It all started with my need to find something when I was in Kerala, India. Kerala was altogether an unknown place for me, and I went there for family holidays, at that time Google Local Guides helped me a lot in finding best vegetarian food, cafes, local information etc. and that is how I got inclined towards using Google Local Guide and rather becoming one. Google has become a desktop icon in everyone’s life and one definitely search on google before planning his/her trip. Sharing a reliable source of information to all the travelers / nomads, google has helped a lot to everyone. I felt that when everyone is using it in each sphere of life, than why not to contribute towards it. So I also started posting about my experiences for the places where I went. It really felt great when I used to get emails from google that your review or photos have this much views, your review is making a difference. It gave me a sense of satisfaction that I am also helping people in some or the other way. What I like the most about Google Local Guides concept is it not just help the travelers in exploring places, cuisines and local information, but it also helps in increasing business of the people at different places and let them get more customers as well as the popularity which they really deserve.
