I always wondered a few years before how Google can show pictures of all the beautiful places and some of the well known on the content of far places. And one fine day a couple of years before I accidentally joined google maps program. As they say, some of the accidents are worth having and this is was one of them.
Why?
First, whenever I travelled to places being the foodie I look for a food recommendation and to my surprise good have never ceased to amaze me - be it in Ladakh, San Francisco, New Jersey, New York, Bangalore, Mumbai or any small travel I had in the country - my first choice for good food place is always google and recently I asked to google for a food option and I got a place called Umesh - https://goo.gl/maps/e84soUriHqt5rknv9 and trust me I never had such a finger-licking morning breakfast.
or amazing lunch at the Amritsar which google made me visit - Kesar Da Dhaba - https://goo.gl/maps/gkK48jZ5cw1ojczh6 or in my visit to New York my first bubble tea was thanks to Google… well certainly for food choices google is spoiling me and i am loving it… and that was made me create my public list of must eating places in Bangalore India - https://goo.gl/maps/VoVyQ6pgv7VnbzeW9
How can not google amaze you?
That is just-food.
Places
Whenever I was on a visit to the new town or new place - google is my guide and i can tell from experience, in San Francisco - it took me to 16-mile drive which was nothing short of the spectacular journey… How can you not love the place https://goo.gl/maps/k89iS4FwpKki3EWH7
What do I want to do?
Well, all known places are well covered by many tourists and travel agencies but I want to add more than attractions of millions, I want to add little known places like a tree near me which is 300 years old and circumference is more than 20 to 30 people circling it. I want to add places that you don’t just need to dress up and visit but while your morning walk you can visit and while evening dinner you can explore.
Google guide is not just mean to be showing directions, but I want it to befriend that you will rely on upon… in the end we as local guides we are meant to do one thing happen -
Be a guide - #letsguide and Lets never get lost… (or lets no one gets lost ever) #nevergetlost
