What Local Guides means to me: Spreading love and positive vibes.
I used to be oblivious on how this information and reviews popping up each time I browse through my Google Maps app and it got me simply thinking of ‘oh thank you Google employees on the efforts of putting information one by one but little did I know that it is from these super Local Guides providing updated hands-on information, reviews and opinions. A clear message. A message in which to help and contribute for the better. Spreading love and positive vibes.
I grew up in the capital city of Indonesia named Jakarta which has a total of population of almost to 10 million people as per 2019 and not to mention that Indonesia is the 4th most populous country and it is the world’s largest island country with more than seventeen thousand islands and the 14th largest by land area and 7th in the combined sea and land area with the massive 700 regional languages with over 300 ethnic groups. It is definitely a melting pot. A huge vibrant and colorful melting pot. One has to see and feel the wonderful Indonesia but how one might ask? And thank you Local Guides for this.
Through the help of Google and especially Local Guides, and by the touch fingers, I can help the global citizen of relaying and informing about Indonesia. Surely, there are many places to visit, culinary to taste, experiences to try and others. I can show you the Indonesian love to all of you.
If one thing that I would suggest you to do is to try the authentic food from my family’s hometown in West Sumatra but through Local Guide, I can tell you to try the rendang from which restaurants and tell my review on it as well. Rendang is a spicy meat dish slow-cooked, braised in coconut milk and spice mixture. In 2017, CNN stated that rendang is the most delicious food on earth. Do you agree? To find out more, please check out my West Sumatra Culinary List on Local Guide List and get ready to fill your mouth with saliva. Sure that I have so much more of love and positive vibes to spread.
Thank you very much
