Name: Michael David Norris, but you can call me Lucky.Smiles 
Location: I was born in Phoenix, Arizona 
, and have called Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 
, home for the past 20 years.
What I love about being a Local Guide: I’m passionate about providing genuinely helpful feedback that everyone can appreciate 
. I pride myself on writing honest and thorough reviews, because I know how much I value those same qualities when researching places myself 
. My meticulous planning process relies heavily on trustworthy reviews, and I’m driven to contribute to the resources we all depend on 
.
My favorite things to explore: I enjoy discovering new parks 
, hotels 
, local businesses 
, and restaurants 
.
Fun fact about me: I’m a multi-faceted creative: an artist who draws 
, paints 
, and sculpts 
, and a retired payroll implementation specialist 
. Despite being 40, I’m a proud mama’s boy 
and a puppy dad 
. I also speak German 
, am currently learning Japanese 
, and have a solid foundation in sign language 
.
Thank you for all your help everyone!
@Lucky.Smiles wow, thanks for that wonderful introduction and welcome here again. Great to here, that you speak German. So we can talk German too 
Danke! Meine Schwägerin kommt aus Frankfurt. Sie war meine erste Lehrerin, und ich habe vier Jahre Deutsch auch an der Hochschule studiert.
গল্পের শুরু যেখানে:
বেশ অনেক বছর আগের কথা। তখন Google map নিয়ে খুব বেশি ধারণা নেই বললেই চলে। বলা যায় হুট করেই খুঁজে পাওয়া। সবথেকে ভালো লাগা শুরু হয়েছিলো একটি অজানা প্লেসকে ম্যাপের মাধ্যমে খুঁজে পাওয়ার মাধ্যমে। এবং সার্চ করা স্থান সম্পর্কে ম্যাপ থেকে ধারণা পেয়ে অদ্ভূত এক ভালোলাগার সৃষ্টি হয়েছিলো। তখন ভেবেছিলাম আমিও এখানে কিছুটা অবদান রাখতে পারি কিনা। সেই থেকে যাত্রা শুরু।
আমাদের দৈনন্দিন জীবনে ম্যাপের ব্যবহার ব্যাপকভাবে বেড়েছে। তাই এখানে অবদান রাখা সকল লোকাল গেইডস মানুষের অদৃশ্য ভালোবাসা পেয়ে যাচ্ছেন বলেই আমার বিশ্বাস। কল্যাণের জন্য সকল অবদান চিরজীবী হয়ে থাকে।
এই ফোরামটা সত্যিকার অর্থে সদা সর্বদা মানুষের কল্যাণে কাজ করেন তথ্যের সহজলভ্যতার মাধ্যমে। যা মানুষের জীবনকে অনেক সহজ করে তুলেছে।
Google map and local guides connect both are incredible things for making sure the life of people more easier and accessible.
