Introduce Yourself — March 2025

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 previous threads, like February’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from. We’ll merge any “I’m new” and “Hello world” posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.

Do you want to be featured in our monthly Introduce Yourself posts? Share your introduction in the comments, following the five prompts below, and a horizontal photo of yourself (in landscape mode). The best introductions will be considered for future Introduce Yourself posts. Please note: Your response may be edited for clarity. By taking part in this challenge, you agree to allow us to share your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.

This month, meet @jlampdazme! Jennifer is a Local Guide Level 6, and here’s what she shared.

1. Name: Jennifer Lampley

2. Location: Modesto, California, USA

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I love being able to use Maps to visit new places, eat great food, have new experiences, and now I get to be part of a wonderful community! It feels great to help others find great places out here to eat or have a good time.

4. My favorite thing to explore: Restaurants that have unique food and/or atmospheres. Local restaurants and places that not everyone knows about and that can provide beautiful scenery and experiences.

5. Fun fact about me: I am on my way to future travels and looking forward to visiting places all over the world to write and share about my experiences.

Nice to meet you, Jennifer! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Jennifer in the comments below and share your introduction, too.

  2. Location: Kerala, India
  3. What I love about being a Local Guide:
    I enjoy sharing insights about places that have historical, cultural, or civic significance. Whether it’s documenting lesser-known railway stations, highlighting road safety concerns, or promoting sustainable tourism, I believe in using my knowledge to make travel more meaningful and informative for others.
    4. My favorite thing to explore:
    Maps, railways, historic places, and nature trails. I have a deep passion for cartography, Indian Railways, and exploring the untold stories of places—whether it’s through cycling, photography, or digital documentation.
  4. Fun fact about me:
    I have been a digital marketing professional since Y2K, a heart attack survivor on a mission to stay fit through cycling, and a passionate railfan who loves capturing speeding trains. I also run multiple community-driven websites, including Tattamangalam.com and RoadsandRails.org, to promote civic awareness and rail safety!
