We Can Do It - Seniors Become Google Local Guides!

Calling all Seniors! Being a Local Guide is perfect for you! And if you are not a #senior citizen, spread the word, we need more seniors in the #localguides program! As a 61 year old myself, I find #localguides is perfect for a retired individual. It keeps you active and involved in your community. Also it gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of other seniors:

  • By creating senior specific lists. For example, places in your community that offer senior discounts, or free senior activities and classes.
  • By adding accessibility hashtags. Many seniors need to know where there is #handicapped parking and it is #wheelchairaccessible and with #ramps. Perhaps a caretaker would like to know if there is a #carolinescart.
  • By encouraging fitness through reviewing gyms that offer free Medicare membership and hashtagging them. For instance, #silversneakers or #silverandfit, as well as walking trails and more.
  • By encouraging a sense of community and accomplishment that comes with being a Google Local Guide #letsguide !

Seniors bring years of experience connecting with people. Here in this video, I detail my passion about the Local Guide Program, and encourage more seniors to join me as Local Guides!

What a great thread you’ve started there @lynneannec ! Kudos for the creativeness. :slight_smile: The idea is brilliant and the video too, it really made my day. I’ll definitely follow the topic, as I’m sure that really interesting stuff will end up being discussed here.

Sorry for the edit, but I almost forgot to wish you Happy 4th of July!

P.S.: Cool tattoo! :wink:

@lynneannec さん、こんばんは。

素晴らしい投稿をシェアして頂きありがとうございます。

これから先の時代を先回りして捉え、その先の時代に準備しておくことは大変有意義だと感じます。

ジュニアからシニアまで使い易いGooglemapを準備する必要があると感じます。

Googlemap for junior

Googlemap for senior

各個人個人の趣味嗜好が多様化するこれからの時代に備える必要があると感じます。

ありがとうございます。

@955HIRO Are you saying that there should be two separate maps, one for juniors, or young people, and one for seniors or older people? It may just be the translation. Or are you saying the map should reflect every ones needs, which I very much agree with! If we somehow had separate Maps, at 61, I think I would still use both. I don’t know a lot of young people who hike 9 hours a day, have so much body ink, or energy as I do! :rofl:
