Introducing myself

I just wanted to introduce myself,  my name is Amina, and I'm a local guide level 8 in the washington DC area.   I enjoy being a part of local guides and sharing my reviews and reading the reviews of other local guides as well, it gives me a sense of purpose which is nice .   I'm out and about a lot and have been traveling a lot recently.  I recently went through a really really bad break up, so doing these reviews and traveling helps keeps my mind off of the sadness.  I'm also a local dance instructor so I own several meetup groups and am constantly meeting new people.  I love teaching and helping others and love to make new friends.  My students often ask me for recommendations of fun things to do in the area.  I also used to work on a cruise ship as a dance instructor and performer which was a lot of fun because I got to visit a lot of countries through that.

 

I'm about to make my application video for the Google Local Guides summit in California but I'm nervous because there is so much competition!  Should it just be talking or can I edit in clips of my dancing etc?

Re: Introducing myself

Very cool! Could I see what your application looked like for last year? Was it just you talking or did you splice in some other shots during your editing? Just curious.  I liked what you sent me it looked good with all of the pictures! 🙂

Re: Introducing myself

@Amina_Guide, I am a dummy when it comes to even basic editing. My video is without cut or editing, shot once 🙂

Re: Introducing myself

In addition @Amina_Guide, all the videos may nit be checked due to large volume of applications. Just face the camera and speak. No editing and videography is needed. But limit yourself in one minute. Here is a playlist of videos for connect live 2018. 😃
