I am Onyebuchi a google level 5 local guide. I started the local sometime in 2016 and it has been an impressive journey so far. The local guide program has really impacted in me a lot. It has helped me in knowing how to write reviews, make ratings of a place and improved my photography skills (lol).
For me, the local guide program is a voluntary service designed to aid me assist my community. Being a local guide has made me more aware of my surroundings and places I visit. It enables me bring places to people by posting pictures, writing reviews and giving ratings.
A lot of people out there may not know a place exists or would not want to try out a place without seeing reviews of it from other people. So as a local guide, the platform helps me bridge that gap and by visiting places and writing about them to enable others have an experience too.
