What does the Local Guides Program mean to me: bringing photography on a new level

I do travel a lot, I lived on 3 Continents. And with each trip a lot of photos of splendid beauty are accompanying me. So more than 20 years of photography froze vast majority of moments, places, people and emotions. And I just want to share best of those with other people through good quality photos, filled with ambience, representing unique atmosphere of the particular place and time. For many years Google Maps helped me to plan my trips, it helped me not to be lost in the old streets of the cities in Europe, find best place to stay, eat and see terrific landscapes. So this year, surprisingly and occasionally for me I decided to do something for the Google users too. My goal was to share my best photo journeys and include mini stories of each place to reveal all good memories. My editorial process of one review might take up to several hours, as I want the content to be of the highest quality and the pictures to be outstanding. Surprisingly for a short period of time I became a level 5 local guide, which is rewarding especially for artistic content like photography. So Google Local guide program is a great tool to boost photo skills, help other people to discover new places, not yet discovered. Or to show existing places under the new beautiful angle. It’s all fascinating, that technology nowadays can allow us this.

Ooo! Garmisch! Great place in the Alps.

Hi again @InaS , could you please help to resolve one question. Does Google confirm the application submitting via a confirmation Email? I have submitted the application, but haven’t received any Email confirmation. If you are not dealing with the submitting, could you please forward to someone at Google internally, who can help answering? Thanks a lot, Diana
