Introduce Yourself - September 2017

As "Introduce Yourself" threads get quite long, we start new ones monthly and lock the old ones. Be sure to check the old threads, such as the August one, to see who already joined and where they are from (simply run a search with "Introduce Yourself" as keyword). If you're new in Connect, please use this thread to post your "I'm new" or "Hello world" posts. We will move any posts 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: Atsuko
  2. Location: New York (but I'm originally from Nagoya, Japan)
  3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Google Maps and Local Guides Connect helps people to search for places to eat, shop, visit, etc, and connect and e-meet people globally. It is fun and great e-community.
  4. I love to share: I love taking photos (nature, people, foods, etc) and sharing them. The first time I uploaded photos to Google Maps, I felt amazed that so many people had seen them.
  5. How did I hear about Local Guides: I became a Local Guide when I joined the team...and I'm glad to get an opportunity to be part of the Local Guides community now!
  6. Fun Fact About Me: I love learning how to make my own stuff. I have tried to make: pottery, glass, beads, fabric dyes, etc. The photo is me when I took a glassblowing class and made my own pink wine glass 🙂

What do I love about being a Local Guide: I love the fact that my voluntary contributions of review's, photos, adding of places, checking the facts I make to the Google maps is helping millions of people in the world day by day! This brings me great excitement and happiness!!!!I 

 

I love to share: I love adding places that are not yet listed on the Google maps, so that when other people try to find that place, they can locate it easily. Whenever I visit a place, I like leaving a helpful review about the place so that other people can have a view about the place.

 

How did I hear about Local Guides: I downloaded the Google maps app and when I saw the start contributing icon, I clicked and started doing my part to make the world a easier place for people to locate with adequate and reliable information.

 

Fun Fact About Me: I love travelling, visiting tourist attractions, discovering hidden gems and driving true remote areas to discover nature at its best. I am a nature addict. I have a great sense of humor as well and when with me it's always fun all the way 🙂

Re: Introduce Yourself - September 2017

Hello/नमस्कार/¡Hola! Fellow guides, I would like to thank all local guides for being here, contributing to the map and thus revealing the world day by day. Again I am thankful to all guides for their love, support & encouragement.

  1. What do I love being a Local Guide: Every year approx. 800 thousand foreigners visit my nation. Looking around a map I can see that the most tourist destinations are already been there in the map. But there are more such areas of public concern like hospitals, schools, emergency services, security offices and a lot more which are, I think, mandatory in map & are still few in number. Being a local guide I love to add them in the map. Also there are a lot of places over the country which are yet to be explored in the map. Since there is unmanaged urbanization so places are difficult to be found. So my sole intension is to ease the commune life and explore the nation over the world. I am in accordance with the motto of LG Connect: 'Spread the love and get some back'. Also the occurrence of devastating earthquake in 2015 made me feel the necessity and importance of map a lot. Since a lot of guides are exploring the places so why not me. Contributing to the map is also being sociable more than before. I always love to be sociable. Also this LG program is helping us to find people around us with same motto.

  1. I love to share: Photos, reviews and additional information of the places in a map,  My opinions over the posts, experiences, achievements, posts helpful to new LGs, stories about the places and many more in LG forum.

  1. How did I hear about Local Guides: Actually I am unsure how I entered here but I am sure that I am not here by any referral. Since 2 years ago I tried to add places in mapmaker but my contributions were denied. Then I left mapmaker. Later I thought to add birthplace to the map. At that time I found the new platform; Google map. It fascinated me a lot.

  1. Fun Fact About Me: I love to visit new places not even in group only but also alone too. I love to observe different realms of nature very closely. My subject of interest are Physics and literature. To be bearded sometimes is also my hobby. I have more or less knowledge of five different languages. Researching in mysterious events or places falls under my interest.

Thanks a lot for providing your valuable time to read this post.

What I Love About Being A Local Guide :

 I Love The Fact That People Naturally love to Share the Advice (For Free)  About where to go for Restaurant, Shopping,  & tourist or Just spend quite  nice time with family. I love Maps & before Google Maps I buy a Map & (search about Yellow Pages in the hotel 🙂 for every country i visit ,but now its much easier

to see all the world from your mobile navigate the city search about Places & see the real feedback from you about your experiences  and you see my feedback , About me this save a lot of Time & Money  that spend in searching the internet or reading about the city i will visit , With Google Local Guides We Can Help Millions of People and of course we can help each others as A Local Guides Community 

how to tie your shoes & how to use Google maps ( Share location , traffic , contributions) will be critical  Life skills for this century and this what i try to teach my Three daughters.

 

I LOVE TO SHARE :

When My Father died  i was a teenager my family give me the Shopping Responsibility with a tight budget to buy all the grocery list, so i practice to search about best quality with best price & now after 20 years  i have my own family i still do the same, I LOVE SHOPPING  compare prices ,wait the 70% sale

the free parking not crowded places , & i love to share how i enjoy my time with my kids which resturant , children museum , Gardens , Playing Areas .....
