The most interesting thing I've done as a local guide : Taking Pictures

I always love taking pictures since high school. I think photos can capture memory that is impossible to reproduce. I become passionate and always like to take photos every time I visit new places. Taking photos makes me happy.

When I know that the photos I post on Google maps can help many people, both visitors and business owners, it creates another level of happiness. It’s like your hobby being your charity. What can make you happier than that?

I like to take various kinds of pictures. view, people, food. My friends often get upset every time I want to take pictures of food. But this is rather interesting now because I know that I will post these photos on Google maps and many people would be helped.

Here are three of my most viewed photos on Google Maps. From the best camera services in Medan, to the Senar Senja Band concert venue at the University of Sumatra Utara and the beautiful agrotourism sites in Medan.

1. Bluetwo Camera Service

I visited this place because I wanted to fix my broken camera. I still remember I almost gave up to find a place to fix my camera since the place i visited before took a long time. the moment I know about this place I immediately check the place but unfortunately there was lack of information about this place, the location, the person in contact, etc. when I finally discovered the place, i tried to give my best photos and review on Google maps so there will be no other people like me. it comes out to be my first most viewed photo on Google maps and become my milestone on contributing more qualified review.

2. Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sumatera Utara

I still remember, i posted this photo some days after there was a concert at this place. the concert was quiet epic so I think that’s why this photos get so many views. this is a classroom of agribusiness major, agricultural faculty, University of Sumatera Utara. I took this photo since I am also a student t this place.

3. Agritourism Pematang Johar Village

I visited this place before the place was officially launched. this place is surrounded by paddyfield that looks like a green carpet. I always like this kind of view since i am also an agricultural student. when I entered this place, the visitors are welcomed by a traditional music that made us feel the village vibes.

Taking and adding photos on Google Maps is not only be a way to express my hobby, but also a small action to make an impact. Through this action, I can help customers who need to find what they are looking for, help local businesses to grow and make friends.

I have been passing by this beautiful lake whe to go to the site of my client for Quality Management System consultation.

I always ask the driver to stopping by in this location just for smell the fresh water of Lake Toba, feel the nice scenery while zipping the Sidikalang coffee.
