I am Heta Shah, from Mumbai, India. This Local Guide program has helped me the most to express myself better without anyone making a judgement. I can write, review and post pictures without any fear. Honestly, it is the safest platform on the web right now according to me.
The Local Guide program is the place where I get to express whatever I feel is right. It is the place where I feel that there is value and importance given to my words/thinking and provided reviews. Constant encouragement from Google’s end to keep up my work as a Local Guide makes me feel a part of the Google family as well.
Being someone who stays in a particular vicinity, makes me someone of the highest knowledge of tthat place and Local guide is the perfect platform where I get to showcase my prowess of that knowledge and also aid the people who are new to that vicinity understand that place better.
The Local Guides program not just helps me do something else apart from my everyday monotony but also gives me a chance to feel more connected and belonged to the place where I live. This program helps me stand out and look at things from a different perspective.
With me being a local guide for years now, this program has become a habit for me. It has become a part of my daily life where I first review a place and then recommend it to others! Google’s Local Guide program has brought out a traveler, a foodie, a photographer and a writer in me. Together it has made me a unique personality and hence this program is very close to my heart.
