What is your favorite place, experience, photo or video you contributed to Google Maps this year?
One of my favorite experiences this year was the British Airways i360 in Brighton, which came up as one of Google Maps recommended places to visit. It was one of the best experiences I had this year! It's a fun ride to the highest point of an observation deck, which rotates a full 360-degrees, giving you an amazing bird eye view of Brighton while you enjoy drinks and food from the top! I found it thanks to Google Maps.

What advice do you have for other Local Guides?
The advice I would like to give other Local Guides is that "Every contribution matters and counts." So no matter how small you think your contribution might be, share it anyway! I have seen the smallest of Maps edits and updates help so many people. As they say, "Little drops of water, make the mighty ocean!"

What do you like most about the Local Guides community?
I love everything about the Local Guides community! The best part about this community is that every Local Guide loves to help and is passionate about the work they do and the causes they support. Also being a diverse program, there is a variety of cultures, traditions, and cuisines to learn. It's a platform that is open to all. It's a great place to spread awareness, help local businesses, host meet-ups, and write posts and inspire others. I love the fact that I can connect with so many Local Guides across the globe with similar interests and passions and raise awareness about causes close to my heart like accessibility and inclusivity.

What makes a place or experience worth rating/reviewing?
For me, all the places or experiences one has should be rated or reviewed on Maps. If the place or experience is good, you will want more people to try it and let the business owner know you liked it. If the place or experience you had was not so good, still rate and write reviews as that would help the business owner know what measures to take to improve the business and understand what a customer expects.

What is your favorite feature of Google Maps?
I have two favorites. One is 'Create Lists'. It saves lots of time for the user if they are looking for a particular option to choose from, say, vegan / pet-friendly / kid-friendly, and so on. The second is 'My Maps', a useful and easy tool to create your own customized maps, especially for those looking to educate or trying to make meet-ups interesting.
