Hello Neats @Neats
Welcome to LGC. I love the fun fact and living on a boat must be very adventurous and fun.
Thank you for the introduction.

- I love to share: I think it such a benefit to everyone to share the information and beautiful photos we all have.
- How did I hear about Local Guides: Google emailed me and asked me to be a Local Guide after I put this photo on the Auckland Zoo's website. I like to call it, "Giraffes of the Sea".

1. Name: Celumusa
2. South Africa
3. What do I love about being a Local Guide:
When I contribute I get approval that it was posted or sometimes if it's a place I want to put it on Google maps because it is not there. I can able to do that. Update with new photos because street map is not an everyday thing which means Google don't come every year in our place to creat street/videolike map, only after few years. So by having me as a contributor i can assist very well with also that.
4. I love to share:
I used to take pictures of my own "my self" but I realized that it won't help me if I do things for me only, what about others. Are they gaining something when I take a selfie or I am the one who is benefiting. Actually I love sharing and assisting, quote "Don't sell/ put on sale your knowledge, instead look for market/ buy the knowledge" (Bible, Proverbs, Old Testament) . After that I saw that knowledge and experience is important while we are still alive, because what is the use of having a qualification without knowledge and experience, it's useless. By becoming local guide, I will learn many things actually I am learning many things: faithfulness, truthfulness, integrity, inconsistency and so on. This means when I post/ contribute, it must be true so that the audience/ customers will trust Google map .
5. How did I hear about local Guides:
Via online advert or I received e-mail from google but I don't remember very well. I usually take photos,videos for places in order to update tourist and then in those videos I create a thriller of that place then post it on my YouTube channel in a playlist called Tour .
I am also proud that I became a local guide, I joined the team this year 2017 September.
6. Fun fact about me:
I was given first name "Celumusa", Second "Alex" then third "Nkosingphile" while I was young maybe I was few months to 1 year old. But then the third one my mom didn't approve it. Initials From "CAN" to "CA" . then around 2016 like Jacob to Isrieal, so I was given a third name called "Tholumusa" meaning I have mercy, from "Celumusa" meaning I am asking for mercy . So now my new initials are "CAT" . Another fun part of me, if someone ask me "Who are you?, usually via social media, here is the answer. - " http://whoswho.co.za/celumusa-sambo-2668863 " .

- I love to share: Sharing is one of the most beautiful experience. Improving the knoledge of other places and sharing my experience of the place where I live. Sharing experience is also meet other people, find new friends, do something important together
