What I really like sharing on Google Maps are things and places that offer the most value to their visitors, guests, clients. The best example is also one of the first contributions that I did on Google Maps and that was a very small Restaurant located in Bali in Denpasar, “The Luron” on a small street where no one was passing by.
So the food was delicious, the most traditional and local cousine that we could ever experience in Indonesia.
But the place was just starting and not able to spend on marketing or not really capable to do a good one. So I felt immediately the motivation to help, and there were no more tools available than Google Maps.
After that, it becomes like my job or my duty. Sharing and documenting everything that I consider has real value. I don´t go out and shoot everything that I found on the street, “there is a big difference between people who loves what they do and who don´t”. So I do not want new visitors to a city miss or skip the best and cool places.
Since I´m a kind of Nomadic person, travelling for the last 6 years, been a local guide is a bit harder for me, so I share what I find on my way and what others have shared before has become my TODO LIST when visiting a new city/country.
