Being a Local Guide is much more than pointing people in the right direction, I like to believe that it is all about helping people get the best experiences in a location where you have to take time to explore and become adept with.
Sure, we can have anyone put up a sign that says it’s okay to visit a particular restaurant or a bar, but how can we guaranty that they will be able to enjoy themselves and truly appreciate the beauty of that area?
As a Local Guide that was updated information and given reviews of all the places I have been to, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing people happy with the places they chose because of the review I have added for them. The Local Guide program is one way for me to help people know and visit the best places in town. Obviously, I am a socially awkward young lad with great taste in food and hangout spots, so how do I help my community know about these places when I can not have a conversation with them? Of course, I simply become a Google Local Guide!
