps and other sources is very helpful.
In the same way i also try to add all possible details to each and every place i visit in different perspectives.
The perspectives can be Solo, Family, Friends, Couples etc etc.
Even if 1 out of 10 people find my reviews helpful i would be more than happy.
To Summarize, local guides program has changed my way of observing a place and providing a review about the same.
