Introduce Yourself - July 2017

As "Introduce Yourself" threads get quite long, we start new ones regularly and lock the old ones. Be sure to check the old threads, such as the June one, to see who already joined and where they are from (simply search "Introduce Yourself"). If you're new, please use this thread to post your "I'm new" or "Hello world" posts. We will move any posts we find into here to keep the site organized.

 

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the community.

 

To start, let me introduce myself: 

  1. Name: Luis
  2. Location: London (but I'm from Madrid, Spain)
  3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Giving back to the community. I always use Google Maps and Local Guides content when traveling to find new places and to decide whether a place is good or not. So I want to do the same with the places I visit. 
  4. I love to share: I love reviews and photos. Especially photos!
  5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I was a Local Guide even before joining the team, that's how much I love being one 🙂
  6. Fun Fact About Me: I love burgers, trains and photography. You can see me in the picture giving a talk about night photography using tripods.Screen Shot 2017-07-03 at 9.06.56 AM.png

Re: Introduce Yourself - July 2017

Hello/नमस्कार/¡Hola! Fellow guides, I would like to thank all local guides for being here, contributing to the map and thus revealing the world day by day. Again I am thankful to all guides for their love, support & encouragement. Since my birth date is July 10 so this is my month.

  1. Name: Bishowvijaya Pandey
  2. Location: Kathmandu, Nepal
  3. Bishowvijaya PandeyBishowvijaya Pandey
  4. What do I love being a Local Guide: Every year approx. 800 thousand foreigners visit my nation. Looking around a map I can see that the most tourist destinations are already been there in the map. But there are more such areas of public concern like hospitals, schools, emergency services, security offices and a lot more which are, I think, mandatory in map & are still few in number. Being a local guide I love to add them in the map. Also there are a lot of places over the country which are yet to be explored in the map. Since there is unmanaged urbanization so places are difficult to be found. So my sole intension is to ease the commune life and explore the nation over the world. I am in accordance with the motto of LG Connect: 'Spread the love and get some back'. Also the occurrence of devastating earthquake in 2015 made me feel the necessity and importance of map a lot. Since a lot of guides are exploring the places so why not me. Contributing to the map is also being sociable more than before. I always love to be sociable. Also this LG program is helping us to find people around us with same motto.
  5. I love to share: Photos, reviews and additional information of the places in a map,  My opinions over the posts, experiences, achievements, posts helpful to new LGs, stories about the places and many more in LG forum.
  6. How did I hear about Local Guides: Actually I am unsure how I entered here but I am sure that I am not here by any referral. Since 2 years ago I tried to add places in mapmaker but my contributions were denied. Then I left mapmaker. Later I thought to add birthplace to the map. At that time I found the new platform; Google map. It fascinated me a lot.
  7. Fun Fact About Me: I love to visit new places not even in group only but also alone too. I love to observe different realms of nature very closely. My subject of interest are Physics and literature. To be bearded sometimes is also my hobby. I have more or less knowledge of five different languages. Researching in mysterious events or places falls under my interest.

Thanks a lot for providing your valuable time to read this post. You all are welcomed to be my friend here. Check my profile and hit the 'Add Friend' button.

How did I hear about Local Guides: Probably the algorithm of Google maps caught me red handed giving ratings on the maps. As a result, received an email on 5th May, 2017 welcoming me as a Local Guide in the fabulous world of enriching the Google maps...Bada Imambada, residence of former ruler of Awadh (Luchknow), India...Bada Imambada, residence of former ruler of Awadh (Luchknow), India...
