I started using google maps and decide to become a local guides when me and my friend were discussing where to eat for a birthday lunch. We wanted to explore a new place, but also afraid that the food is not gonna be good. But thankfully, through stars, photos, and reviews from other local guides, it helped us to decide to go to an Italian restaurant called Serafina in Seattle. We ended up having really amazing food and time. It makes me realize how important reviews are so from that point on I started to documented my experience wherever I go. I started taking photos of restaurants, reviewing public places, and even helping my mom when she was setting up a new office and needed a name on google maps. It’s amazing to see such a strong community that empowers each other. To this date, I still can’t believe that I have over 800,000 views on my photos. Hopefully I will be able to impact other people’s life like other local guides did to me.
