As a nature lover, Flavio is always keen to make the most of time outdoors. After their hikes, Flavio provides descriptive reviews of places for hiking, walking, and enjoying nature that include accessibility info for people with disabilities and parents with strollers - allowing everyone to build a connection with nature. Flavio hopes his contributions encourage others to get outside, and document the roads less traveled.

What is your favorite place, experience, photo or video you contributed to Google Maps this year?
This year I spent a week of my holidays in the Vedrette di Ries - Aurina Natural Park. It was very beautiful to discover that part of the Alps, but it was also a great experience to contribute photos and videos to Maps.

What advice do you have for other Local Guides?
I would suggest people attend the local meet-ups. It's a big opportunity to get to know other people with the same interests.

What do you like most about the Local Guides community?
The thing I like the most about the Local Guide community is that it is truly global in scope. This provides an opportunity to discover places, customs and traditions that otherwise many would never have the chance to know.

What makes a place or experience worth rating/reviewing?
I think that every place or experience is worth rating and/or being reviewed because it helps so many others make decisions on the best use of their time.

What is your favorite feature of Google Maps?
Live view!
