Namaste Local Guides,

I opened my inbox to a wonderful surprise from Google—an email celebrating my 8-year anniversary of contributing to Google Maps! It’s honestly hard to believe it has been that long. Time truly flies when you’re having fun exploring, sharing, and helping others.

When I started, I never imagined it would become such a passionate and rewarding hobby. For me, it has always been about more than just points or levels. It’s about the joy of helping a traveler find that hidden gem, supporting a small local business with an honest review, or adding a new place to the map that makes life easier for the community.

The email came with some stats that just blew me away. It’s humbling to see the cumulative impact of small, consistent actions over the years.

Here’s a look at my journey over the last 8 years:

  • Total Contributions: 32,763

  • Total Views: A staggering 96,786,954 (Almost 97 million!)

  • Reactions on Photos: 7,634

  • Total Points Earned: 127,749

Seeing that my contributions have been viewed almost 100 million times is just mind-boggling. It’s a powerful reminder that every single photo, review, edit, and answer we provide can reach and help so many people around the world.

You all inspire me every day with your amazing discoveries and dedication.

So, I’d love to hear from you!

  • How long have you been a Local Guide?

  • What’s the one contribution you’re most proud of?

  • What keeps you motivated to contribute?

Thank you, Google, for this amazing platform, and thank you to every Local Guide for making this community so special. Here’s to many more years of exploring, sharing, and guiding together!

Cheers,

NandKK
