Introduce Yourself - February 2017

[BellaWi]

The "Introduce Yourself" threads (you can find Dec 2016 and Jan 2017) get really long so we start new ones regularly and lock the old ones. Be sure to check the old threads to see who already joined and where they are from. If you're new, please use this thread to post your "I'm new" or "Hello world" posts. We will move any we find into here to keep the site organized. 

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. 

Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the community. 

To start, let me introduce myself: 

1. Name: Bella 
2. Location: Singapore (originally from Jakarta, Indonesia)
3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Not only I can help others in finding the right places to go but also meeting fellow explorers around the globe.  I always love the local insights shared by Local Guides about their city. Thanks to our Taipei's Local Guides and @YK1001, I have new favorite coffeeshop in Taipei (and I bought the beans back home). 🙂
4. I love to share: It is hard to choose, I love to share everything. But I always starts by taking photos (while waiting for my order) then move on to writing reviews.
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I became a Local Guides in 2015 and joined this awesome team in 2016. 
6. Fun Fact About Me: For unknown reason, my friends always ask my help to open their water bottles/jam jars (maybe my success rate is higher). 😛

Now it's your turn.
