12646876_10208936938923779_2974350753961305170_o.jpgWell, hi! I'm Nicholas. I recently became a level 3 local guide and decided to join this site after receiving an email about it. Seems good. Most of my content is for the state of Victoria (Australia), and mostly for places that students or low-income people would go. I used to use Yelp a lot a couple of years ago (was Yelp Elite) and my tagline on my profile was "Yelping on a student budget", which always got a laugh out of people I met through there. Since Google's Local Guides thing came out, Yelp shut down its face-to-face events in Australia, so I kinda had no choice but to start using this. But it's not all doom and gloom. Google Maps is a pretty damned good bit of software to have for free, and in-turn I don't mind contributing to it for free. I hope to be able to meet other students or people just starting their careers who live in Melbourne or Geelong areas and go on foodie-nights together sometimes XD
