Introduce Yourself - December 2019

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to our community.

As “Introduce Yourself” threads can be lengthy, we start a new one each month and lock past threads. You can check past threads, like November’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from (simply search for “Introduce Yourself”). If you’re new, please use this thread to post your “I’m new” or “Hello world” posts. We’ll merge any posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.

I’ll kick off this month’s introductions.

1. Name: Son

2.Location: Born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria, but my parents are from Thai Binh, Viet Nam

3.What I love about being a Local Guide: Being a Local Guide is fun and challenging in a good way. One of the things I like most is sharing knowledge with fellow Local Guides. The feeling of being connected with everyone in the community through Google Maps, the program, and Connect helps me overcome the physical distance between us.

4. My favorite thing to explore: I like to explore unique spots which I often capture on photos or videos. My other passion is diving into different food cultures; street food and comfort food are the ones I look up first when travelling. Bubble tea in particular is at the top of my food pyramid!

5. Fun Fact about me: There’s at least one camera or a piece of photography equipment that I always carry around in my bag. I think of myself as an introvert, so I also enjoy some introvert-friendly activities. It’s a must for me to read comics or binge watch a TV series at the end of the day. To compensate for the time I spend indoors, I occasionally play and watch football/soccer, go on a picnic or camping trips.

  3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I try to get the most of every place I visit and I like to share my photographic view of those places with others.
  4. My favorite thing to explore: Nature, mountain trails, old villages with a past, eye-catching details.
  5. Fun fact about me: A few years ago, I’ve started to learn medieval dances, medieval sword fighting and dancing in medieval markets and fairs, something I’ve never have done before, now I still do it but only once a year at the city’s castle. One year ago, I’ve started to learn how to play folk guitar.

@AhmadullahBD আপনাকে অনেক ধন্যবাদ এতো সুন্দর ছবি দেওয়ার জন্য। কিন্তু আপনার এই পোস্ট টি আরো সুন্দর হতো যদি, যাতায়াতের ব্যপার, থাকার হোটেল, খাবার হোটেল, বিভিন্ন স্থান গুলোর নাম দিতেন। তা হলে ভালোই হতো। ঢাকা থেকে কতো খরছ যাতায়াতে তাও দিতে পারতেন।

saya bukan fotografer profesional tapi saya punya semangat untuk menjadi profesional. Tapi dukungan dan ketidak mampuan saya menjadi penghalang, andaikan saya punya kamera ataupun peralatan fotografer lainya saya akan lebih bersemangat menjadi local guides yang membantu semua orang

Wow @Kangadi ini sampai manjat tower ?t sekali !

Bagi saya pribadi menjadi sangat simple untuk seorang local guides saya mengambil photo menggunakan hp saja ,memakai kamera profesional memang lebih sempurna . Tanpa kamera juga bisa ,kita berkontribusi melalui rating ,review ,atau menjawab pertanyaan ,edit tempat dan sebagainya. Sekali lagi ini adalah pengalaman pribadi ya mas .

Salam local guides .
