As the “Tech and automobile enthusiast guy” among my friends and family, I’m the one who helps and advises relating to this area ,and also switches on and off the modem too. Whenever we head out for a tour or go for a road trip, it’s usually me, who gives the suggestion and directions, thanks to Google Maps. It is because of the reviews and ratings posted by other Local Guides, we were able to choose better places to eat (whether its a restaurant or a thattukada (local shops along the way)).
Soon after, I too started posting photos and reviews. Since these reviews have a pretty big impact and they help out other people out there, I started working on them a bit more and did enjoying doing them so.
I’m a big time Foodie and currently I’m in Calicut (a district in Kerala,India). Calicut is very famous for food and other delicacy, basically it’s a food heaven. So a restaurant or a cafe or a burger joint pops up every now and then. I usually hit almost all the places and posting reviews and photos is my thing.
To all the Local Guides out there,you might help a small business get the reach they deserve. Your review actually makes a huge difference, you might help someone to avoid a bad item from the menu or help them have the best burger they ever had, the outcomes and unlimited and always try giving a detailed review, it only takes about 5 minutes of your time and it’ll be worth it. Being a Local Guide is a pretty big responsibility, so be fair and honest.
