Wow, thank you for sharing your inspiring journey @TitikMariati
I’m also a cosmetics and beauty products entrepreneur, so I really enjoyed reading about your experience as a makeup artist. It’s wonderful how Google Maps allows us to share our passion and help others through honest reviews. Wishing you continued success in both your business and your Local Guides journey. Keep inspiring!

Hello folks!
Greetings from Brazil! It’s a pleasure and an honor to be a member of this great community. I hope I can contribute to its growth, always having fun! 
Hi everyone,
The first DM from the Local Guides team suggested I pop in and introduce myself, so here I am! My name is montrealion.
I’ve been a Google Maps contributor for years, but I’m just starting to really understand and dive into the Local Guides community aspect of it all, and I absolutely love it. Honestly, in a way, I think it’s one of my favorite social media platforms out there, especially when it comes to traveling.
I’m super happy about this Connect platform and being able to see what this initiative is all about. I’ll definitely be continuing to share photos and reviews of my favorite places because it’s just awesome.
Glad to be here and looking forward to connecting with you all!
Hi @Montrealien nice to meet you here. Welcome! I have moved your post to monthly introduction thread where you can find Local Guides around.
Hello Local Guides community! 
My name is 1RasOscarKing, and I’m excited to be part of LG Connect. I enjoy exploring new places, discovering hidden gems, and sharing honest reviews and real photos to help people find great experiences.
As a Local Guide, my goal is to support local businesses, highlight interesting places, and contribute useful information to the community.
I believe every place has a story — and I’m here to discover, review, and inspire. 
Looking forward to connecting with other Local Guides around the world!
