Introduce Yourself — April 2018

[Limblaughlove]

1. Name: Jessie
2. Location: Milton, WI, USA. I lived in Northern California until I was in middle school. 
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I love taking pictures. Everyone always teases me for how many I take. I was so excited to learn about sharing my photos and reviews with Google. My dad got me started so now it’s turned into a competition. 
4. My favorite cuisine to explore: This is a hard one to answer because it depends which state I am in. Pizza is probably one of my favorites. I love finding local pizza places to see which ones are the best. Lots of people love pizza so it’s an easy one for people to relate to. 
5. Fun Fact about me: I am an amputee now after living with an injured foot for over 15 years. It was supposed to make my quality of life better but instead left me more disabled. I’ve decided that instead of waiting for the time when I am “better” that me and my family are going to live life to it’s fullest. This definitely works includes traveling. It gives me a lot of different perspectives that other people might not have.  One of our goals is to visit every baseball park that the Milwaukee Brewers play at!

Greetings!

I am Mohammad Azam Khan from originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh and currently living in Seoul, South Korea. I am a local guide that achieved level 6 and a Ph.D. student at Korea University.

Being a local guide, I love to share amazing photos of places so that people can get inspired to visit beautiful places. In addition, I wanna help to people with accessibility information of different places, and to share discoveries people might not see!

I am really happy to be a member of this great community because Google maps really make traveling easier for billions of people worldwide.

One of my photos reaches ~400K views within a short period of time! let's contribute more to Google's maps for organizing the world's information in Google's way which may impact billion of people worldwide every day. Thank you.

Well, this is embarrassing but better late than never?

My name is Minal and I am a level 7 local guide. What defines me is that I am vegetarian foodie but sometimes get adventurous! I grew up vegetarian and I would like to help other local guides. Mostly, I like to focus on adding new businesses and help those who don't have any website or information on their location. I love to travel too so it's great to add touristic places. I try to also look for eat-out places that are low cost but have a good ambiance. That is what I started with as I was a student, which was important to save up but also get to enjoy outdoors. 

I moved to beautiful BC, 7 years ago and since then I have discovered and been on the mission of discovering new places and meeting people internationally in university.  I am bit of an introvert so Google local guides is a great way to get outside my comfort zone and do something for the community. When I started reviewing places there was no incentive to it but I just wanted to contribute and help out--there is lot that can be accomplished as a community. I was shocked when Google local guide team actually invited people over to SF and gave us incentives and this snowballed into a great huge hit!! CanadaBelgiumGermanyDenmark
