Hi @AriMar or @brittym ; This is not really a how-to but more a rather basic question for clarification - particularly since I am new in the forum. I hope you will have the time. I really could not figure out the difference between the categories “Local Stories” and “Travel”. I understand that in some cases this can be clear, but in a majority of cases a post could go to either one. Appreciate if this can be clarified. Thanks.

@Sarath-Ab in my view local stories for more personal things and for things happening around you such as festivals, public work, events, life, etc. Travel can include attractions, hotels, transportation, or even a place of interest close to your area.
Hi @Sarath-Ab
Connect is a place to get to know other Local Guides, plan activities, share your stories, give feedback and more.
What are Connect topics? will help you to understand what are the topics of the community.
Thank you @kasunaaa @ErmesT , makes some sense, but I still think the demarcation in a practical sense is not quite clear. Lot’s local stories posts do not necessarily reflect a ‘cause’ or a ‘passion’, but simply elaborate on travel.
@kasunaaa Good to get to know you, you may have guessed from my name that I am also from Sri Lanka, now living in Melbourne. Will be in touch
on these days the Local Guides are submitting their applications for Connect Live 2019. It was indicated to share the post used for the application under “local stories”
This explain why we have so many post, frequently related to different subjects, all labelled as Local Stories
@Sarath-Ab Yes, I am from Sri Lanka. Sure I will
