I’ve been doing this as a minor hobby for a few years now, not really knowing where I would go with it.
While planning a family holiday, I came across some reviews by some other Google guides and then the idea hit me. Why not write an article about it and reach out to other guides and make friends.
[edit: On Saturday, 18 February I received this email from Google just a few days after I started writing this article.]
This article is an ever evolving article where I’ll link to more friends I’ve met via the Google guides platform.
My first connection is coming soon, watch this space.
