The Local Guide program means to me basically just the place where I can share some information about a specific place that I may know, and other people maybe don’t, this program is very important to me and why not, all the people around the world because this is one of the easier way to share the knowledge about places that some people may looking for through Google Maps for (traveling, eating, shopping, etc.), in my case I can say that this is also a way to show the world my city, country or just any place that I would visit.
Helping back to the community through our contributions is one of the most gratifying things that as a Local Guide I have received in this whole journey since the day that I started not that long ago.
I started using Google Maps to search for relevant information about places I would visit, it was then that I got to know of the Local Guide Program and I just immediately become part of it. During my first days contributing, my numbers began to grow, from there I began to receive emails such as from the number of people who had seen my reviews, the photos I posted, etc., (it was one of those emails where I received the invitation email for the Connect Live Event 2020 by the way) it was there when I understood that what I was doing was important and were people out there who really cared about what I was doing, and from that moment I fell more in love with what I am doing as a Local Guide.
Thanks to the Local Guide Program and thanks to Google for allowing me to participate to this historic Event… All the love and luck from The Dominican Republic to all the Local Guides around the world…hope to see you all soon.
