What local guides means to me: Reaching out and helping people

Hi,Shilpa here,I’m a dentist by profession and traveler and foodie by passion.

I like to reach out and like reviews of the restaurants and touristy places I visit. As I kept contributing,I wasn’t aware that it made me a local guide on Google maps! It was a wonderful surprise to get emails from them notifying about the same.

Thus began my journey as a local guide. It gives me the responsibility of writing reliable reviews,to help other who read them.

My review on the restaurant BBQ nation garnered 3,643 views! It feels like an accomplishment,to reach these many viewers as a local guide!

Local guides encourages me to add reviews about grocery stores,salon etc too.

While planning a vacation,the reviews written by other local guides are very relevant to me. I read all recent reviews to keep myself prepared for the travel! Thanks to the local guides who have put up their reviews,we found a perfect place to stay at Karde beach,during our recent travel.

That’s me and my daughter at Karde beach!

Recently I added a new place to Google maps to help a small business which has opened in my area. It’s quite satisfying to be of help!

All in all,local guides keep on striving to help the entire global community!
