I love exploring new places, meeting new people, tasting different types of cuisines and clicking pictures. As a local guide I share these stuff in google maps, by rating a place, adding a review and uploading pictures. It really feels happy that these things help a lot of people. This motivates me to contribute even more by answering questions and sharing my knowledge.
This community really helps a lot of travelers like me to get enough knowledge before visiting a new place. It also give confidence and support to solo travelers. Travelers don’t need to worry about any questions they have, local guides are always there to answer them and suggest better options. We can also add places and facts that lot of the other people may not know about. It help us to explore new things and gives exposure to the things which others may not know. It is really a great initiative by google and I am proud to be a part of it.
My favorite part is answering questions about accessibility and uploading pictures. I am new to it so I have contributes around 80 photos and answered 331 questions. But looking forward to contribute even more in future.
Cheers to all local guides!!
