Bénin (Afrique de l’ouest). Je suis devenu cette semaine un “Local Guide niveau 5”. Je suis reconnaissant d’avoir rejoint cette belle communauté. Je réside dans la ville d’Abomey-Calavi. J’ai photographié mes sorties (les lieux, les affaires locales et commentaires). Je donne mes avis sur mes expériences. Ce que vous aimez documenter surtout les aspects relatifs au revêtement, à la rénovation et la valorisation des espaces et mobiliers (privé et professionnel). Je suis un spécialiste de la décoration d’intérieure et extérieure. J’aime prendre beaucoup de photos amateurs

Hello Local Guides!
I’m Aleem Khan, a Level 2 Local Guide from Islamabad, Pakistan (originally from Shorkot).
I enjoy contributing to Google Maps by adding clear preview photos, 360 photos, and updating information for local shops and small businesses. My goal is simple: help people see what a place really looks like before they visit.
In Shorkot and Islamabad, I noticed many small businesses were missing or had old info. So I started to:
- Add new places that were missing on the Map.
- Upload high-quality preview photos of shops, food spots, and public places.
- Fix incorrect details like phone numbers and opening hours.
- Answer Q&As and write honest, helpful reviews.
A good preview photo helps a customer decide faster and it also helps a small business get more customers.
I’m proud to be part of this amazing global community. I would love to connect with other Local Guides from Pakistan.
Do you also focus on shop previews in your city? Share your tips!
Thank you!

1. Name: Suraj
2. Location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India 
3. What led you to become a Local Guide:
I started contributing to Google Maps because I enjoy exploring places and sharing real experiences that can help others. I like adding useful information, writing reviews, uploading photos, and helping keep local places and information updated.
4. My favorite thing to explore:
I especially enjoy exploring cafés, restaurants, local businesses, and interesting places around Jaipur. I love discovering places beyond the usual recommendations and sharing them with the Google Maps community. 
5. Fun fact about me:
I’m a digital creator, so I naturally enjoy taking photos, creating content, and documenting places I visit. What started as simply helping people on Google Maps has now become something I genuinely enjoy doing.
Happy to be here and excited to connect with fellow Local Guides from around the world! 
Nice to meet you

Hello everyone,
After a few years’ break, I’m back.
I haven’t stopped participating in the community anonymously.
I’m currently at Level 9, with 63,960 points, 6,997 photos, 84,716,697 views, 1,023 reviews, and much more.
As a solo traveler, Google Maps is my go-to tool for planning routes, marking places I want to visit, adding new locations that don’t appear on the map, and making necessary updates.
Every new trip brings new photos, videos, reviews, and contributions regarding the places I visit.
Greetings from Chile.
