1. Name: Daniel Apaloo

  1. Location: Accra, Ghana and originally a Ghanaian.

  2. What I love about being a Local Guide: One thing i find myself doing mostly is travelling within Ghana to list apartments or properties available to let as a full time real estate agent and also take pictures of weddings and other events as a part time photographer. As a Local Guide, i get the opportunity to share interesting things i experience in the line of work with other Local Guides all over the world through local guides connect.

  1. My favorite thing to explore: I love swimming due to the numerous Health benefits it offers me. The truth is even though i am not a fish, when I’m in a swimming pool, I’m elementally myself, floating free of the worries of this world knowing it’s not just fun but healthy. Swimming keeps my heart rate up and relieves me of some stress. It builds my muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness and helps me maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs. I love playing in water.

  1. Fun Fact about me: I find joy in helping others overcome their hurdles for this places smiles on my face too. Heal the world. Topmost hubby is photography and I love being a realtor. I love going to places with swimming pool for relaxation.

It’s summertime.

An ice cream drips from a machine at a store in suburban Quezon City while children waits for their turn to buy it on a sunny summer morning. I took a break from lots of paperwork and classroom duties on a hot summer day, so I went to the store across the street to buy the frozen stuff.

I’m a teacher at the Batasan Hills National High School in Quezon City. I’m teaching senior high school with specialization in Media Information Literacy, and Reading and Writing.

I’d like to meet my fellow guides over there and exchange notes. I look forward to see you guys. Thank you for inviting me. It’s an honor.

Здравейте местни ръководства.

Аз съм Юли от Варна, България. Имам собствен консултантски бизнес за маркетингови стратегии.

Аз живея активно.

Обичам силните усещания и адреналин, планинските преходи, историческите места и отличната кухня.

Обожавам ежедневните дълги разходки и да споделям в Google карти.
Това прави живота ми по-интересен, по-пълен и ми дава възможност да помагам на хората.

Hello Local guides members!

I’m Georgios Bafitos half Greek and Half Lebanese living in Qatar and love to contribute on google maps,

-it’s a passion for me to add photos and getting likes and comments.
-I like to guide all google maps visitors by answering questions about the places they want to visit especially when they ask for wheelchair-accessible and payment terms with the kind of foods…
-I will be happy when I write a review and the visitors relay on my review and my rating
-once a road layout changed, I send a notification to google maps guys to edit the place example changing a roundabout to a traffic signal intersection…

Hello Local Guides! I’m new here and here’s my simple introduction:

1.Name: Mandy Wong

2.Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

3.I like sharing things on Google map

  1. I’ve been a hard core Google fans (even though the Google phones disappointed me twice) and I uses everything Google but it was only recently that I know about Local Guides!

  2. Multicultural here means we have different colors, we have different believes, share different food and languages.

Hello, Local Guides,

My name is Peter Wagner, from Budapest, Hungary, Europe. I’m working as a software engineer.
I love to travel, being a Local Guide gives me the feeling that I’m still an explorer in an age where “we born too late to discover Earth and too early to discover the Universum”.
I like to learn from others and also share my personal experiences.

Bye,

David

  • What I love about being a Local Guide: I use to write reviews for Trip Advisor and Yelp all the time. The thing I don’t like about sites like those is that a lot of people tend to only go to the top places listed. I feel like this is unfortunate. There are a lot of great places out there that are not ranked #1 or #2. That’s what I love about Google reviews and being a local guide - you don’t focus on rankings but just what people think about that particular place.
  • My favorite thing to explore: I love places that don’t cost a dime - parks, nature, etc.

Hola @TsekoV un problema que encuentro con esta plataforma es la limitación de Mb para las fotografías, pues ya en su mayoría los celulares más básicos toman buenas fotos con promedios de 4-8 Mb y solo te permiten 3.2 Mb como máximo y las pocas fotos que envuentre con esa característica son las selfies o con la cámara frontal.
