Hello I am new here. I already try to do an introduction, but seems that I do something wrong. I can't found it anywhere.

Let's try again!

1. Name: Sergio Bino

2. Location: São Paulo, Brazil

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I started as a local guide unexpectedly. I was in a Star Trek convention in Vegas, using Maps as my navigator through teh streets, taking a lot of photos. Then the app ask if I want to share some. I never thinked about it. I already saw and use the photos in Maps to knew more about a place. But I share my photos? I start in that moment. So in a short time people had seen them. And I think: I can help people! Is the way I found to retribute, to show beatiful places, to guide people in their ways.
At first I posted the photos I had, simply because I felt I could help someone.  
Then I started thinking about what to post, how to take better photos, not so much in quality, but thinking of being more significant, more usefull. Then I started to post reviews too and now I`am always doing this.

4. Hobbies: Attend concerts of classic music and rock concerts. Watch tv series. And travel or if I can't travel, walk in my city. Travel for me is walk. Walk in the streets, eat local food, talk to shopkeepers, waiters on restaurants. Visit the tourist hotspots, but not only then.  

5. My favorite cuisine to explore: I have some favorite foods. And I like to explore many others.  Chinese, Thay, Italian, Mexican, Brazilian, French, British. Try new flavors.

6. Fun Fact about me: I am a little shy, so at the beginning I observe much. And in a moment I could not explain, I begin to talk, talk, listen and talk, talk and listen. I love discover that people separated by an ocean can had dreams and whishes in common. it's so magic! And so human!

Hello World,

Vikram Shetty from Bengaluru, Karnataka, IN

Google Maps has been my go to place to explore the destination I am travelling, browsing through the photos and reviews of places, to plan on my trip. I try to give back to community by reviewing and adding the photos, I have not been an active one, hoping to change that in 2018. 

Of all the food I have tried till date, Other than the home food, I just love Italian and Mexican dishes.

I like to explore the maps, travel places and help by contributing to maps by suggesting map edits and add missing places too. Photography is my passion, when I am out I keep clicking at random, yet interesting things.
