Why am I a local Guide?

At first I didn’t even have a clue what it was to be a Local Guide, I don’t remember if I rated a restaurant or if Google asked me to, however, I started to see that I could do the same with other businesses and sites I visited.

And not only rate them, but make a review and give my opinion of the establishment, upload photos of the place and some detail in the decoration, etc., over time I began to notice that the photos had views and likes, but above all I liked Seeing that people served as a reference to visit the places and then, I began to review details that seemed important to me and that the establishments do not have on their Facebook page or website, details that are important to me, such as knowing if there is parking before going to a concert hall, find out if they accept a credit card in an informal restaurant, if there are healthy food options, if they are pet frendly, even if they have a power bank to recharge a Smartphone.

Then I understood the power and responsibility of being a Local Guide and that is why I am one of them
