In the last few years, I’ve explored a number of countries around Europe, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece (Crete only) and visited cities like Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Prague (Also Málaga coming next month!)
I had a great time snapping these photos and savouring the local food during these holidays but what I like the most is to share things on Google Maps about the place I currently live, England. I’ve done my fair share of exploring around this fascinating and mysterious land before settling at the busy capital on the Thames, London.
I enjoy being a Local Guide here because I feel like I can contribute to Google Maps in a positive way. I don’t believe in writing bad reviews, as I’d rather give constructive criticism so that businesses can improve themselves in the long run.
By adding photos, new points of interest and writing reviews, I hope to inspire other visitors and also give some small businesses more chances to be discovered. On most occasions, when on my lunch break, or when out with family and friends, I like to check Google Maps to find new amazing places to eat and then share my experience regarding that specific visit.
I get thrilled every time that I receive my monthly emails from the Local Guides community with the highlights of my contributions. The things is… I still have tons and tons of photos, places, and reviews to add but not enough time!
Better get going! Ciao!
