What do I love about being a Local Guide: I can share places I like and been and would like to be on the Map and let people know that it's there to see and then to explore 🙂I love to share: I love to add and edit places. With 'Mbah Google' aka Google Search I can add information that I didn't know or knew but would like to fact-check first then let people know that the place is there, yes I love to share.
How did I hear about Local Guides: I simple love Maps (the paper ones originally- 🙂 ) then I found out about Google Maps, and later Local Guides and there it was my passion ready to explore and to share so everyone can enjoy what I enjoy.

Name: Asif; but sometimes my mates call me As IF.
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
I love to visit new places and try to improve that locality on google maps by adding/editing places or features, uploading pictures, reviewing places, answering questions. I feel proud when I see my clicked photos got remarkable views on google maps which is beyond my expectation.
Sharing is caring. I love to share my local knowledge as a guide to the people who are seeking reviews/information of a place. By sharing my knowledge, I meet new people. They also share their cultures, values etc..
As I started mapping on google map maker in 2011, I was in touch with some good people. We always tried to explore something better for map users. From that interest, one of my mate and so do I learned something new which is ‘Local Guides’.
Recently I have got ‘Trusted Photographer’ Badge which motivates me to contribute more as a Local Guides. I am the Moderator of both ‘Bangladesh Local Guides’ and ‘Dhaka Local Guides’. I have arranged several meet ups, food crawls, photo walks as a host. When I get free time, I try to contribute in Google Developer Group (GDG) Dhaka, Google Business Group (GBG) Dhaka. Here are some cool pictures which may catch your attention:

3. What do I love about being a Local Guide: Google has redefined my Identity. My friends identify me as : MAK - the Google Local Guide / the Google photographer/ The Google Mapper! (Gone are the days when people identified me by my country, race, occupation etc..) Doesn't it sound cool!
4. I love to share: Its a happy give and take. I have introduced hundreds of places to Google Maps, in-fact I have introduced Google Maps to thousands of friends. I love to click photos, share and also review and take pride.
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: It would be surprising for me, if someone active in this internet world, hasn't heard of Local Guides.
6. Fun Fact About Me: Interestingly - Post my uneasy & complicated inter-religious (Hindu-Muslim) marriage in the staunch South-India, it was Google Maps that helped harmony. I will reveal the story at #LGsummit17 at San Francisco (LOL)
