-Happiness only real when shared-
Christopher McCandless
Hello Local Guides,
I am Zohid and I love sharing my travel experiences on Google Maps.
I enjoy travel a lot. I mean I enjoy being a traveler rather than being a tourist. Being a traveler allows me to experience every place I visit in deeper level. And, Google Maps is a great tool and my travel mate to share my happy travel experiences with thousand of people in easy, fast and comfortable way.
There are many reasons on why do I care about sharing my travel experiences on Google Maps. So I highlight some of the main reasons:
1. I benefit a lot from Google Maps.
Google Maps is my best assistant from the beginning of my every trip until the end of the trip.
My travel itinerary is organized and planned based on caring local guides’ detailed and helpful reviews on Google Maps. I have never been disappointed by my itinerary created through Google Maps. Since Google Maps contributes to my trips and makes my trips easy and comfortable, I contribute back to Google Maps and Google Maps community with my travel experiences and travel photos so that my contribution can help people who use Google Maps.
2. My contributions matter.
Each review, photo, edit and any other contributions that I share on Google Maps have impact on thousand of people and local businesses.
I believe that there are many people out there just like me, whose travel plans and traveling process rely on Google Maps. Especially, there are many local small and medium businesses such as restaurants, coffee shops, small shopping stores etc., who can be recognized through Google Maps with our contributions and little care on Google Maps. So, whenever I review places, I always ask myself following questions to make sure my contributions matter to the community.
‘Is my review worth reading?’
‘Is my review helpful?’
‘Is my contribution worth sharing?’
I believe that my contributions on Google Maps have impact on thousand of people and that makes me proud to be a local guide.
3. Sharing travel experiences can be done on the go.
Another reason why I share my travel experiences on Google Maps is that no matter how busy I am, there is always time to contribute on Google Maps. Sharing travel experiences can be done on the go. I can write reviews on places where I visited while I am taking subway, drinking a cup of coffee, waiting for someone or during my break time at work. Writing review does not take much time. In fact, most of the time, writing one meaningful review can be done within 5 minutes!
4. ‘Happiness only real when shared’.
After all, as inspiring adventurer Christopher McCandless teaches us, ‘Happiness only real when shared’! I am always happy to share my travel experiences with the world as I believe my contribution can be someone’s another happy trip or can help small businesses to get recognized.
These are the main reasons on why I care about sharing my travel experiences on Google Maps. Since I travel frequently and experience different places with help of Google Maps and Local Guides’ communities, there is no reason not to share my happy travel experiences and contribute back to Google Maps and Local Guides community. Because I believe that each contribution I make has an impact on the Google Maps community around the world.
Thank you for reading and happy trips!
Kind regards,
Zohid.
