My journey of being a google local guide started around 1 year ago. I was born and brought up in India and moved to Germany a few years back. It is difficult to move in a different country especially when you do not possess even the basic skills in the language spoken there, not to forget many differences like culture, life and the subtle differences in the ways to deal in your day-to-day affairs. There were so many questions and no one to answer them. Internet was a boon in the tough times. From google search engine, google translator and google mail to google maps, all these free services were my survival mantra. It is so easy to find local shops, tourist places, doctors and other services in your vicinity and get all the information shared by people in the form of reviews. We get all the required information about a particular place from the real people and through their experiences.
Regardless of where you live in the world, you are a part of society. As members of society, we all have a responsibility to help others and improve the state of the community and the world. This motivated me to contribute back to society. After getting inspired by these helpful people, I started my journey of being a google local guide. I am proud to be a level 6 google local guide within a year. From writing reviews, posting photos, answering questions about places to suggesting edits, I try to contribute in every way I can. I firmly believe that every person can make a difference in society if they have the will to do so. Even though you may not think of this as a great act, it goes a long way in making a difference to society. Hence, Keep Exploring, Keep Discovering Google!
