Being a local guide is an accomplishment I’m very proud of, being able to say that you’re a part of google maps organization should make any person have the feeling of satisfaction.
I started my local guide journey back in 2016, but it took me a while to take off and really understand the importance of a local guide. I got curious, like almost every other fellow local guide, when a notification popped out on my cell phone screen asking me about my time in a certain place. I took my time to write an honest review then I didn’t think about it for long.
My motivation
What really motivated me to continue and contribute more in my area were the emails I received from Google local guides and Google maps.
“Thank You for Guiding Others.”
“Your review is making a difference.”
“Thanks for contributing.”
These kinds of phrases really impacted me in a very good way. Whenever I receive an email telling me how I make a difference in my area, I know that the hard work I put does not go in vain and it actually helps others.
Realizing that you are a part of a global family of local guides makes you a very hardworking and honest individual who’s trying to attend his responsibilities towards his area and try to improve more and more your area on the map.
