Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I’m really happy to be part of this amazing community. Looking forward to sharing more beautiful spots and photos from Germany! Happy guiding everyone! :raising_hands::glowing_star:

Hello everyone!

My name is Debnik and I am a Level 8 Google Maps Local Guide from West Bengal, India.

I enjoy exploring temples, heritage sites, small towns, local culture, and places that are often overlooked by mainstream tourism. Through Google Maps, I try to document locations, share photographs, and write detailed reviews that help travelers and preserve local history.

Some of my favorite contributions involve documenting old temples and culturally significant places across Bardhaman and other parts of Bengal.

I look forward to learning from fellow Local Guides around the world and sharing new discoveries.

Happy mapping!

Welcome @GeoSense to our community.

Please read our community guidelines, so that you can get a headstart.

I am from Kerala (Trivandrum)!

Hi @GeoSense

Welcome to Connect.

You might not be aware that sharing photos here on Connect is limited to photos you took yourself. I can easily find the same photo of Idukki Dam by using Google Lens.

If it is not your photo then please replace it with one of your own photos or simply delete it.

Further I’m merging your topic into the ongoing monthly introduction thread, where you can say hi to fellow newcommers. I’m sure they would appreciate it if you like some of their introductions.

Using 2 languages is unnessasary as we have a nice translator here on Connect. See Translations explained

@TsekoV Great read! I was once in Lisbon for Web Summit as a volunteer and stayed for some weeks, one of the best experiences @Flypinguim

Hola a todos! ¡Saludos desde Barcelona! Mi nombre es [Sara] y estoy encantado de unirme a la comunidad de Connect. Actualmente soy Local Guide Nivel 7 y tengo una gran noticia: ¡justo hoy he alcanzado los 5 millones de visualizaciones totales en mis aportaciones! Esta semana también he batido mi récord personal escribiendo reseñas porque tenía un montón de sitios guardados en mi teléfono y finalmente me he sentado a compartirlos. Lo que más me gusta de ser Local Guide es ayudar a la gente a descubrir lugares increíbles en todo el mundo. Aunque vivo en Barcelona, mis reseñas son verdaderamente internacionales; he publicado opiniones y fotos en muchos países diferentes, ¡incluso en Canadá! Me encanta compartir mis experiencias tanto de las joyas de mi ciudad natal como de mis viajes al extranjero. Estoy súper emocionado de estar aquí, aprender de otros guías expertos, y mi gran sueño es asistir a un futuro evento ConnectLIVE para conocer a esta increíble comunidad global en persona. ¡Deseando conectar con todos ustedes y feliz exploración!:folded_hands:t5::100::four_leaf_clover::shamrock::glowing_star::clinking_glasses:

I would like to host a Google Local Guide meetup in NYC. We will probably do a picnic in Central Park but first I would like to know. Are you in NYC? Will you attend?
