There’s lots of reasons to like being a local guide, people share them here everyday, so different experience, locations and favorite things to do on maps.
I just realized that one of my favorite reasons why I became local guide is sharing love with the people and a location owners. Most of things I add is long (“useful” as google calls them) reviews on places I’ve been to. Many of them are five stars. It’s so pleasant when you get that letter about owner saw your review and answered!
Of course, it’s not the only way to say thank you, you can leave a good gratuity or say it in the place personally. But you can be shy, you’re not the only who left some money, but no everyone remind good experience after visiting and that your thankful review does. I love it! And who knows, may be after reading your text someone can decide to go there and fall in love with it too!
Share your love with the world!
