Ciao @V.per.valentina , benvenuta in Connect, e grazie @KashifMisidia per il tag.
Beh, Guide Locali in Italia ce ne sono molte, e alcune di loro sono qui in Connect.
Alcune, come @PattyBlack e @DENIT33 amano le loro piste ciclabili, altre come @P_LAVARDA ne hanno fatto il soggetto di molti dei loro topic nella community.
Molte di loro a Giugno saranno a Lucca per [In-Person] Italy, June 19, #Euromeetup 2025: see you all in Lucca, Italy!
Qui in Connect raccontiamo la nostra esperienza di Guide Locali, e facciamo conoscere i luoghi che frequentiamo e che ci piacerebbe far conoscere anche agli altri.
Perché non lo fai anche tu?
Io sono di Treviso, la città del tiramisu , Treviso - The town where the Local Guides meet - #TeamItaly
Ho scritto molto sulla mia città, se vuoi puoi trarre ispirazione per i tuoi post cliccando qui
Spero di rivederti presto qui in Connect e magari, perché no, anche a Lucca, dove potrai conoscere molte delle Guide Locali più famose d’Europa (e non solo)

Hi everyone!
My name is Eli Tzarfati, and I’m a Local Guide from Eilat, Israel. I recently reached Level 8 with over 15,000 points, and I’ve truly enjoyed contributing to Google Maps by sharing honest reviews, helpful photos, and local tips.
I haven’t received any perks or event invites yet, but I’d really love to be more involved with the Local Guides community, connect with others around the world, and maybe take part in future opportunities Google offers.
Feel free to say hi or share your own story — I’d be happy to connect!
Thanks,
Eli

Hello @Elizar1978 and welcome to Local Guides Connnect.
Google Maps is a community based platform that relies on voluntary contributions from users to help others make informed decisions about places. The Local Guides program encourages users to write reviews, share photos, answer questions, and edit map information. While participants earn points and levels for their contributions, the program is not designed to generate perks.
But yes, Recognition comes through badges, levels, and occasional perks, which are offered based on the quality and consistency of contributions. To be eligible for perks, users must enable perk-related emails in Local Guides settings and remain active contributors.
Participation is entirely voluntary, with the main goal being to assist others and improve the map experience for everyone.
