I started the local guide on November 11, 2017. Today is just the first year.
At that time, I had no imagination that I could have such experience and friends!
(Copyright © 2018 Google)
I have made almost 200 international friends in just one year😍 And, I could not be the top in Japan so far, but suddenly I was awarded the world's best in one genre😲
If you are a beginner you may not believe what I say. But I was a layman who did not even know the meaning of "meet-up". Again, I never thought that such a future would come!!
This is my first post. It symbolizes Sendai where there is a city in the forest.
I continued the review of the place, but I was heavily affected by the traffic accident, and there was a restriction on going out. I thought about how I would contribute.
The answer is "add place"📍
I had a sleep deprivation due to an accident. Yes, it is the idea of reversal. I have time!🤔 And I have a history of the delivery staff at transport and post office, so already knew what is in my locals. I continued adding places while checking with the paper map📖
What is your favorite field, and "What is something you can not do?"
I reached level 10 in two months from the start🎊
I joined the local guide connect after this.
@OSAMA first noticed me and praised it very much👏
He introduced many guides to me who have no friends yet.
After that, I made Japanese @HiroyukiTakisawa and some friends, They were friendly and cooperative from the beginning. I posted to introduce Japanese cherry blossom while learning from them. Since the cherry blossom viewing in Japan was attracting attention from the world, there were many reactions from the world🌸
I learned that there is a thing called "Connect Live". But initially, I thought it was an event not related to me as a beginner. Then friends @HiroyukiTakisawa and moderators @KarenVChin said "It is better for you to apply" several hours before the deadline. I hurriedly created an interview movie and applied, but I thought that it would probably be rejected as it is a beginner😌
However, I got the notification of "adoption" quietly by gmail!📩 In this way, I had valuable experience at Google head office with many international friends in just a year. And I officially awarded the world record!!👨👩👧👦👨👨👧🥇✨
You are a beginner who starts a Local Guide and is looking for friends with unfamiliar Connect. But there is nothing to be afraid of😉 If you are polite and you can imagine a good future, you can have the same experience as me. I am convinced that✨

Amazing history @YasumiKikuchi! Didn't know you had an accident.
I hope everything is ok now! 🙂
Thanks for adding so many places to maps.
I hope one day I will visit many of them!
Happy mapping! 🙂

Wow, this is unbelievable @YasumiKikuchi, 👏👏👏, from start to level 10 in just 2months.
I am so sure you must have been an ardent and assiduous mapper to have achieved that feat.
I am really wowed by your achievements and motivated by your experience.
I would love to learn a thing or the other from you, perhaps a few more details that time and space couldn't permit you to share on this post.
Thanks for sharing.
