I began posting on Google Maps without knowing the impact my reviews will have. At the beginning, it wasnt really on purpose, i was in a place… i took some photos and there was a question in my cellphone screen about… it seems you are in this place right now… do you want to include this photo in google maps… something liket that… I said yes a lot of times and then I got messages saying my reviews were helping people to make better decisions… So, I got used to it!
I enjoyed the fact that my experiencies visiting places, restaurants, coffeshops and so on, were helping others to have better experiences in their own.too. I think that´s what I love the most on sharing my experiences on Google Maps. I can be of help to others, I love to answer questions about the accessibility, the services provided, the quality of the products, important things to know about surroundings, etc.
As a local guide, living in a so multicultural city (Madrid!), I love to guide people coming from other countries or even locals to get to know the best places in town or avoid the ones that are not that good. I am so happy when I share things about my neighborhood restaurantes o small businesses that are not that famous but, where you can have a delicious meal, buy the most inexpensive things or have a nice coffee talk with friends!
I think we are living in a global community and Google Maps allows us to be of help to others! and that is wonderful!!
