Introduce Yourself — October 2023

Hi @hassan-3631 ,

Welcome to Connect!

Thank you for sharing your post with us. You can explore the many topic labels and check out the conversations happening among other Local Guides, also you can tell us a bit more about yourself in our monthly topic, which is where I moved your post.

You can check out Your guide to Connect, where you will find great tips, get familiar with the topics on the forum, and various ways to engage with the community.

1. Name: Mohamed Ahmed (Chinese name: 王李)

2. Location: Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China

3. What I love about being a Local Guide:
I have always liked to memorize every trip I take with photos of what I see around me, street photography, and nature most of what I like and I can see the beauty of my pictures when I get credit from friends that I take wonderful pictures, your phone is not that good to produce that beauty, I always respond with our eyes take the photo before phones, so if you see the beauty around you, your photos will be magnificent.

When I look back from time to time to review my work, I always wonder did I visit all those places wow it’s a lot, but when u divide it into 2-3 places per week it’s expected that’s why small steps over time make a huge difference.

I always believe that helping places around us to get known on Google Maps is very important, as we are living in the digital era, with the help of what we add we provide support for the next generations. Not all countries are the same on Google Maps but every contribution we do make a difference no matter where you live.

4. My favorite thing to explore:
I enjoyed visiting stores, restaurants, cafes, and different categories to add their photos; interior and exterior ones. I have always created targets in front of me of how many places I will visit and explore, sometimes it helps me to continue my work. I have added my first target as 100 places then it moved to 1000 and in the future, the number will grow for sure.

5. Fun fact about me:
I would say it’s about what I like most which are traveling and exploring new places “Travel is the ultimate manifestation of passion of our insatiable desire to explore, learn and grow”

Hello dear friend @Januaryjewel61 , Nice to see you here. Welcome to LG Connect family. I like the quote ‘It’s beautiful day to leave me alone’. All the best :+1:

Name: Manjunath Patil

Location: Gadag, Karnataka, India

What I love about being a Local Guide: Being a Local Guide is super cool because it lets me explore new places in my city. I get to visit awesome restaurants, parks, and other cool spots that I might not have known about otherwise. It’s like going on a treasure hunt and finding hidden gems!

As a Local Guide, I also get rewarded for my contributions. It’s like being part of a secret club with awesome benefits!

My favorite thing to explore: As a Google Local Guide, i will answer questions from people who are curious about a place. Maybe someone wants to know if a park has a basketball court or if a museum is wheelchair accessible. By providing helpful answers, i can make someone’s day and be their hero.

I know our city better than anyone else, so i don’t be shy about sharing my knowledge. Write articles or create videos about interesting facts, historical landmarks, or fun events happening in our area. I might inspire others to explore and appreciate our city even more!

Fact about me: I love traveling and snap wonderful pictures and here I’m sharing to you My Photography skills of the places I have been.

Welcome to the wonderful world of LG Connect :pray: @Manjunath_16

The photos look amazing, and I have some tips for you to publish them in full size.

Before that, let me make a guess.

Is that Panorama from the Pattadkal group of temples?

Why don’t you publish each of them in a new post in the Photography topic.

Regards,

I am obsessed finding new places and travelling. I also like to find out info about local places and history. My trusted gadget is the GoPro Hero with the remote grip. I am on the look out for a good travel mirrorless camera with adequate zoom. Might go for the Sony A 6700 which has been recently launched. But till then it is GoPro.

Hello Local Guides Connect Community,
I’m Avik Zaman, and I proudly call Bangladesh my home. As a passionate explorer and enthusiastic Local Guide, I find immense joy in connecting with people and places, both locally and around the globe.
Name: Avik Zaman
Location: Bangladesh :bangladesh:
What I love about being a Local Guide: Being a Local Guide allows me to blend my love for adventure, culture, and community. It’s the perfect platform to share my experiences, insights, and tips with fellow travelers, helping them uncover the beauty of Bangladesh and beyond.
My favorite thing to explore: I’m an avid advocate for exploring the hidden gems in my homeland, Bangladesh. From bustling markets in Dhaka to the tranquil landscapes of the Sundarbans, there’s always something new to discover. But I also have an insatiable wanderlust for exploring the diverse cultures, cuisines, and landscapes of the world.
Fun fact about me: I’m an aspiring photographer and have a knack for capturing the essence of a place through my lens. Whether it’s a vibrant street market or a serene natural landscape, I believe a photograph has the power to transport you to a different world.
