Hey Local Guides contributors! 👋
My name is Julian. I am from Bogota, 🇨🇴 and I am very exited writing this up.
I am a digital marketer so this is SO nice and empowering for me: to participate actively in a community that help many people.
I started at this program as soon as it came out. When I was a little child, I used to play every possible second. I got used to earn points while I was playing.
My real main reason to join, at first was: getting points! 🙈
In fact, Facebook tried to do something like Local Guides, but its UX was no so good and had not the live map experience that made of Local Guides so special. I stopped rating in that program and focused on Google's one.
Some time after, I started to realize that some contributions, ratings or even many photos were inaccurate or 'just a matter of earning points'. In that moment, I changed my mind about Local Guides (Contributors app at first). I liked to earn points, but I love to help other to achieve their goals.
Everytime I have the chance to take a picture, answer a question or review a place, I do it without hesitate.
Meet you all in CA, guys!
