Hello local guides

Local guide program really changed my adventure life and made all my travelling simple,easy and comfortable without any fear.

It all started October 2017 when I was to travel for my national youth service corp orientation at ebonyi state in Nigeria. I was very scared then cus I was to travel alone and I never traveled there before.it was a two days journey from my place,so I decided to check the location on goggle map.after checking the location, I saw all the answers i needed about the place which other local guide posted and it really gave me confidence to travel without fear.I was very happy and satisfied with the answers.

On the day I stated my journey, I arrived at different states and a suddenly received a notification asking me questions about the place which I answered gladly.from there I begin to answer question on goggle local guide which really helped a lot of people that don’t know about the place.Am now a level 6 local guide and am looking forward to answering more questions in helping the goggle community.

WOW! That’s so amazing. This is really what it takes to be a great local guide. It’s all about being persistent, and consistently putting in more efforts and reaching the last mile so that people could get a glimpse of places they’ve never thought existed or would have existed before. But as the local guide’s community has got intellectuals like you, soon people will start to experience the other side of the world without getting to step their foot and could also help travellers or tourists have positive views about their dream destinations without facing difficulties.
