Why sharing on Google Maps is more exciting than working for a travel agency?

I am going to tell you, why i love sharing the photos/videos/reviews on Google Maps is more exciting than working for a travel agency.

First of all, i share the contents about alternative destinations near the famous destinations like my hometown. For example, i live very near(50 km away) to Istanbul City and thousands (once upon a time millions) of people come to visit Istanbul City but they go back home without exploring the paradises and the real life, real culture just next to the city.

And additionally, i love sharing the walkthrough videos of a destination of course…

When i visit somewhere (especially abroad) i visit the city center and popular places but after then i visit the back streets local neighbours, local villages, natural paradises… I try to adapt their lives, i eat what they eat, shop from their local markets, visit their local cafes/saloons etc… That’s the real discovery of a culture and nature of a land to my opinion… That’s why i love to share those kind of contents for those who love to travel my style. And of course… I bring my photos and videos, my art to life!

And by doing those i don’t need to limit my words not to disturb any boss or client of a travel agency… I am free about expressing my thoughts and the truth on Google Maps.

That’s why i prefer to be a Google Local Guide than a travel agency guide… Free Speech, Truth, My Style, My Art!

Example:

I cannot upload my walkthrough videos here due to they are 4K resolution and my Graphics Card is unable to play. But most of them were already uploaded on Google Maps and soon they will all be on my Instagram and English Productioın Channel Zero Productions on Travel Playlist.
