• What I love about being a Local Guide: It is very good to keep my good memories and records about the visiting to places that I would like to share them with others. I also get a lot of good information from people so I feel that it is necessary to pay it forward
• I love sharing: Besides mapping, I love making records – photos, notes, and things so wherever I go I try to take nice pictures to post them on Google Maps & sharing my experience with others.
• How did I hear about Local Guides: I saw people contributing to local guide programme I was just being passive end user using the information to decide which restaurants, hotels and places to visit. But after few days when I was traveling I found this amazing community on google maps. That was a very happiest moment for me.
• Fun & Fact About Me: I have been wandering around the world since my teenage days – studied in Canada in 1997 till 2003 for highschool and univ then joined the ROK (Republic of Korea) army for two years then started my volunteer work in Bhutan – one of the happiest country in the world in 2006. Since then I worked and lived in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, South Africa, Swaziland and now South Sudan.

What do I love about being a Local Guide: I get to share my favorite places with others! There are so many trails and natural features I know that aren't on the maps *yet*!!
I love to share: Hiking trails, honest yet cheeky reviews for mom and pop shops, and photos with a new perspective on locations.
How did I hear about Local Guides: A message popped up on my phone about it and I've been addicted ever since!
Fun Fact: I'm a photographer. I do a lot of event & model photography. I love representing a person's story through images.
Me goofing off at work. We were doing a photo set in a lake at night using waterproof string lights and LEDs to illuminate the subjects.
There is no doubt that your contribution in map is too much valuabl
