Hello there! Namaste!!
Even though I'm not new to Google Maps and Google Street View, Local Guides Connect is new to me as I joined this community only on December 2016. I don't see emails from Google Maps mentioning this Connect community, hence delay in joining and meeting minds alike here.
To start, let me introduce myself:
Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect.
Please take a moment to introduce yourself to the community.
To start, let me introduce myself:
- Name: Yanni
- Location: Singapore
- 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!
- I love to share: I love to share photos so that other Local Guides can see the world through my eyes.
- 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.
- 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, Matthew here from Boston MA I am new on here and have never posted but have been contributing reviews,photos and updates since late 2015. I started with reviews in San Diego California and love reading others reviews so I started adding a few myself. Then I loved sharing my own photos with others and felt adding more content would help others and local guides. After awhile I found myself addicted to posting on here not just for the other guides but people like myself who like to go on here to get info and find out there is much more to the Google maps than I thought and that's when I really found out what Local Guides was all about. I love to travel been traveling the USA all over for years now. and have visited 36 states. Now I have recently been to Asia and saw Vietnam,Thailand My goal now is to step foot in in all 7 continents while contributing more to Google.

Hello Local Guides,
I stumbled my way into this because google maps kept asking me questions and I kept answering them without realizing that there was a whole community behind the scenes. So, now that I am aware - HELLO!
Here's a photograph of my son and me, who's also horse-mad, from our trip to Yercaud Lake this weekend past.
