- Now it’s being 3 years of association as a member of Google Local Guides Community that begins in warm evening of 2017 during a travelling trip about 400 km away from my hometown. Thereafter I felt this program imparts positivity in my life. I am now a days level 6 Google guide and helping people one way or other both in Pakistan and USA. To be precise, I can say Local Guides means encouragement, helping hands with generosity, wonderful interactions with people and new friends in the list from across the globe.
- Before joining Local Guides platform, I relays solely on social media for sharing my passion and love of exploring new places, living and moving in multicultural diverse environment, capturing the beautiful moments as memories with my lens and enjoying tasting local foods. After my engagement with Google Guides, first thing I noted is that I am good photographer with number of my photos getting way to large views I used to have. Such huge appreciation and view statistics multiplies my passion towards travelling and photography. I hope to inspire people for visiting these places too that I shared on Guides community. I would like to share few of most viewed photographs.

- I also like to share some of my clicks with you people. Mostly I love to photograph nature and where there is blend of nature with man made structures. Also got lot of experience from other Google Guides regarding different aspects of photography for enhancing my skills.

- Recently, I myself got plenty of help and guidance from other Local Guides for searching best general surgeon and dental doctor in my hometown Islamabad (Pakistan). I undergone a minor surgery of cyst near my ear lobe last month and dental scaling, for which i select hospital and doctors on the basis of reviews by Local Guides and trust me 100% satisfied with the treatment and must be thankful for local guides to provide best and sincere review.
- As a local guide by writing unbiased and honest comments about places to businesses, it is also a type of community servicing. I am more than happy when I am see my reviews that are based on personal experiences are helping out others with appreciation and people are trusting them too. Usually wrote very precise and short reviews so, someone can get the required information in split second. Among many of responded and liked reviews 2 reviews by business owners are very positive and also got offer of discounted stuff from one of them.
