Current or most recent role

I am currently as a self employed walking, wine tourism and gastronomic guide in Galicia, Spain.  Due to my extensive travels I'm also an Level 10 Google Maps Local Guide, in the World Top 30. I am also an active member of the Maps Forum Google Connect and Top 100 Leaderboards

Previous experience

Board Director of private woodland association, Ridimoas. 

Why I want to become a professional ambassador

I believe my current role is pretty different to many that already contribute. I used to be a Chartered Town Planner so I've also moved careers so I can say it can be done! I like to devote time to help others.
