What does the local guides program mean to me: It's freedom

I came across the local guide when I was passing through depression and life was hard for me. I was working in a place that I had no freedom to relax or do anything. I worked weekends as well. I also never had public holidays. So how I stumbled on Google guide was when I updated my phone and they asked for my review, when I uploaded on my Google drive after I went hiking at a particular location and I was like okay. The more I posted pictures and gave reviews the more I noticed I grew in my level. I felt glad that I was adding value and I was being recognised for my contribution and input. I felt appreciated for once for something I love doing, travelling and touring has always been a dream . Local guide makes it look like a fun fare. Share with the world your experience and let others connect. I recently joined the Abuja Google guide and I have learnt alot about . How to grow my level and what I need to do, recently I got my socks.

It felt like I won an award . Thank you google guide . I felt useless and worthless but you guys give me a reason to smile and travel again

I only hope my application is accepted
