In life, there are instances where you require help or someone to guide you. Similarly, there are instances where you could have probably helped someone or guided someone if they were to ask you at the right place at the right time. The google local guide program brings both of these and millions of others together to help each other through choices we make in day to day life. We, humans, have a limited amount of time every day and we need to make many choices which sometimes becomes tedious. Google’s local guide is essentially your friend who has been to all these places and can give you a good expectation setting for you to make that choice easier.
This is especially useful for solo travelers who are exploring a new place and want to make good decisions. It helped me a lot when I went on a solo trip to the hill station, Coorg. Everything from my accommodation to the restaurants to the tourist spots was reviewed and recommended.
