What does the Local Guides program mean to you?

Hello everyone … I want to tell you a small interesting story about me as a local guide !

Well lets stay I’ve started using google maps back in 2013 I was 16 years old when I got my first android phone ! …

Well on my first days I was happy yaaaay I got my first Android phone and I’ve started exploring everything

And then later years I started to travel and using the maps then I found about the local guide ! and how people around the country help others exploring and discovering places !! I said wow I want to do this too ! … then I started using the guides and became a local guide … now I help other people about my country and placing photos and reviews about every place I go around my town ! it gives me courage and I feel happy helping other people or travelers across my country , even not in my country I mean wherever I go ! even in my hometown Ukraine I help people and last year I was in new York I meet up with local guides and we shared stories and how we help others it was a nice chat and I felt happy well ! because its my first time I made a meetup with someone a local guide like me because in my country we never did it sadly and that’s why I wish to go to the connect to meet with friends and guides as me and share stories and how everyone’s working and helping other people to explore their city …

The program makes me happy when I visit place and I review it so others can see what I wrote about it and even on my Facebook profile I put that I work as local guide haha because I love it and I want to be part of the big community !

And yes my wish to meet with all other guide from around the world

@Ahmadx121 Wow you certainly had to travel far for your first meetup! Amazing.

I was in New York for the first time last year.

Be encouraged by all the good work you are doing with your photos and reviews and making life better for other people.
