Here’s how it works:

  1. Take a selfie at your favorite place (current favorite, all time favorite or perhaps any beautiful background you’d like to share)
  2. Reply to this post, share that gorgeous photo and details using the template below.
  3. Share with your buddy local guides or simply go through the submissions (Remember: Tagging your buddy Local guides puts a smile on their faces).
  4. Once the call for submission is over, the submissions will be used to create a gorgeous photo mosaic/wall and will be shared with all of you.

Hi @OmerAli . That’s an interesting challenge. Why don’t you share an example to make sure it’s done right. By the way, did you craft that infographic yourself?

Thank you so much for your input, I already started getting great selfies from Local Guides and I simply cannot wait to see how the end result :slight_smile:

As per the design, I used the main concept from freepik.com and designed the rest myself. I attributed the original authors (for websites, they wanted an embedded code which for some reason is not showing up), and now going to update the image caption with attribution as well.

I am also going to share my post as well, how about yourself? fancy sharing your grand selfie with us?

cheers

Why I like this place?

I recently discovered this great hiking track that goes all the way up to the Thai Monastery on Berapit Hill. The reason I like this place is because of its views and serenity. You can see Penang Mainland as well as Penang Island from the Top of this Hill, specially the sunrise and sunset are breath taking.

P.S. Tagging some of the amazing people I met during CL18. In no particular order ( @KarenVChin @ermest @StephenAbraham @FaridTDF @AdrianLunsong @vvbellur @Gabuu @JedR @Tula @ValeriaA_ )

So glad to hear from you @adriana-celeste

Its pretty simple, let me walk you through

  1. Take a great selfie. I am sure you must have already done that
  2. Upload it to the form, using this link here (it will help to keep all of them organized)
  3. Post the same image along with the description here, so that other local guides can see and follow

Really easy. Also, we have no limits to the photos, the more the better. I personally wish to see thousands of those selfies to create a grand mosaic.

:slight_smile:

Thank you for the invitation, @OmerAli . I’ll try to think a favourite place. It’s really hard for me to choose just one. I will try to think of something. :slight_smile:

Why I like this place? I took this photo on my trip to New Zealand. It was taken before I went Bungy Jumping on the historic Kawarau Bridge! Clearly you can see my excitement and panic! ? My family back home knew nothing about what I was going to do. I just sent them this pic saying, “Am about to do something epic”!

-Why I like this place?

There are so many great vineyards to visit in California Wine Country it could make your head spin to decide what area and what time of wine you like to drink. Visiting Iron Horse is unique because it is an “estate-bottled winery. It makes wine from only the grapes it grows on its 300-acre property and produces their award-winning Sparkling Wine (California’s version of Champagne), Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.

Iron Horse is a small winery in comparison to the big, corporate wineries found in Napa. The owners and their children work and live on the property.

The view you see behind me is the vineyard with rolling hills full of grapevines. You get to enjoy this picturesque view as you sample the wines.

Read (and see) more about Iron Horse Vineyards and my Wine Tasting Adventure in California with Ermes.

Cheers,

Karen
