Why I am a Local Guide and proud of it

Hi Everyone,

my name is Viviana and I’m from Munich (Bavaria, Germany) and here’s why I love being a Local Guide on Google!

I always liked sharing my “foodies”, not only on Instagram, Facebook etc…but one day I also started sharing them on Google in my reviews. I got a big resonance on them, several 100.000 or even Millions of views. I was overwhelmed and so I continued posting reviews and pictures of locations in my hometown, so other people could inform themselves before choosing a restaurant.

Funny thing is: I always dreamed of being a hotel & restaurant tester, when I was little! I even completed a full apprenticeship in a local Hotel here in Munich. But unfortunately my helath wouldn’t let me work in gastronomy for much longer. Now and then I help out in restaurants and visit my former collegues, which is why I really know a lot of places to go to. All my friends ask me for new places to visit, and that makes me proud!

Not only on Google Maps I help people find the perfect place for them, but also in every day life. Tourists can even book me for a private tour through my beloved city of Munich <3

To keep inspiring people around me and from around the world, I’d love to exchange ideas and creative input with other Local Guides in this years #localguidesconnect

Keep on making the world a more connected place and let’s all be happy about it :slight_smile:
