Hello Friends!
Welcome to Local Guides Connect.
To start, let me introduce myself:
04-30-2018 02:22 PM - edited 04-30-2018 02:51 PM
I want to give my city's guests the best experience in a short time.
And I share information about where they can taste the character and mood of my city.
I looking for many reviews of local guides and try to bring own contribution to the creation of the detailed and honest reviews. I see how other guides write about the city and famous places and I try to support this approach. Also my contribution is a demonstration that new local guides can also join our movement.

Hi there,
My name is Jorge Fantin, and I am from Argentina.
I started with Google Street View in 2015, as soon as the Trusted Photographers' Program was launched in my country.
Since then, I uploaded a lot of 360s showing beautiful places from my country, including golf courses and ski resorts.
My goal is to document and upload images from all my country´s golf courses so all of you, golf lovers, can know in advance what you can expect before
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina.
What I love about being a Local Guide: Being able to help people to learn about the world around them.
My favorite cuisine to explore: In Argentina you have to eat "asado". There are plenty of places where you can taste our delicious and tender beef - sorry vegetarians of the world 🙂 .
Fun Fact about me:
I wouldn´t say it is a fun fact, but it is a fact about me: I am a college professor, specialized in business strategy. I love teaching and being surrounded by talented and inspired people. So I split my time 50/50. Half of it teaching and consulting, and the other half visiting and documenting places.
All the best to all of you!
Jorge

Hello World!
Name: Hakam
Location: Maruthamunai, Sri Lanka nearby a beautiful sandy beach Bay of Bengal.
What I love about being a Local Guide: Helping others always enjoyable and gives a great satisfaction to the mind in turn it will help you from others. I like to show my society's unique culture and our landscape to the world and like to help them to travel and see our beaches, lakes paddy fields, lagoons, small islands, forest and our small birds.
My favorite cuisine to explore: Any food closer to nature usually not too modified. Like more veggies and herbals.
Fun Fact about me: I'm a medical doctor from Sri Lanka.
My relationship with the Google map actually started decades ago with Google Earth Desktop software which amazed the world of kids and adults equally. In my free time I contribute to google maps. Especially i liked to see and add the accessibility features in various places which helps people with special needs and differently abled.
I work in a government base hospital as a medical officer Haematology and pathology. In my day to day practice i meet many patients with disabilities due to various diseases especially some Haematological conditions like Haemophilia and othe bleeding disorders making children permanently disabled and need special care and accessibilities in day to day life.
I like to travel a lot and see various cultures and nature. As I was very keen in biodiversity in my school days it drives me to see those places in real. I travel to many local and international destinations with my family.
I like to share my experiences and knowledge about the places I know and I visit, so it can help others before they visit those places.
My personal view is, this world is not only for us but also for the children and adults with special needs and differently abled. That's our responsibility to make them see and enjoy this world equally like us without any barriers. That's how we humans differentiate ourselves from the world of animals by helping our weak ones to achieve more throughout their lives.
