Re: Introduce Yourself - January 2017

Hi Corrie! Thanks for the intro guide. This format makes it easy. 😉

 

Hi Everyone,

 

Here's an intro from me:

CuberdonCuberdon

 

 

  • Name: Allison
  • Location: Toronto, ON, CANADA
  • What do I love about being a Local Guide: 

          1) I have a passion for maps. I love the immediacy of the sharing in the Google Maps app, the ability to put markers where they should be (close to entrances, where people can access a store or restaurant, versus in a street or parking lot).  

          2) I love pointing out great places to my friends, adore culture, and this provides a global forum for sharing and learning from others!

          3) Supporting local, small businesses is so worthwhile, and I hope this program helps the gems out there become more visible.

 

  • I love to share: I'm a foodie and photographer who loves to take and share un-Photoshopped images of great plates served in restaurants - or from festivals and food trucks.

 

  • How did I hear about Local Guides: I received an invite from Google and it sounded intriguing.

 

  • Fun Fact About Me: I am a big Disney fan. Have spent lots of time at Disneyland. I've been to 3 of the Disney parks (Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Paris) and look forward to seeing the others in the coming years.
