Yay! I earned a badge.
By the way, has anyone actually gotten anything out of being a local guide? Supposedly they partner with companies or something, but I have 5.4k views, and I haven’t earned anything other than new levels, points, and badges.

Hi @princessacademyann ,
Welcome to Connect and congratulations for your achievement! Regarding your question: from time to time we offer Local Guides in particular regions some reward as a token of appreciation for contributing great content and helping others. To know more about the topic, you can read the following article: Question about a Local Guides reward email? Read this first.
Millions of Local Guides from all over the world share their knowledge, photos, reviews, etc. for the pleasure of helping others find good local places, support small businesses, and sometimes they even help people to get vital information. You can read more here: Why be a Local Guide?
Since you joined recently, I suggest you read more information about the forum in Your guide to Connect. 
No not ever but gave away a lot of information to the masses on secret beautiful locations.
there is nothing that works better than local knowledge in your locality. PRICELESS
princess Keep it up.
