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 past threads, like August’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from (simply search for “Introduce Yourself”). If you’re new, please use this thread to post your “I’m new” or “Hello world” posts. We’ll merge any posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.
To start, let me introduce myself:
Name: Nadezhda, it’s the Bulgarian (slavic) word for hope
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria
What I love about being a Local Guide: As I am someone who finds a lot of pleasure in eating out and travelling, I prefer taking educated decisions about where I’d go next. Therefore, I like reading about other Local Guides’ experiences from the places I’m interested in. However, as much as I enjoy reading reviews and looking at photos, I also love it when I share my knowledge with others.
My favorite thing to explore: I am super interested in different cultures. I’m especially fascinated by the differences and similarities in people’s habits from all over the world. Things I like learning about are how they communicate, eat, have fun etc.
Fun Fact about me: I’m nervous and a bit scared when going down all kinds of stairs because of an accident I had years ago. Going down a steep hill is something that scares me a ton. Here’s a photo of me fighting this fear for 30+ km during this weekend:
What I love about being a Local Guide: I love the responsibility it gives me to provide accurate and useful information to the next Google maps user.
My favourite place globally is Dubai.
Some facts about myself: I am a newbie in Edmonton having lived all my life in Nigeria. I am so eager to take on the city and make it mine while helping others get around much easier than I did.
About Me : I am am an educator, love travelling, attending seminars and active involvement in social activities.
Local Guide For Me : I use Google map and reviews frequently a lot while i was travel to a new place. I came to know about local guide just few days back by receiving a mail on account of reaching 5th level. Due to summer vacation, i am spending maximum time on LGLS 2018 to get a chance to meet the global friends.by contributing reviews , photos and tasks related to google maps. Now I am at level 6. The main reason to spending more time LG to meet Global fiends and share, gain the knowledge of historical places around the world.

Wherever I used to go, I use google map for searching the amenities. This is how I also started to contribute on google map and Local Guide programme.
