Hi, I’m 56 years old and a fan of Local Guide. My passion is to travel the world knowing places and cultures. When I was young I made my own travel routes requesting maps to the embassies of the different countries and reviews of the main places to visit. So at 25 years in a single trip I traveled 26 countries. That today is supplemented by Google Maps, hence the importance of being a Local Guide. On a recent trip to Japan, I found that few people speak English, so Google maps was of fundamental help. It is also extremely important for personal security in countries where it is low, being able to send locations to acquaintances,
