For me, LOCAL means 'LOCAL TO EARTH’ rather than ‘local person of a small neighborhood’.
‘Guide’ is nothing but sharing knowledge which is helpful and valuable to others.
I like to be a traveller rather than a tourist. I like to experience the culture and nature of place I visit. So, I visit both kind of places, famous and unknown to the world.
‘Local Guide Program’ is truly a fantastic and unique platform available to the world where the post of each and every contributor makes sense, whether posted by a level 10 person or a new comer.
I don’t believe too much in social media. But this platform has has motivated me enough to share my experience of places I have visited or known to me through reviews, photos and videos and lists.
Also, Local guide program enables any G map user to get quality and ground level information posted by real users.
Hope I am able to contribute to local guide program on continuous basis.
Cheers
