Local guide in Chechnya - I do exist!

Google Maps contribution stories

I spent more time writing this post than I would have spent if I was taking dozens of photos :-]

What i like the most about photography - you do not need many words to tell your story. The viewer immediately understands what the story is about.

I like taking pictures of unpopular spots and places in different corners of the world.

I am coming from a not so well known place myself - Republic of Chechnya, which is on the maps thanks to the Google maps :slightly_smiling_face: Probably that is the reason why I like paying attention to streets and buidlings that are not very popular. I like being the one discovering the place and I enjoy sharing my emotions and conveying the atmosphere through my pictures and reviews with other people. I love the fact that through Google I can access such a large audience and make sure my story is being heard and useful.I have spent a wonderful 2017 in the UK, which was my first experience of being in a foreign country - and thanks to Google maps I was able to discover so many interesting places in the UK. This experience made me even more motivated to contribute to the maps. People who shared their reviews and advice helped me so much that it made me realize how important it is for me to continue what I am doing, as I can be helpful too. Here are some of my favourite street views.
