What does the Local Guides program mean to me?

My mom always was telling me never give in my dream, she called me Oksana because it meant “Someone who loves travelling!” and you know, she is right. I love discovering new places, meet new people and don’t feel any border. When you are on the plane, the best thing there no border between anything! And I like to feel this community in the Google Maps, anyone can add relevant fact, photo or anything to help make decision go there or not, also can ask about it.

I love to help people, being someone’s eyes when they can’t travel for any reason, isn’t the best thing I can do?

Thanks for making this service, we are making this world more visible:)
