What does the local guides program mean to me

Hi! I am Shiladitya Pramanick from Kolkata, India. First of all I want to thank Google for giving me a chance to apply for google local guide summit this year.

Actually I found the local guide program by chance. I love to travel around the world & to do photography. From my childhood I travel around so many places in India but I have not any travel experience in outside India. After getting my mobile phone after HS I started to upload my pictures and information about places in google map. Gradually this becomes a passion for me. I met so many people & gathered so many experiences to talk with them & love it. It’s a very good program as it is not possible to get each and every information from every corner of the world without local guide. It’s always helpful for the common people to get each and every information as well as it also gives an opportunity to those people who love to travel and a desire to get it as a profession.This link up and better the connectivity among people even in remote area which is also helpful for education and development. So, it has a multipurpose and essential impact on human life. That’s why I am glad to be a part of google local guide committee and eagerly want to joint this year’s google local guide summit for meeting with others in this passionate work for my inspiration, to gather experiences and to explore the world.
