Hi everyone!
My name is Gabriele,26,and I'm from Cosenza,a small city located in Southern Italy.
I'm currently studying social sciences at the university, but my greatest passion is the music, and just recently we've built up a recording studio with my friends and now we're planning to create our own label.
I've always been interested in technology and I'm always looking for new thing to satisfy my curiosity and expand my knowledge.
Since the first time I've loaded a picture on Maps , I've been immediately fascinated about this project, then I've tried to find out how it works.
It's been quite difficult at the beginning, but then i found out about the Local Guides program on Google, and everything has changed.
Everytime I visit a new place is an opportunity to share my experience with the others, and it feels like living it twice.
I've always been doing it for fun, but when I started to receive the first gifts from Google, then I've realized that maybe I could also get something back.
I started to take this thing seriously, trying to improve my reviews with more realistic pictures and accurate descriptions, in order to give a better service to the people and raise the importance of the program itself.
I've just finished to edit my Video Application for the LG Summit in San Francisco,and I hope that you're gonna like it and that i'll be chosen to attend the Summit.
Best wishes and I really hope to see you all in San Francisco.

Hi Connect community,
I am a European that, after having lived in a few different countries, has been fortunate enough to be able to call Toronto, Canada his home for the last few years. I am a traveler at heart who enjoys adventures, nature, and discovering new destinations. I use Google Maps daily as it allows me to quickly and easily find what I am looking for. I only learned about the Local Guides program recently, but have so far had a pleasant experience and enjoy contributing. I initially added a lot of my vacation photos and posted reviews about different tourist attractions, national parks, and hotels. But since I have also been regularly adding local reviews and plan on doing so with each business I discover. Having traveled quite a bit in my life, I understand that coming to a new city or country can be quite intimidating, so I hope my contributions to Google Maps make it a bit easier.
I am looking forward to meeting other passionate contributors at local events in Toronto!
