Hi Every one !!!

What I like to be a local guide : I love to Photograph and write comments.
Why ? Because it’s a own satisfaction to help other to find the best spots.
My specialty is to find news places, restaurants that don't appear on google maps.
How did I hear about local guides :
I have sought a good restaurant and i have found one thanks to the opinion and the photo that were posted on google maps, and it’s when I’ve understood that I could help other people too.
Fun Fact about me :
I’ve always liked to help others, and I have always full of ideas to remake the world.
Hi @modernteaist, you're welcome to LGC. What a great collection of pictures you've got!!!

I'm Michael Weissman, a local guide in Los Angeles, though I travel quite a bit and always make sure to leave reviews wherever I go.
I love contributing to Maps, and use it primarily to create fun travel itineraries and help people with real reviews from local spots. My favorite spots are usually local favorites, or any of "the best" certain foods from different areas.
I'm also a theme park enthusiast, and have recently completed the world tour of Disney parks, and of course left thorough reviews of the attractions and lands in each park.
I really like the idea of local guides, and feel I can trust those reviews more so than on yelp or tripadvisor. I'm always happy when I look up a place and see a "local guide" review listed 🙂
Great to digitally meet you all, and feel free to reach out!
