Introduce Yourself — August 2023

[MashaPS]

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to our community.

As “Introduce Yourself” threads can be lengthy, we start a new one each month and lock past threads. You can check previous threads, like July's, to see who recently joined and where they’re from. We’ll merge any “I’m new” and “Hello world” posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.

Do you want to be featured in our monthly Introduce Yourself posts? Share your introduction in the comments, following the five prompts below, and a horizontal photo of yourself (in landscape mode). We will select one of the best introductions and include it in our next month’s post. Please note: Your response may be edited for clarity. By taking part in this challenge, you agree to allow us to share your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.

This month, meet @burakozkarakasli! Burak is a Local Guide Level 8, and here’s what he shared.

1. Name: Burak

2. Location: Istanbul, Turkey

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Creating lists for the countries I have visited to share my experiences in a way that everyone can access and see my recommendations.

4. My favorite thing to explore: New restaurants! As a foodie, I love tasting new dishes!

5. Fun fact about me: Travelling is my greatest passion, and before my trips, I love making detailed plans. My travel companions always enjoy the trips with me.

Nice to meet you, Burak! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Burak in the comments below and share your introduction, too.

It is a beautiful sight to see the human beings in this world working like a chain from the beginning to the end, each culture and heritage being passed on to other generations.Similarly, our family is moving forward in a very good way and it is very happy to know that people are getting the help they need through us.It gives a great meaning that if there is unity, we can lie beyond everything, and it is something that will be very useful to the people if we continue our work. Stay connected with the world

@NawazKader36 bienvenido a Connect, si solo hay una forma de avanzar en al siguiente nivel y seguir colaborando con Google Maps con fotos,videos, reseñas de buena calidad, preguntas rápidas.

Si puede ir viendo en el foro Hu mucha información como mejorar las fotos, o las reseñas de un lugar. 

Espero que haya sido de ayuda.
