  3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love that I can share my experiences to help people make informed decisions. Time and money are limited, so it's important to be able to quickly assess a place. I also love that I can connect with people anywhere and feel like I'm a local even if I'm visiting a place for the first time. 
  4. I love to share: EVERYTHING I can. I love accurate and helpful information and Local Guides allows me to contribute that in five ways! 
  5. How did I hear about Local Guides: Like @Corrie, I work on the team but I've also been contributing to Google Maps since 2011 when I was a member of the community — just like all of you! 
  6. Fun Fact About Me: In high school, MTV's TRL (Total Request Live) was at the height of its career and I used to go to stand outside or be in the studio audience for the show as I was a huge music fan. 🙂 I'm even on their best of video, haha! Oh, I was also "the friend" on one of their shows, FANatic. 🙂
