How it all begun.
When I began contributing information on to the local guide, it was not to build anything up but just to be informative about places I have been to. As an online content creator you often have to go scout places to get content so that means relying on the information that Google Maps offers you or the information provided by other Local Guides. Sometimes though, you find the place that has nothing and you are the only one with the oportunity to share something about that, happened once while I went to a secluded beach. Not planned, I was scouting and then I stumble on to this great open area facing west, then I waited there for that perfect sunset shot.
Progress.
Ever since then I have provided information about other places, and I am enjoying it, it is not an everyday thing but long term it will help someone. This extends to even venues I’ve been to, restaurants and meeting places, as well as correcting that place on the map that is not there and more.
Looking forward to providing more content to the local guide as well as getting to see what other local guides have provided. A community of information.
