What does the Local Guides Program mean to me?

Hi All,

I am An from Vietnam, the S-shape country of ASEAN.

I am super new in Local Stories here and I will try my best to share more, talk more, contribute more in here for more values from now on.

In my opinion, the Local Guides Program is for Community Values and for My Biggest Dream as well.

[I was enjoying coffee at Binh Quoi 1, Tourist Village in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam]

  1. Community Values
    . I must reveal that Google Map helps me a lot when I want to visit anywhere for trying foods and drinks or exploring sightseeing and services or looking for new places which I have never known. I really appreciate all things which Google has made for our world. People help each other through contributing on Google Map. This is the great tendency for sustainable development in the world nowadays.

A small funny sharing with you: I call Google as “Uncle Goo”, if someone ask me something which I don’t know, my signature is “Ask Uncle Goo please”.
. Especially, through Google Map, I could:

  • Contact with owners of cafes/restaurants/hospitality services and give feedbacks (whatever compliments are for continuing developing or complaints are for improving) under wherever I have already visited or not.

[Swiss Chuchi Restaurant where I have never visited before but the Owner answered me very friendly.]

[HĂ´tel des Arts Saigon - MGallery where I had bad experience there.]

  • Share thoughts and recommendations in English language about the places where we visited to help all people who come from all countries better understand and refer to.
  1. My biggest dream
    Working for Google is one of my super super big dream.
    From the early age, I had a chance to read about Google company. It was really impressive. I always wish I could become one of Google employees. I have dreamed about this working environment all the time.
    Therefore, I have tried all my best to make dream come true from self-improving my English, increasing my experience in working with many cultures over the world and even I want to study MBA at an International University too.
    Two years ago, my younger brother shared with me and encouraged me in Local Guide which he already joined in. I really felt happy like I found a treasure and I did the same as my brother did immediately. I got level 8 and it is even better than what he does now.
    And could you confirm that I am working as a Local Guide means that I am working for Google company? Also, my biggest dream came true already… :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

[My little brother and I were at Binh Quoi 1, tourist village in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.]

Finally, I would like to say big thanks to Local Guides Program and Local Guide Team who work a lot for many events, many readings, many writings and many supporting to the community.
For my side, whether or not you answer my above question, I will self-confirm that Local Guides Program already helped me contribute to community value bit by bit, day by day and make my dream come true. Hooray hooray!!!
Thanks all,

Wish for the best.
