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.
What I love about being a Local Guide: I love surprising my friends with great spots I’ve found on Google Maps with the help of other Local Guides. Also, once I have introduced them to a new hidden gem, I like to show them the various ways in which they can make a difference by sharing their experiences on Maps.
My favorite thing to explore: I have been a foodie my whole life, so one of my favorite things to explore is restaurants. Trying new cuisines, unusual flavors, or ingredients, is a lot of fun for me.
Fun Fact about me: I’m quite afraid of all sorts of adventure sports, and I tend to avoid them at all costs. At the same time, I’m always seeking new experiences and ways to leave my comfort zone. When these two sides clash, I try to find a middle ground. An example of this is my recent experience with kayaking, which turned out to be very enjoyable—and borderline adventurous! It was in Lake Pancharevo, which is just 15 kilometers away from downtown Sofia, making it a great weekend getaway spot.
I want to share the bautiful places of my island of Puerto Rico, we have most beautiful beaches in the whole world. We have a unique tropical rains forest El Yunque, Cristobal Colón statue. Our local gastronomy is a Madness. I invite to you for visoting my country, you have a local guide in me.
Ask me for that route or place you didn’t find on Google Maps, or you find it difficult to use, you couldn’t understand the use? I’ll help you short it out within seconds
4-About me:To me, the Local Guides program is a great opportunity to engage with people from around the world, take part in cultural exchanges, and make good friends. Through the contributions of other Local Guides on Google Maps, I’ve explored many new places during my holidays abroad. Maps have also saved me numerous times when I’ve got lost in a city that I visit for the first time.
My name is Sophea from Cambodia, and I’m here since April 2020. Really love this program as I can make friends from around the globe. I’m into food, photography and travel so I would share a lot about them. I’m mild adventure
