Hi fellow Local Guides,
how are you?
I just wanted to give you a quick overview of what you can achieve within a couple of months 🥇
I started contributing in September 2017 and this is how the map of Manhattan looks like after four months:
As of right now, I wrote 462 reviews, have almost 5,000,000 photo views and more than 30,000 points 😍 I'm striving for Level 9!
Whenever Google sends me an e-mail informing about a "new record"(e.g. 350,000 people read your reviews) I am really happy to have been helpful to so many people traveling NYC.
@VBenedict @LawrenceNYC @Osaka78forTRUMP how do your home town maps look like? :))
Today, I am leaving NYC and will become a Local Guide in Munich, my hometown in Germany.
It was nice experiencing NYC and hope to meet-up with Local Guides in Munich.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Best,
Maria

Hi @MiaMaria
You did a lot in NYC maps, it's a beauty of local guide programme that our foot prints are everywhere, even we are not there.
Thanks for sharing
Have a nice stay in Munich.

@MiaMaria that is amazing! I would be interested how many of those reviews were the first review, my thought is that Manhattan is so heavily populated that it would be very hard to be the first one to review a business.

Yes it’s hard to find a place that has no reviews! But mostly citi bike stations or bus station had 0 reviews so I did some of them 😉

Bravo and thank you, @MiaMaria, for adding your contributions to Google Maps where I will surely come across them in my explorations!
I hope you enjoy being back home and hope we get to meet if you return to NYC. It's been a crazy year for sure!

Bon Voyage @MiaMaria
Gute Reise...
Hope that you learned positive things about our NEW YORK City culture.
Lots to think about...

Hi @MiaMaria, so happy that you move to Munich. So close to Italy, so close to Venice (where we are planning a meetup).
Hope to see you soon around here

Dear @MiaMaria, hope all's well. Thanks for sharing your awesome story. It's great to hear your travels. Yes, our hometown of Busselton is looking good with our contributions concentrated across Australia and spreading around the world. Merry Christmas and all the very best wishes to you for 2018.
