The most interesting thing I've done as a Local Guide?

It was the most interesting, but very easy thing. But I need to start from the very beginning. I travel a lot through the world and visit different countries. I make photos and videos and post them to Google maps. I’ve been to Cameroon and Indonesia, Nicaragua and Mongolia, Niger and Romania and many more. But one day I just went to the shop with my daughter and she asked me to let her play with other children on the playground in front of the shop. I set on a bench near the playground, took my phone and made few photos of the shopo called Miratorg. While waiting for my child playing I just posted these photos to google local places. And forgot about that…

What happened then? One of these photos became the most popular of all that I made. So you can travell all over the world, or you can make pictures near your home. No matter, where you are, Google give you the possibility to become a local star! So it was really amazing to understand that.

If you think that this story is not about you, just take your smartphone and make a photo of the places around you. Post them to Google and wait for a while. And in few days or weeks or months you will be suprised!
P.S. One advise: more photos - more suprises:)
