Hello I’m new to this so this may be a dumb question. I’m from the United States, why can I only see content from the other side of the world. I have seen nothing from my area. Is there a setting I am missing? Thank you in advance.

Hi, @GoneInTheWoods , Welcome to Local Guides Connect.We have here a cool feature on Connect, to help us to connect with Local Guides in our city or anywhere in the world, Favorite locations. (you can select up to 3 locations to find local content)
As you are new, let me introduce to you our community. Connect is a blog and forum where Local Guides from all around the world get together to learn more about the program and Google Maps. Here, you can suggest improvements and swap advice on how to create helpful contributions as a Local Guide. Local Guides use Connect to talk about travels, photos, local guide’s stories, and achievements. We also love to host and attend meet-ups (the virtual ones for now). Here, you’ll find the upcoming meet-ups. Want to know how to organize a virtual meeting? Please, click here.
If you’d like to like to learn more, I suggest you start our tutorial here: About this forum. There are also two interesting articles that you may want to read: Your guide to Connect and 14 helpful tips for using Connect. You can also introduce yourself to our community in our monthly thread: Introduce Yourself - June 2020.
Feel free to tag me (using the sign the “@” + my username), if you need any help.
I hope you enjoy our community a lot, make friends and have fun!
Let’s guide!

Hi @GoneInTheWoods ,
Welcome to Connect.
I would suggest you take a look at all the articles, @AlexandreCampbell shared with you, they will help you get around Connect. When you have a question, you can start a new post or search if there is something similar to what you are asking already on Connect. Keep in mind that I moved your post to how-tos and marked @AlexandreCampbell answer as a solution, as he is providing the answer to your question.

Hi, @GoneInTheWoods
As far as I know, everyone from all over the world could write and post their article here in Connect.
In my opinion, the reason why it seems only a few article about your country is because there’s not much Local Guides who write about your country.
Yes, there are a lot of Local Guides from US, but maybe they’re just less active here compared to other Local Guides from other country.
Maybe you could try to write article about your hometown? That must be awesome
