What does the Local Guides program mean to you? (My savior at work and friend in live)

I like to eat delicious foods and travel everywhere on vacation.

When I want to find good restaurant or go somewhere i haven’t gone , I don’t necessarily discuss with my friends, but I must refer to the opinions of the Google local guide.the program is really like one of my closet friends.

(i like fried pork very much, and dessert is shaved ice)

After exploring to the restaurant, I also share my comment and photos and always want try to take pictures more attractive; thanks to Google guide program, after training for many years, I really became a trip guide last year. I start to introduce my country to foreign tourist and they frequently ask me to recommend nice bar, in every landscape I often take a lot of pictures for them, when my travelers praise my camera work I feel so satisfied.

(the first time to work as a tour guide)

I was a beginner and don’t know the all story of Taiwan‘s tourist attraction in Taiwan. So I was extremely nervous when I led a tour group at first time. Local Guides program really helped me a lot.

Before the place I haven’t gone, I would search some information on internet and read local guide’s recommends and photos,try to know how everyone describes the place.

Sometimes I would get some interesting stories or where is the best photo spot by the local guide comment that can’t find on the official tourist site. Then I told my travelers about all these information, no one thought I am a rookie.I also share some amazing scene on Google map when I work, for my working record and also i can enjoy sharing.

(the highest building in Kaohsiung , Taiwan. and the south area scene in Taiwan )

Although because of corona virus, I can’t work and travel in the near term, I still can dream by seeing the Google local guide’s recommend and photo , I still can be a guide through the program, thanks.
