The Local Guides program gives me a great opportunity to help many people and open new horizons. Since 2016, I began to add new content to Google maps. I never accept the world for what it appears to be. I always Dare to see it for what it could be. New photos, places, reviews, added by me and the community of local guides, make the map more saturated and colorful. Through participation in the program, I began to walk more and lead a healthy lifestyle. Now, when I see a new cafe or monument, I try to photograph it in order to share it with the whole world. Everything that I add to the map helps both locals and tourists.
With the help of local guides, I always look at reviews on Google maps before visiting a new place. It saves a lot of time and money. And the lists of establishments and interesting places open up new facets of the familiar world. The most memorable event for me is the photo of the “Elit” dental clinic. Today this photo has over 35,000 views**.** I am sure that over 35 thousand views helped “Elit” get new customers.
Now that the world is quarantined, the work done by the community of local guides helps to choose the shortest paths to shops and pharmacies. But do not despair. I spend my free time on self-development, hobbies or adding interesting photos and reviews on Google maps. My Food delivery reviews and lists of places to visit help pass the time. New culinary discoveries and virtual travels on Google maps help protect people from coronovirus (COVID-19). Because reducing contact between people will significantly reduce the spread of the disease. “Local guides” means to me: to help always and everywhere. Even if I have to stay home, I will find a way to help people. In conclusion, I can say that the program of local guides is very important for me. Because, firstly, I help people choose good places. Secondly, I can travel without borders. And finally, the big data collected by the community of local guides takes Google maps to the future. It will open for us a brave new world.Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
