1. Name: Joseph
2. Location: Bangkok, Thailand
3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: I really like cleaning up Google Maps. Here's a story that happened shortly after I started...My hometown only has 1000 people, and only a few dozen businesses, but after I realized that I could fix things, I spent all night one night cleaning up all of the issues with my hometown.
4. I love to share: Making map edits is my favorite thing, but I also take a lot of pictures. I love it when I find a map listing without a picture, and then Google puts my picture as the main picture for the business listing. I also like taking photosphere pictures.
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I accidentally clicked some button on Google Maps a long time ago, and that made me a Local Guide
6. Fun Fact About Me: I think that I've contributed more pictures of 7-Elevens than anyone else to Google Maps. I've submitted photographs of more than 500 different 7-Elevens that have been accepted on Google Maps.
