As a Mexican living in a different country, Local Guides is my salvation, thanks to the amazing effort of the local (and non locals) contributors, I discovered the best mexican food around me, and more, now I can select the best places to eat, sleep and have fun here in Toronto without risks.
For me, Local Guides is more important than the floating door that saves Rose outside The Titanic, I survived in a different country, with a different language and also, different culture.
Now is my turn to contribute, as a contributor, I can share the best mexican food available in Toronto: https://goo.gl/maps/RqQZQvtHYaEePq3W8, the best place to attend a concert https://goo.gl/maps/bsZcB7hPeHSbma726 or maybe start a World Around Food Tour in Toronto: https://goo.gl/maps/ECgndZBqPKSeqLbw5
For me, this is the way to contribute with the local people, the local communities, and also supporting the small business with my honest reviews and the best pictures of their products. Local Guides saved me a lot of time, and now, I try to save some people with my contributions.
