Hello Local Guides community! 
My name is ESLAM, a Level 7 Local Guide based in Abu Dhabi 
(originally from Egypt 
).Over the years, I’ve contributed 934 photos on Google Maps – and I’ve reached a milestone of more than 1.8 million total views! 
It’s been an incredible journey from Egypt to the vibrant streets of Abu Dhabi.My passion lies in:
Capturing real moments
Showcasing local places with useful visuals
Promoting the culture of cleanliness and environmental awarenessThis achievement is a reflection of how our small contributions can make a big difference for people exploring the world through Maps.I’m very happy to join this great Connect community, and I look forward to learning and growing together with all of you 
Let’s keep making the map even better
Thanks again, everyone! Feel free to say hi or share your favorite contribution tips below!

ما أحبه في كوني مرشدًا محليًا: أحب إنّي نساعد الناس يكتشفوا أفضل الأماكن سواء مطاعم، مقاهي أو أماكن سياحية، ونقدم لهم تجربة أوضح من خلال الصور والتقييمات.
-
الشيء المفضل لدي لاستكشافه: المطاعم والمقاهي المميزة وتجربة أطباق جديدة، إضافة إلى زيارة المواقع الأثرية والمعالم التاريخية.
-
حقيقة ممتعة عني: عندي شغف بالتصوير وتوثيق التفاصيل الصغيرة في الأماكن اللي نزورها، ونحب نشاركها باش يستفيد منها غيري

- Hello guide community! My name is Leigh Ann but I like my friends to call me Leilei.
- I live in Florida USA, about an hour north of Tampa Bay area.
3.At first I didn’t know what a local guide was until fiancee and I went on a stay cation near our home. I was looking for a hotel and the Google maps guide kept coming up for me to rate places we went to. After the first day, I was loving being a guide and still am after only 1 week. I love our community and all the advice and tips from being a guide and the others who had been guides before my one week journey started. I also love the rating of all places you go to and helping others know places I’ve been and rating and reviewing them. - I love exploring the restaurants, shopping and date night spots. Fun things to do for couples and also for my teen son to do with us. Our area is rural but still full of fun things to go and find within 20 miles of us.
- I live gardening, diy projects of all kinds, movies, reading, all types of music except rap. Just a typical mom who enjoys couple time with fiancee, time with son, playing with our pets, and wants to travel throught the USA when ready to retire.

Hi @dahboss , welcome to Connect, the official community of the Google Local Guides.
Happy to have another Local Guide from Nigeria here in Connect.
Connect, this community, was launched on July 2016, and last month we celebrated the 9th anniversary.

Hello @dahboss,
Welcome to Connect!
Since you are new here, why don’t you explore the many sections of the site and check out the conversations happening among our Local Guides? You can check the Connect community guidelines.
Search the community before posting as others may have asked your question (and received an answer) already.
Use a descriptive title for your topic to make it easier for people to know whether they should open it. To make your topic more interactive, check out How do I write a topic on Connect?
I will move your topic with this month’s Introduce Yourself where you can meet more new Local Guides.
