The local guide program has been a game for me for a long time. I started responding to questions without even know why and how. I remember one day I made a mistake by accepting that a local restaurant had a wheelchair and looked back to edit and I was not able to do it.
Some months ago, I started receiving feedbacks from owners of restaurants and places visited that’s when I started to understand that the LOCAL GUIDE PROGRAM is more serious and bigger than I expected it to be and thought to myself, I am the best in posting.
Imagine, by going through my posts, I found even photos that I posted accidentally but it was fanny somehow in a restaurant where I like to be when I want to eat pork or fish. the photo shows me, my wife and my cousin posing for a selfie before a big glass of water with alive fishes.
I tell you, I didn’t know that the photo was posted.

In the last two weeks, I received an email saying that as a level 5 local guide I can apply to meet other local guides in Connect live 2020 in California, I dug more and find more about local guide program like tutorials, examples of high-level local guides that can help understand how to post information that can influence people 's choices around the world. That’s when I started visiting accounts of other local guides and surprisingly, I was not the best in posting because I have never posted a good photo at all.
I have opportunities to post and help travelers to get good information about places in and out of my country because I am traveling every single day of my entire life since 2010. I need from now going forward to post photos as many as I can so that I will raise my points, guide people and have fanny with local guides around the world. But also I would wish to me other local guides to learn more about the use of google local guides program efficiently and know how best I can be a local guide.
I will be very happy to organize a meet up in my country, however, I will need someone to guide how and what to do with it.
