What does the Local Guides program mean to you?

I always liked to write reviews, because I also like to read them. When I discovered Google’s local guides, I joined immediately because I knew I could be good at it. I love to travel, visit new restaurants and museums.

I am passionate about food, and I have a great taste for it, so my reviews are focused more on restaurants. I like photography a lot and I believe it helps in the evaluations.

I believe that reviews are important not only for those who are deciding whether or not to go to a certain place but also for local companies, as they help to improve the business. The entrepreneur who takes the reviews into account can improve his business and thus have many more customers.

Every time I level up, I get the feeling that I’m helping someone. It may be that I help someone decide where to go without having to spend a lot of time on research, or it may be that I am helping a cafe near my home to have more customers. I am happy to be part of this community, as I see that I am adding value to my city.
