Hi, My name is Mahmut. I’m from Turkey and living near by Istanbul. I’m a computer technician at oil and gas company. I’m a level 7 Local Guide.
I started that journey is becasue ı love connecting with people.
Let me explain that.
I had a friend in US Texas. He wanted to visit me after long time.
So we started to look for hotel in İstanbul and ı relised that Google maps and feedback helping alot.
We made a disicion by reading feedback and other local guide experience. I was very impress that google guides effect on our disicion .ı started to give feedback about my country on Google Maps to help everybody.
After a while i talked about this with my friend who is a Google Trusted Verifier. Thus my Google Local Guide journey started because ı decided to become one.
My city has a lot of mountain, rivers and lakes around. And I love spending time in nature. But There is no enought imformation on Google Map about those places. After ı discover Google guides I started taking beautiful nature photos and upload them.
So ı started to spent littele more time on pc but it’s different than before because after getting good feedback from people, ı think it is worthed. Now I’m Google Local Guide in my city and part of this Global Commuity.
Being as Local Guide is so impotant for me. İt is hard to describe that with couple words. Because This program give me a chance for help others and become a part of Big Global Community. Because Google has very Big Vision and that vision gives us a big mission and it gives chance to innovate our selves, opportunity like sharing, helping the others easily.
After ı started to think that way , my view of life started to change.
Now, ı met with a lot of contacs and bussiness owners. We work for increase visitors by using Google maps .
We had good times together.
People are having detailed ideas about the places and finding what they are looking for.
they want to visit some where but they have no idea so after read our feed backs and see out pictures their mind become clear.
And my feedback are helps them to make dicisions.
That carrys me up and makes me feel much better.
That is my best hobby at all
