📸 A Cherished Click by a Legendary Local Guide TravellerG

Dear Fellow Local Guides,

During the Delhi Mega Meetup, something truly special happened. One of the most senior and respected Local Guides in our global community, @TravellerG, took a candid photo of me — and to my surprise, it turned out to be the best photo of mine ever taken!

This is the true beauty of being a Local Guide — it’s not just about contributing to Maps or sharing reviews, it’s about the connections and moments we create together.

I have long admired TravellerG, whose contributions are celebrated not only in India but across the globe. Meeting him in person was already an honor, and though I knew he was an excellent photographer, I didn’t have the courage to ask him to click my photo — simply out of respect for his seniority.

To my utmost joy and surprise, sometime after the event, I received a message from him on WhatsApp — he had clicked a photo of me during meet-up and decided to share it with me. I cannot express how grateful I felt. That one gesture made my day, and honestly, that photograph remains very close to my heart.

And today, I’m happy to share that very picture with you all! :folded_hands:

:camera: Thank you so much, TravellerG Sir, for this priceless memory.
