Why I became a Google Local Guide?

Travelling and visiting new places of awesomeness has always been a dream and a long cherished hobby of mine. The very first time I traveled alone to a foreign country was adrenaline filled and pumped. Imagine going to a place you’ve never been and you know nothing about except the little you’ve read online. Well Google Maps eased the hustle a bit, and through google maps I could navigate streets, but finding the best restaurants, hotels, parks and eat outs was a different complex subject. After a couple failed attempts, I eventually stumbled on the local guide program and decided to also contribute and share my experiences with the rest of the world. Being a local guide is now a most cherished hobby, and I love the experiences with this Program.
