I like to keep tracking of my life. Thus in my camera, there are a lot of food pictures.
Rather than leaving these photos silently in my Google photo albums, why don’t I share them with others? That’s the start of being a local guide.
Not only basic information about the shops, but I also share my personal experience. For example, most tourists in Tokyo must have been to Tokyo Disney Resort, but I bet most of them never try to use the after-6 pass.
Most of my sharing targets are around my life. Either a restaurant recommended by friends or a random shop I happen to pass by. From the local people’s point of view, I can share or introduce what I think worth sharing. Is it not cool? Someone you don’t know are reading your posts and what you wrote might actually change their decisions and opinions. And it’s very different from sharing from your personal SNS channel or blog. Because the number of your audiences will never go above Google Maps users.
Another good experience was that I wrote a comment about a yoga classroom and actually received their reply for thanking me share my opinions.
I will keep sharing my local-people view with people from all over the world!
