My 10-Year Journey: From Map Maker to Connect Live Attendee

Hello Local Guides :globe_showing_europe_africa:,

I wanted to share my story from Cambodia :cambodia: — a journey that started back in 2010 with Google Map Maker.

Over the past decade, I’ve contributed thousands of edits & photos, led community trainings, and had the honor of being selected four years in a row to attend Google’s Local Guides Summits (2016–2019).

And now, I’m excited to be selected for Connect Live Tokyo 2025 :tada:

In my blog post, I reflect on:

  • The early days of mapping Cambodia
  • My experience at Google HQ
  • Community impact and training work
  • Lessons I’ve learned

Looking forward to connecting with more Local Guides from around the world!
