3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Still learning it, reading it, exploring. This program already does me to stop at the places I usually do not. Visit the empty spots on the map.

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. 

I will get us started:

3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love that no matter where I am in the world, I can open Google Maps and get great recommendations from people who's opinions I trust. I can also meet up with wonderful people who I have met through this truly global program 🙂
4. I love to share: I love to share photos! Seeing how many views they get and knowing how many people they help (and the businesses too!) makes me want to keep sharing. 
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I work on the team and helped create it 🙂

2. Location: Lyttelton, New Zealand
3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Being a local guide gives me a chance to contribute to a service that has made my life easier since 2005. It also gives me a chance to geek out with maps (which I've always been interested in).
4. I love to share: Information about sights and businesses that aren't on the map yet. Even in my own village there were hundreds of locations with no listing when I started.  
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I got an invite to Local Guides because I've been creating and sharing maps from my google account for many years.
6. Fun Fact About Me: We discovered that the directions voice for Google maps can change. In October 2013 we were driving around Bharain for a few weeks and half way through our trip the Google directions voice changed from being a woman to that of a man.
