introductions I probably could not have made us to know each other but I am sure we can share stories, because in every time and place each one has a different impression. I come from a country Indonesia and reside in an area that may be limited for reviews on social media or time travelers mostly, let's see how can I review places in my area ...

Hi! I'm a level 4 Local Guide but I've only just discovered this community - so here I am, diving in head first!
Name: Kay
Location: Berlin, Germany - aka the best city in the world
What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love the idea that if I have a great experience somewhere, with a single review I can both help that business and at the same time help other people find it and have a great experience too. I live in a city that gets a lot of tourists, and I like helping people find the interesting out of the way places and avoid the tourist traps. And it thrills me no end when I'm in a foreign city and looking for coffee or food and find a recommendation for a great place nearby.
I love to share: I'm a photographer so obviously I love to share photos, but the text is really important too. When I write a review I look at what the other reviews of the same place *aren't* saying and try to include helpful details that others overlook. Or if I feel that a review that has been left is unfair, I try to provide a balanced view.
How did I hear about Local Guides: The first reviews I wrote were for cafes that I found and really loved - I wanted to help other people find them too. Then I was invited to the Local Guides program and found it quite addictive!
Fun Fact About Me: I'm originally from Australia, I've lived for five years now in Berlin, and while I love it, I'm not such a fan of winter - so for the last three years I've spent the cold months in sunny countries, working remotely. This gives me TONS of opportunities to post photos and reviews. I'm also a huge heavy metal fan \m/

Hi there Local Guides around the world!!! Let me introduce myself...
Name: João

What do I love about being a Local Guide: When I need to find anything about a place, the contributions from other Local Guides like myself are SUPER USEFUL in the decisions I make everyday!
I love to share: I love sharing the pictures I carefully select in order to help fellow Local Guides feeling a good vibe of the places I visit.
How did I hear about Local Guides: I read an article about this new Google program and I was curious so I gave it a try... and in only 3 days I had already helped 10000 GoogleMaps viewers, so this gave me an energy boost to continue sharing all my reviews on Google Maps.
