I also liked to watch movies like you, but little different ! I like to watch Asian, and those real events movies ( based on a true story ) .

A great European one ( No man’s land ) you can watch it. Or a very funny one ( Central Intelligence ) 2016 casted by Dwayne Johnson

Hi, dear @MoniV
Thank you for your introduction.

Name: Rezgar

Location: Kermanshah - Iran

What I love about being a Local Guide: Many years ago, I got familiar with Google Maps and Local Guides. All the while editing places, sharing photos and adding places to Google Maps, I’ve always been wondering why I should help Google Maps while Google will not pay for this effort?

This year spring, I traveled to Tehran and due to not being familiar with the city of Tehran, I had to use Google Maps for navigation and finding my ways all-around to search for addresses, to find good restaurants, and to contact the places I had chosen to visit and to coordinate the phone with them.

In this trip, I realized that all the things that I did for Google Maps are not as much as the services I get from it. In other words, we’re not just helping Google Maps but helping each other, and the Google Maps Team has created a built-in infrastructure that we can use to help each other.

The features that Google Maps provides to its users, such as creating different maps for categorizing your personal favorites, is very helpful. I made two maps on this trip, first the map of the places of interest and historical monuments, and second the map of my favorite restaurants, and whenever a map was needed, by choosing that Google Maps features such as reading other users’ reviews, using a phone number to coordinate with the destination in the comment, to see the destination photos and ultimately navigation.

My favorite [place/thing/cuisine/other] to explore: I love Deserts and I like to speak with you about Deserts of Iran and to share with you Tourist Attraction of Iran in Connect. I like to talk about food, so I’m writing about delicious Iranian foods.

Fun Fact about me: I am an ectourist. I always travel, especially to nature and offroad. I see all of the Tourist Attraction of Iran, Mountains, Seas, Waterfalls, Deserts, and Etc. I traveled to more than 12 countries in the world.

Stay with me and my trips in Everything about the tourist attractions of Iran

Best Regards
Rezgar
