What is the most interesting thing you've done as a Local Guide

The Local Guides program has had a significant impact on my life since I got involved two years ago.

Coming to an entire new city, navigating around with maps, by attending events, local guides meetup, meetings and all as made me mastered some many places to the extent I became a point of contact each time a group of people or individual wants to navigate his/her way around the city and having difficulty. Through drooping reviews and starring places I have been to, make it easy for me to give directions to those needs it. I have really found it interesting to help someone navigate his/her way in his city and the most amazing part is, some of them have been in this city for a very long time but can’t find there way around.

Another interesting thing is that my hometown has been well represented on google maps, due to my little advocacy about local guides so as to make the hometown easy to navigate around with Google maps

Apart from energizing me to explore the world around me in great detail, and connecting me with friends all over the world, the most interesting thing I’ve done as a Local Guide is adding places to Google Maps

I also found out that most software developers always look for places to work/hub. So I created a link listing out hubs in the city.

These are some of the things that interest me as a local guide. I hope you like it?

Thanks.

As a local guide I think the most interesting things I have done was I was at the ocean alone on my blanket. A person came up to me and asked if I ever went digging or looking for sand dollars I said no but we have all day I will Google the best beach to look for sand dollar and sea glass.I put in my Google the best place to go find sea glass.and sand dollars and I navigate the way with my Google and enjoyed meeting someone new and finding sand dollars and sea glass.

The most interesting things I have done a local guide to help millions of people who unknown from the palace. A exact adding place or a helpfull review can help millions of people to find their destination. Its should be more and more impact my life when i saw lakhs of people helpful for my small review or photo or add places and ratings. Its is also growth for a business and people find exact product easily and with wasting time and money. And that time my smile is bigger and bigger.

I feel this program is bearing a local guide a responsibility of assessing of a place or restaurant and it’s features and available facilities
