3. What I love about being a Local Guide: My favorite thing about being a Local Guide is the chance to connect with people from all over the world, with whom I can share my love for traveling and helping others. I get to know about different places, and Connect is the main reason I am constantly updating my travel bucket list. Google Maps is also by my side, giving me the opportunity to choose from options that fit my criteria when it comes to planning a vacation: from the destination to the accommodation, and more. It is the friend I always bring to my trips.
4. My favorite thing to explore: I love to explore different cultures and traditions. That is why I prefer to visit smaller towns, even villages, where it is more likely for customs to have survived through time. One example is a trip I made to Evora, Portugal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where I met amazing people and had a great experience getting to know the region of Alentejo. I also love to be close to a sea or an ocean, go to the beach and enjoy the sunset with friends.
5. Fun fact about me: When I travel to a new country, I prefer to wander with my friends in the small streets to feel the atmosphere of the place instead of visiting the center and the popular attractions. I also always take a dance class when I’m in a city abroad.
This time as a result of COVID-19 the isolation get me waiting that the Canada Embassy reactive the Study Visa applications.

I can empathize , I had a break in at my place and all my back up harddrives with my photos from 10 years ago were stolen . Very upset , but one can only move forward . And I am a much better photographer now than way back. but i know how you feel .
Why dont you start off in your local area , look for small business and help put them on the map .
I take photos of important places, so that visitors & travellers can find those places. I’m very glad to be here with google local guides. I’m improving my skills with some recovery things like photography, add new places, review places etc. Last of all i wanna say it’s very pleasure to be with

Hello I’m Marti, I go by Goss online. I like to explore fun places to eat. I’ve been trying to find good places during the pandemic that have social distancing set up well and are following proper procedures for contact tracing. I can’t drink alcohol anymore, so I’m also always on the look out for places with really fun non alcoholic drinks! If anyone else has more information on great places I’d love to learn more. I’ve lived in Minnesota all my life.

What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love to giving right information to Google Maps that can help Millions of people .
I love to share: I love to add and edit places. Wherever I go I try to use “Check the Facts” and look for missing information. I love to share photos so that other people can see the world through my eyes.
How did I hear about Local Guides: wherever I travel use the Google maps so maps asked me about the reviews and ratings. Then I released that its a good platform to explore the world and meet genius people’s who doing same thing like me.
