This active Local Guide has transformed the spirit of their local community by being the catalyst to numerous meet-ups in Bangalore, India. As a 2022 Community Builder, TravellerG has embraced the power of developing genuine relationships — going so far to even organize a welcome event for a fellow Local Guide that visited Bangalore from Indonesia.

What is your favorite place, experience, photo or video you contributed to Google Maps this year?
Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.

There are more than 51 points of interest in Mahabalipuram worth visiting, and I have published posts about 47 points of interest in Local Guides Connect. My favorites are the Shore Temple & Arjuna's Penance, along with Pancha Rathas (5 Chariots).

What advice do you have for other Local Guides?
Try splitting your time between Google Maps, Local Guides Connect and other social channels. When you focus on the quality of your contributions, it'll help everyone more. Be sure to focus on accessibility and small businesses.

What do you like most about the Local Guides community?
For me, the Local Guides community is like a family. I dedicate almost 5 hours a day, 7 days a week to helping people within this special community.

What makes a place or experience worth rating/reviewing?
To me, every point of interest is worth reviewing because they all have their own importance. Personally, I love heritage locations. Whether it is a small place or a big museum, my focus is the same. I try my best to share my sincere personal experience.

What is your favorite feature of Google Maps?
As a photographer, adding photos is important to me. Of course, writing detailed reviews is equally enjoyable.
