Introduce Yourself

[FaridTDF]

1. Nombre: Farid
2. Localización: Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
3. ¿Qué es lo que me gusta de ser un guía local: Me gusta mucho el proyecto, fundamentalmente el poder conocer lugares y leer a otros en sus post, es una manera de conocer la manera de pensar de personas que visitamos el mismo lugar, por otro lado esta el tema de las fotos geolocalizadas, que es en primera medida lo que me atrae desde la plataforma de Panoramio, hoy es mucho mas que esas dos cosas, ya que esta tambien la comunidad de las cuales formo parte donde la interrelacion con los demas es masr rica que solo el comentario de un sitio y la foto, los dialogos que se generan en ocaciones , justifica todo este esfuerzo, ya que permite que uno intercambie ideas y experiencias con personas muy diferentes a uno. Y ahora esta nueva herramienta tan interesante y dinámica, esta buena. Ahora somos globales :).
4. Me encanta compartir: Me encanta compartir fotos, comentarios de sitios, y experiencias, ayudar a otros a encontrar el mejor lugar o indicar correctamente porque tal o cual lugar no es tan bueno. 
5. ¿Cómo me entero de guías locales:  fue una evolucion de las distintas plataformas que tenía google  primero Panoramio, luego google Maps, despue View y asi sigue la lista hasta llegar a Local Guides. 
6. Dato curioso Acerca de mí: Me gusta ver series de televición y leer ciencia ficción, tengo un perro llamado Chester y peces de colores, pero lo que mas me gusta es viajar y sacar fotos, estamos aprendiendo permanentemente.

3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love helping people choose a place to go, help them decide if that place is good for them so eveyone can have a good experience everywhere. For example, I had a lot of problems with places that are suposedly good for children but end up being a waste of time and money and I'd hate for that to happen to someone else.

5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I've been leaving reviews before the Local Guides program existed so I heard about the launch from an email the Google Maps team sent me or the Google Maps G+ page (Probably both). While writing this I found my welcome mail saying I started as a level 2 and that was on February 2015
6. Fun Fact About Me: I always loved technology in general and I sometimes play with my 5 year old son and my 3 year old daughter with Google doing voice searches for pictures or fun stuff they like. The funny part is that sometimes when I say "OK" to my son for something he said, he now replies "Ok, Google" and smiles
