Fazeel Usmani - a local guides meetup enthusiast. My journey with Local Guides

 Hi, my name is Fazeel Usmani from Hyderabad, India. I'm studying BIT at MVSR Engineering College and my hobbies are photography, travelling, trying different cuisines and knowing stuff related to technology.

 

 

Why I contribute to Maps?

Google Maps has been my trusted companion for last 2 years helping me navigate cities in India and Saudia during my travels. Google Maps has definitely done its best and now it's my turn to return back the favour with local guides programme. Thanks, Google for this amazing opportunity.

On 3rd of September 2016, Google inspired me by offering a beautiful badge and a cool LocalGuides notebook for my consistent contributions to Maps.

 

My Local Guides Profile:           

            Being a dynamic supporter of Google Maps I have got 82,000+ points for my contributions and my 10,000+ photos have accumulated over 21.3 million views. My reviews are doing well and loved by 5,500 users. I've answered 600+ questions on Maps and my profile has been an inspiration to more than 4,00,000 users. This not only helps local businesses to grow but also users to know more about the place. I'm also a Google Street View Trusted Photographer.

             I cherish interacting with other local guides through local guides connect and have earned 34 badges by posting over 700 times and getting 2018+ kudos. I've used 3100+ tags to make searching on Connect easier, faster and even more accurate. I used to read various threads on Connect and have read around 35,000 messages.

       Connecting virtually through local guides connect can't persuade me in hosting and attending meetups. This year has been quite recently fantastic, the level of help and inspiration that originated from numerous individuals and pioneers in the groups that I have been engaged with. The underneath is only a portion of the feature meetups that I have hosted and participated in.

After attending this meetup I've gained huge confidence and wanted to host one. In this food crawl, I've learnt many things and shared some as well.

 

I have applied for my first meetup in the next month i.e in July. Surprisingly it got accepted and I was dangling with joy. Then I shared about it in all social media websites and waiting for the day of the meetup. Now, here my local guide journey starts as a host.

Do I like Local Guide program? 

No, I don't like it but I love to be a part of it. Suppose, if you like a flower then you'll pluck it but if you love it, then you water it daily ---- Gautama Budha. I'll be the perpetual contributor to Google Maps and I'm very proud of it.

 

It will be amazing to meet top local guides from around the globe face to face and google maps initiative to share thoughts for enhancing maps for everybody.
