I won't have wonderful highly motivated guys like you as my fellows if there was no connect platform. So thanks to the Google team for providing this platform.
LOCAL GUIDE POET
Local Guide Connect (a poem based on connect theme)
Billions of people billions of face !
The common place of all is local guide connect !!
Adding the places missing on maps, long nights on connect taking a nap !
That's what we always prefer to do, I am the one and the next is you !!
Let's Go Food, Let's Go Food (a poem for worldwide food crawl)
Wherever you go whenever you move !
A hungry belly is always with you !!
Happy New Year 2075 (a poem to wish fellows a New Year greeting)
Again and again counting the days !
New morning became shining the rays !!
This is me Bishowvijaya Pandey from Kathmandu, Nepal whom you may have found in various posts of connect. I love researching, travelling and writing. Being a local guide I've not only contributed in Google map and local guide connect but also helped fellows to host meetups, to write recaps etc. I work as an instructor.
HOW DID I JOIN LOCAL GUIDE CONNECT?
I always wanted to add my birth place in Google map but couldn't be able to do that in mapmaker. Always trying to that one day I found Local Guide Connect platform and new platform of Google map with easiness to add information enticed me to continue as a Google Local Guide. Now it became a good addiction.
WHAT MAKES ME A LOCAL GUIDE?
Google has entitled me with a recognition as a local guide as I've submitted its criteria. Beside that the eagerness to enlighten the hidden gems in my locality, the desire to help small businesses around a town, the platform to share places I visit to the world, the willingness to interact with like-minded people around the world, the interest in writing etc. are the factors that stimulate to remain active as a local guide.
WHAT I'VE EARNED AS A LOCAL GUIDE?
WHY THE ONE MAN COMMUNITY?
Once I had hosted and attended a meet up in parallel with Worldwide PhotoWalk event solely. In a video I'd presented myself as one man community because of this some fellows recognize me with this title. Seeing many participants in my recent meetups I use to be told that I am no more one community. I am the member of many local guide communities in Google plus. Also I have hosted and participated in meetups of different communities within the nation like Nepal Local Guides, Rapti Local Guides, Mid Nepal Local Guides etc. The cooperation is elongated to the international communities through worldwide meetups. I felt that I have been noticed when Comilla local guides from Bangladesh sent me a badge and t-shirt of their community. I use to hear from many local guides that there is no one to join the event in my area so how to host a meetup. I always suggest them to host a meetup and let other find that meetup or let other know about local guide program through their meetup. Be like a one man community and meet up with local businesses around there. I am still the one man community because I never cancel a meetup because of being alone. Till now I have conducted two meetups lonely.
AM I SATISFIED?
No I am not. If I would have satisfied then I would never have posted in feedback & feature request section or would have adhered at particular level. My dissatisfaction is always for innovation, betterment, improvements and positivism. But I am cautious that my dissatisfaction lie within the terms and conditions that I agreed upon.

One man community, one who never cancels a meetup.... this is inspirational and quite a resume. People like you inspire us to be more than we are, knowing we are not alone and that we just simply enjoy being a local guide but part of a worldwide community of friends. I like your writing skills

@BishowvijayaP
You are such one out of many amazing fellow local guides, I've found via LG connect. As you said a one man community, I agree with those who use to call you with this name, But I personally think that the profile of a poet suits you much better π
I am very happy to count you & your amazing community members in my friend list π
I wish you best of luck for your connect live application.
