What I love about being a Local Guide: I love seeing different places in the UK, football grounds, football club mascots, and the food! Check out Forest Green Rovers - a vegan football club. My son has been a wheelchair user for the last few years so I have discovered how to help people who use wheelchairs.
My favourite place to explore: Unusual places that most people do not see. Bescot Stadium railway station underneath the M6.
Fun Fact about me: I love to ring English church bells although I am not very good at it!
My photo: This is me in front of The Wall of Fame at Aston Villa Football Club. Behind me is a picture of Dwight Yorke who also played for Manchester United in the world club championship. The picture of a cup behind me is when Aston Villa won the European Cup on 26 May 1982 beating Bayern Munich 1-0 at the Feijenoord Stadion, Rotterdam

My camera

I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 to take photos. I look for the unexpected.

2. Location: Hsinchu Taiwan
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I like the ranking system that helps me to find a good hostel or restaurant during planning travel plan, even just go shopping nearby I will check the open hours and how to rush in the store by the history hours.
4. My favourite thing to explore: ha, sometimes I really like to watch talent comments on google map, although there are some emotional feedback or unreal experience, I do like it, like there is a police office in Hsinchu county gots lots funny 5 star comment, many people say they will visit again probably bring their family get custody together lol.
5. Fun Fact about me: I like to using google map street view + 3D map to re-browse those place I visited, although the air and the sound those feeling I can't replicate but I really glad google map can bring me there again, hoping one day we can use VR devices flying in the site via google map

   1. Location: Paris, France
   2. What I love about being a Local Guide:   Being a local guide is fun, because thousands of people rely on my review which makes me feel like a vigilante anytime I visit a place. I look out for so many things before I come up with a review. Moreover my photos are not just wasted or lost because Google saves them for me for free whiles it helps others .........
   3. My favorite thing to explore: I love everything exceptional about this wonderful world. Anything that amazes me, I wanna share it. Food, travel, photography. U can name it.
   4. Fun Fact about me: I don't know but it seems I never get lost when  visiting a place even for the first time. I don't bother to ask for directions from people anymore, the last time I tried I was given wrong info. Google Maps gives me some kinda confidence. Just send me your address and I would be at your door step, Am proud am part of this generation. The future is here with Google.
