Hi Everyone,
I’m Elaine and currently a Level 6 Local Guide from Singapore!
I started being an active local guide since 2017 when I used Google Maps to locate the best finds in New York City and San Francisco.
After a couple of months of leeching, I decided it was time to give back to this community who built an amazing experience for me. I loved uncovering hidden gems and started uploading reviews of places I visited, both in Singapore and overseas.
It’s rewarding to receive notifications from Google, informing me of how many times my photos have been viewed. I realised the impact I can make, just like how Google Maps helped to build amazing experiences for me during my constant search for food and travel.
I live to eat and travel to unwind, and I believe there are many like minded people out there too!
I’ve recently made a weekend trip to Cebu, Philippines. It was my first time to the Philippines and I loved how friendly the locals are. The island of Cebu has amazing beaches and we’re blessed with great weather! We couldn’t have asked for more and can’t wait to head back to the Philippines! Here are some photos taken during the trip!
