Hi everyone! 
I’m Sophat Chy, a Local Guide Level 9 from Phnom Penh, Cambodia 
What I love about being a Local Guide:
I enjoy contributing to Google Maps by sharing hidden gems around Cambodia—from ancient temples to local street food. It’s a meaningful way to help travelers and locals explore places safely and more easily.
Favorite thing to explore:
I love documenting tech spots, cultural landmarks, and scenic motorcycle routes. I’m also passionate about digital literacy, so I sometimes combine education with exploration in my contributions.
Fun fact about me:
I ride a Royal Enfield and often travel across Cambodia to shoot vlogs and take photos that I later share on social media and Maps.
Excited to be part of this global community!
