Hello from Jakarta , Indonesia !!
I'm Rahmat Harman, a Local Guide level 8 on map , but still Level 7 on Connect, please just ignore it, it's not a big deal, just wait for sync LOL..
Based on google map time, system tracked my frist sharing locations on 2014, not remember the first time I used gmap, in . And in 2015 I've received a thank-you e-mail that mention me as local guides in 2015, and in 2017 I joined Local Guides Connect.
Excited, that's the simple answer why I joined Local Guides Program. A community that connects me into the wider circle, which we now know as Local Guides Connect . Contribute to Local guides Program is not always a rigid and formal thing because many Moment that Makes you really hard to turn away from being a local guides.
Basicly, I love traveling, for me traveling is our way to learn and explore new things. And google map is my friend to do that, I like to share photos and help provide better information on maps. That's why I believe google map is our way to CONNECT and deliver information we have to others through application and our contributions. I often go for a walk with my daughter, and one day she asked me why dad always stopped to take pictures, then I replied: Dad is a local guides ??
Being Local Guides is not just about contribution and information, but "Local Guides and Connect is part of a process of communication between people. It connects ideas and passions without knowing the boundaries and finally all meet in a real life, we have a warm little family in Jakarta Community and Sometimes we meet more often in casual meet up.
So, my story starts from here
So why i really want to attend Connect Live 2018 ?
I believe everything will go back to ourselves, If I have that chance I want to meet directly face to face with googlers, moderator and local guides friends from around the world to share experiences, knowledge and make us a real friendship in the real world. I believe Local Guides Connect Live 2018 is the best moment to exchange Idea, discuss what we can do and learn to improve as Local Guides nexts and Re Connect and spread all the knowledge back to our community in our country, Indonesia.
Thanks I will keep dreaming, hopefully this can be true.
this is my little story about Local Guides, good night from Jakarta, Indonesia
regards
Rahmat
