Hello @trvl_dinesh

Nice to meet you. Well, you said you are new on connect, but I realised that you made some comments on some articles here on connect last year July.

Connect is a home for all local guides. Feel free to interact, by reading different posts and articles. It’s appropriate to give your candid comment/opinions on them, give like comments, etc. You can also write a post as well !

Therefore, I think welcome back to connect is more appropriate. To use connect effectively and to get you established here, you may need to take a proper look at Your guide to Connect. For further questions refer to our Help Desk. Other great articles to read include How do I write a post on Connect and How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect.

Finally, you may want to introduce yourself and meet other local guides on our monthly Introduce Yourself post. Please do so.

The second thing here is, there is so much to do aside writing reviews of POIs. You could add a very nice photograph of the places you visit as well. It could be of the frontview or indoor views, photos of dishes of restaurant etc

Also you may be interested in checking if the information of the place you are visiting is all correct on the maps. That brings us to map Editing;

  • Category
  • Hours of work
  • Contact phone number etc

N.B you could édit these and more if missing or found to be outdate/Incorrect

There are the questions and answers as well to be done, the facts to be checked etc. You’ll discover more and more as you go along.

I am a level 9 local guide and, I enjoy performing all these I have stated above. Hope this is of some help to you.

Enjoy your time on connect.

Cheers
