Introduce Yourself - March 2017

The "Introduce Yourself" threads (you can find Jan 2017 and Feb 2017) get really long so we start new ones regularly and lock the old ones. Be sure to check the old threads to see who already joined and where they are from. 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.

 

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: Yanni
  2. Location: Singapore
  3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: A single contribution from a Local Guide on Google Maps can help users around the world make informed decisions that could result in a wonderful experience. Amazing!
  4. I love to share: I love to share photos so that other Local Guides can see the world through my eyes.
  5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I was sharing a review of a place on Google Maps and was prompted to join Local Guides.
  6. Fun Fact About Me: I love photography and hoped that I could be a nature photographer next time. That’s me attempting to shoot a quokka that sneaked up on me!

Your turn next!

Hello From Steve Boykin in Glendale, California

Hello Fellow Local Guides Throughout the World,

                           I am happy and proud to be part of this special group. I am a Professional Handyman by Trade here in Glendale, Ca, which is a suburb of Los Angeles, CA. I am also an Advanced Amateur Photographer, with aspirations to become a Professional Photographer. I am quite a **####** good Handyman and also quite an Excellent Photographer. I enjoy sharing my Photographs and I like to take lots of pictures, not only with my HTC One Smart Phone, but also my Nikon D 5100 Professional Camera.

                           Here are some of my recent photos. AF1QipNpEFOXoC43wYzU0j1TPGirIrPZOw1o_1PQnybT

Hello,

 

I also live in Glendale Ca, and I am having fun being a "local guide".

I didn't realize how many places I actually go to in the course of my 

life, that I have gone to, and have never reviewed. I am working on

fixing that! Maybe sometime we can meet up!

Hi @StephenB66 Welcome to Local Guides Connect, it would be good before adding the contribution that you read these rules. If you have an interesting story from a place where you have a photo, you can share that with us.If you imagine serve to this Introduce-Yourself-February-2017. Using the Forums contains a number of threads which you may find helpful for navigating Connect in general. Good luck.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Hello world, my name is David Charles Bonnici. I'm a late newcomer here.  I'd really like to introduce myself properly to Local Guides Connect and see where this can lead me.  I was born in Canada, in a town called, Windsor.  The town of Windsor, is located in the Province of Ontario, Canada.  Us people in Windsor call it The Rose City.  It is the most populated Southern - East part of Canada.  We board the United States of America.  Just a river seaperates us from the city of Detroit, Michagan.  I know my nationality is Maltese.  Both my parents are from the Island of Malta, my mother immagrated to the U.S.A. , and my father to Canada.  As I mature and get wisdom from learning things about people from other parts of the world, I come to realize it don't matter what nationality we are.  What matters is how we communicate and learn to live as human beings.  That is why I love and enjoy having the privilege to be a local guide.
