Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others.

There are people who work really hard but don’t see the opportunity to give them time to travel and live the life the fullest in their mind they need to earn the money for other priorities listed in their mind.

I love traveling and exploring new places right now I feel helpless I would love to go out and explore like anyone else who might feel the same way.
