The Local Guides program is a way to connect with people. I think communication is what moves the world. People cannot be islands. I think this program is great because you can help people through reviews or pictures and also when you want to discover new places or experience something new.
By checking out lists and reviews people can get an idea if the place they are interested, is something they really want to do and what they expect or rather, the visit is not worth it.
Connecting with people that are interested in the same thing, in this case, helping others by changing hours of operation or change of addresses to businesses can be something that can change your life the day, you are looking for a service in a time constraint.
In my daily life, I feel I am one that likes to help others, and helping people virtually makes me feel good too.
A like or a reply to my changes in a place online make me feel that I am helping someone even if I don’t know the person.
