I realised after I figured all out about how it worked that my contributions helped people to get to places but also I felt like the link connecting the dots. I live in Tenerife, the mayor island out of 7 islands , located closer to Africa than to the mainland Spain so they are far in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to this isolation locals started to search around how to get to places and how connecting to other Islands and get to restaurants or hotels without the help of a travel agency. Also thanks to its subtropical weather people form all Europe are familiar with the Canary Islands. Being a local had brought me the reward to help the community some in the most touching ways. I posted 6 months ago about my personal experience in ADEPAC which is a Non profit association that care for some animals in need . They also has an special area to incinirate your companion pets and get you the asses to keep it. This was very touching because is very rare to find a place in the whole island that get you the asses of your beloved companion and be able to bring them home with you. I reviewed in Google as a local guide and so far had almost 1300 views and a few questions about the place that I gladly helped with.
Thank you Google for giving me this opportunity to help people .
