Introduce Yourself — December 2024

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to our community.

As “Introduce Yourself” threads can be lengthy, we start a new one each month and lock past threads. You can check previous threads, like November’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from. We’ll merge any “I’m new” and “Hello world” posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.

Do you want to be featured in our monthly Introduce Yourself posts? Share your introduction in the comments, following the five prompts below, and a horizontal photo of yourself (in landscape mode). The best introductions will be considered for future Introduce Yourself posts. Please note: Your response may be edited for clarity. By taking part in this challenge, you agree to allow us to share your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.

This month, meet @NeshaMC! Nesha is a Local Guide Level 8, and here’s what she shared.

1. Name: Vanessa Meza Castro, but I like to be called Nesha

2. Location: Lima, Peru :peru:

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Helping people discover places with information about opening hours, prices, and so on (I often go to places that turn out to be closed, so I think it’s important to provide information about opening hours).

4. My favorite thing to explore: I like going to specialty coffee shops and uploading photos of cups of coffee, especially cappuccinos.

5. Fun fact about me: I’m obsessed with cats. (Also with the color purple, can you tell?)

Nice to meet you, Nesha! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Nesha in the comments below and share your introduction, too.

Hello, dear Local Guide friend, @NeshaMC
Welcome to the Local Guides Connect forum, which is our second home. Nice to see you here.

I’m a digital marketer from Dhaka, Bangladesh, and my small business name is Sultan’s Digital. Sultan’s Digital strives for excellence in digital marketing. Apart from being a digital marketer, I enjoy exploring new and unknown places.

Furthermore, I have a passion for photography, creating vlogs, and enjoying delicious local foods. In my free time, I’d love to contribute to Google Maps so that others can benefit from it.
