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 previous threads, like August’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from. We’ll merge any “I’m new” and “Hello world” posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.
Do you want to be featured inour monthly Introduce Yourself posts**?** Share your introduction in the comments, following the five prompts below, and a horizontal photo of yourself (in landscape mode). The best introductions will be considered for future Introduce Yourself posts. Please note: Your response may be edited for clarity. By taking part in this challenge, you agree to allow us to share your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.
This month, meet @KhokonSharker ! Md. Khokon is a Local Guide Level 8, and here’s what he shared.
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Being a Local Guide lets me share my experiences and help others by answering their questions about different places.
4. My favorite thing to explore: Places around me that not many people know about. I love discovering old places and reading what others say about them on Google Maps.
5. Fun fact about me: I use Google Maps to look for cool spots like a scientist uses a microscope to see microorganisms.
Nice to meet you, Khokon! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Khokon in the comments below and share your introduction, too.
For featuring on connect introduction threads what can I say you already enter to the world of Google local Guide thanks @Ivi_Ge for introduce us through the connect introduction threads.
Welcome to Connect @KhokonSharker and great to learn about you. So you use Google Maps to look for cool spots like a scientist uses a microscope to see microorganisms! That’s really interesting and it sure looks like you have found a cool spot at 5,000 meters! I’ve been to quite a few cool spots myself but never to Zero Point in Sikkim. I do hope that you’ll share more about it.
Congratulations on introducing yourself as a Local Guide! Your contributions make a real difference in helping others explore and discover new places. Keep up the great work
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: mine is a matter of gratitude… Each star is a BIG “Thank you” to those businesses that were kind to me and made my life easier, funnier or provided some value to me. In this new stage of my life, I hope being a Local Guide will let me meet new people who enjoy getting to know new places
4. My favorite thing to explore: I mostly write about restaurants and touristic attractions I get to know during holidays. In second place I write about small businesses and concert venues.
5. Fun fact about me: I’m quite fond of foreign languages and besides I sing in an amateur classical music choir. When I was younger, I used to write fanfics of my favorite group
happy to see you
