 First time in local guides connect. I really enjoy reviews. I sometimes keep it brief and simple facts, other times when inspired I like to kick around some humor. I have a few photos. I really hope it helps folks want to get out and explore. Even if a place gets a bad review, you never know when things may change. Sometimes good places have bad days. I think it would be awesome to do this for a living. I hope you have a great day and find something new to explore and write about. Be inspired!

Re: Reviews

Thank you for being such a dedicated Local Guide, @AndrewR. 🙂 Welcome to Connect, we are glad to have you!

 

Connect is a community forum where Local Guides share their worldly experiences and ideas with one another. You can explore the different boards to find out what others are talking about at the moment. 

 

Reviews are great for Maps. Being in Connect, you can share your travel advice and tips for those who are visiting your city/country and even organise a meet-up for Local Guides from your area. You can also learn more about mapping your world and share feedback and suggestions with the team. If you have a huge catalog of photos, be sure to share them in the Share Your Photos and Discoveries board (easily one of my favourite boards!). There are just so much you can do here.

 

For a start, I recommend reading this post for tips on using Connect. Also introduce yourself and get acquainted with fellow community members. 

 

Can't wait to see your posts!

Re: Reviews

yeah I'm interested in this Local Guides thing. it's like Google is trying to be Yelp too? but I'm all for it, I think Yelp's algorithm is kind of shady.
