Well, i still keep in my mind the first feeling when i received the email from Google map with the tittle: “Congratulation! Your photos have reached a new record on Google!”
I was a bit astonished at this email. I asked myself “What was i doing? Why Google map congratulate me”. Honestly, the first time posted the photos i had no idea about Local guide". Then i checked that email and i felt so amazing, i cant believe the photo i just posted a few days ago and there was 500 people seen it"
That was the photos i took in my first trip in my life and it was so mean to me, because the first trip was paid by myself, the first trip i travel by plane, the first trip with one of my best friend… So i took many pics at the famous destination. And i did not think that the photos i posted in google map was interested so much by travelers.
And that was my first motivation keep me contribute my photos, reviews after trips.
Now, after almost 2 years, my reviews received 12, 884 views, my photos received 116,129 views. For me, that is the incredible numbers!
At the present, i am in Level 6, for sure i will move on and i am proud of be a local guide in Viet Nam.
Thank to Google Map, i have a chance to share my fancy place, help people picture the place they will visit. Certainly, Local Guide is likely a community for everyone and i will always be an active member in our community.
