For me, finding local guide was a discovery story, funny but quite memorable. I was lost while driving to a location i was not very familiar with, so i basically took out my phone and launched google maps. I parked my car, and in that frenzy I tried to search my location with my mobile so i can get help since there was no one around i could ask for directions.
While Google map came to the rescue, it didn’t give me the exact name for the street at my exact location but then while fiddling with my maps, i discovered i could help google and the rest of the world by uploading a picture at my location with exact name of that location since it was not properly reflected in Maps.
This was how my journey with Local Guides began and from then on i have been continually motivated to provide photos and reviews of places i visit especially when Google tells me those kind words, “Congratulations, your review helped people over 100 times! Millions of people rely on reviews like yours to learn what places are like”
Well, i got my first welcome message to Local Guides on July 19, 2017 and so far i am a level 6 and aiming for higher.
My LocalGuide Experience has been awesome!
