My name is Pavel Sarwar. I am an Entrepreneur, Community Leader, Food Lover & a Level 8 Google Local Guide. I am from Bangladesh. Now I am living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I live like a Local anywhere I go!

 

Personally I love traveling, taking photos, and eating at different restaurants. As a traveler and explorer, I use Google Maps almost every day. I love to discover new places and I love to take photos. With Local Guides, I can help any other travelers also. I feel I am helping people in my community. Out of seven kinds of Local Guides, I am the Visualist and the Trailblazer.

I joined Local Guides program in 20 February 2015.  2015 I started Unofficial Community- Mymensingh Local Guides. Last year, I moved from Bangladesh to Malaysia and joined Malaysia Local Guides. My favorite part of Local Guides is Local Guides Connect and MeetUps.

As a user of Google Maps, Google Maps and Local Guides program helps me lot. Especially when I travel abroad or locally. Example; During the summit last year, I thought Sumaiya would get a visa, Unfortunately she did not get a visa.  I did not do any such plan for after summit. I could not join with any group. I bought a mobile SIM but it was not working. That time, realized, I am a local guide, why i need other person for travel in San Francisco. Using hotel wifi I download offline maps, did quick visit in Local Guides Connect posts from 2016 summit attendees about San Francisco and I've traveled whole San Francisco alone.

Local Guides program is my emotion. Local Guides are like my family. It’s now part of my life. My wife @SumaiyaZafrin also a Level 8 Local Guides. So every day we discuss Local Guides. When Sumaiya arranges a meet-up, I try to help her. When I arrange one Sumaiya helps me lot. We discuss our contributions, photo views, quality reviews, etc. Local Guides helps us to spend more time together. Local Guides makes our relationship closer.

Connect is best platform for me to connect with all awesome local guides around the world. Every Google Moderators, Connect moderators and Local Guides is very helpful. Every day I try once to visit Local Guides Connect.  From Local Guides program I get many friends from different county, different language, different religion.

When I lived in Bangladesh, that time it was easy for me to arrange meetups and events. As a expatriates in Malaysia it’s quit hard to arrange but I trying my best for arranging meetups. I try to join most of the meetups organized by Malaysia Local Guides.

I attended Local Guides Summit 2017. Those are my best memorable days. Be a Local Guide summit attendee I could meet and Hangout with 151 awesome Local Guides and 80 Googlers around the globe.

I love to take selfie. During last year summit I tried to take selfie with almost all attendees and Googlers. I also love to jump. Jumping @TraciC is my jumping idol and Local Guides Mentor. 

 

After LG Summit 2017,  Local Guide Tory and me are about to get a lesson in molding clay and painting ceramics at a local DIY shop in San Francisco.  Learning How to Make Ceramics - Artist for a Day

 

My advice for someone just getting started with Local Guides program is first, spend some quality time on Local Guides Connect. See how others in the community are doing. Arrange meet-ups. Please contribute on Local Guides to be a good citizen. Don’t focus on points.

 

My aim is to create something helpful for millions of people using Google Maps. I want to attend Local Guides Connect Live for learn more about the Local Guides program from awesome Local Guides and Googlers around the globe and also share my experience with them. 

Proud to be a Local Guide.
