The Local Guides program occasionally come to my life and become part of it as I like to create and share.
To me, being a Local Guide means truth, pure experience and collaboration.
TRUTH
I just reached 3 millions views of photos and almost 1 millions views of videos I posted on Google maps. It gives me feeling that I am even more then just Local Guide. literally I am eyes for those people. What a great feeling!
And all this views made by real people so I happy to share true current look and information of the places. And I use it also because Local Guides is great resource of true information. For example when I visit bicycle shop I share picture from inside to let people know the really great amount of bikes and option to choose.
PURE EXPERIENCE
Local Guides program let me to explore the world and share it with others by lists of recommended places, restaurants, hotels and only the world is a limit. I like it so much!
All content made by pure experience of every member. So it helps people to see always fresh pictures of place they interesting about.
And also you can find great hidden places you dream about but it does not appear while you pass by without Local Guides. Only in Local Guides people can find my list of TOP 5 cafes in my hometown Ekaterinburg. It is from my heart to the world!
COLLABORATION
I am amazed how collaboration works in Local Guides program. People from all over the world collaborate to maintain transparent friendly Local Guides ecosystem.
We collaborate with owners of different places by adding reviews about their businesses. The most useful review was about my favorite Georgian restaurant in Moscow
And this is only beginning!
There is so many things to discover and share on Local Guides!
