To me local guide mean to share my experience, so before when I was going to some place I was asking people to guide me or sometime I was getting the address which was very difficult for me to find it, sometime I was coming and going but was difficult find the exact place.
Most of the time my brother advised me to hire local guide in vacation.
So I was just thinking about platform to help people to share their experience so when I got my new android phone I saw that google already started platform like google local guide I was happy for that.
Up to now I visited more than 700 different cities and I sheared my experience with others, and now I am really happy so I really helped me and local guide saved my money my time.
