1. Name: Alex

2. Location: New York City (originally from Singapore)

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I'm starting to like making lists. I like telling businesses positives, I like telling them what they're doing right. Businesses of all sizes need to hear "the good", not just complaints. I'm a very positive person and while I wish I could blink my eyes and change human nature to be praise-oriented instead of complaint-oriented, I know I can't do that, so writing reviews on Google Maps, for me, acts as that "substitute". How I heard of Local Guides: I don't remember. Someone discussed it in-person with me in 2015 but I don't think she's active anymore but I believe I had heard about it prior to 2015.

4. Favorite thing to explore:  This neighborhood. I've lived in this area (see 5) for nearly 11 years and I still don't know everything. 

5. Fun Fact about me: I'm extremely social and I believe in "in real life" social. Years ago I grew snapdragon flowers from seeds. The more interesting facts are in the neighborhood actually. It's known the world over as "Times Square" Manhattan (where the New Year's Eve ball drops), and most people assume it's just big corporations here. This is largely true, but I also estimate around 3,000 people call Times Square home, and I'm one of them. street art by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra

Hi everyone.

3.My favorite challenge about being a Local Guide: Still in Program about years, but the information on Google Maps helps many groups (local business, customers) people searching for accessibility places.

And, of course, I like the access to new resources. 🙂

When I need a information in Maps and for many times receive excellent results, I think: I can't believe, this amazing program it's a freeware, without payment or financial donations? Isn't a shareware?

Yes, it's really great and free Program.
Then I figured out, no way, I need to contribute, give this services back.

Go to upload, update!
