Celebrating six of our favorite Local Guides memories

[tipps]

WOW !!! Sechs Jahre Local Guides Programm, auch wenn ich selber erst seit knapp zwei Jahren mich mit einbringe.

Nach dem ich vor anderthalb Jahren Connect gefunden habe schaue ich fast jeden Tag hier rein. Es finden sich laufend neue Idee und Anregungen.

So habe ich zum Beispiel die Idee Briefkästen zu verzeichnen hier gefunden und fand das echt interessant.

Ganz einfach auch aus eigenem Erleben heraus, wo bitte ist jetzt der nächsten Briefkasten? Schön auch das auf Google Maps zu finden.

Heute habe ich eine neue Idee hier gefunden. Öffentliche Toiletten zu verzeichnen, die Idee von @tejal

Auch ich habe schon da gestanden und dieses Häuschen gesucht, schön wenn man es auf Google Maps finden kann.

Ich hoffe es gibt noch viele weitere schöne Idee hier zum umsetzen.

Awww, thank you so much, Ajit. You are one of those ‘beautiful people on here’ and believe me; everytime ‘Pune’ is mentioned, only one name comes to mind; Yours @AjitThite

You will never be forgotten. You won’t even have to look hard enough to find me rooting for you. Thanks for the honor. May you always be happy

Wow!!! Six years, So the Local Guides Program is just 38 years younger than me, Because I & Local Guides Program’s Birthday is on the Same date 15th January ??

Thank you @TraciC to let us recalling our beautiful memories with this wonderful program.

I m a contributor to Google maps since 2015 but joined the Local Guides Connect in May 2017. And my first post was an angry review for a pizza restaurant in Karachi because I thought maybe we can post reviews here too like Google Maps ?

My beautiful memories with this amazing program are all of my Local Guides Meet-ups, which I hosted or joined in different places, cities, and countries. Meeting new and old friends always gives me pleasure from the inside.

@OmerAli @IlankovanT @Haseeb @SwalayMuhammad

@Bilal_shaikh @AkmalB are some Local Guides friends whom I met in real life. But still, there are hundreds of other friends on my wish list, whom I eagerly want to meet. @JaneBurunina @ermest @KarenVChin are

Alexander Campbell, Jesi, Paul, Adrian, Ravindu, Kasun, and many other great friends, there is a huge list of them.

And the best memory I had in my mind is not so old, but just some months ago when I got Colourful Badge on Connect, yes that was the best day of my life, when I cried by joy and happiness.

I have not too much words, but I can only say Thank you Local Guides Program, you changed my life.

@TraciC Congratulations on 6 th anniversary really it’s great journey for me I started from public toilet mapping and tomorrow is my accessibility meet up. Really feeling very happy to help my community.

My favourite memory from the Local Guide program was when @KarenVChin and I worked on a video during Summit '16 for our fellow guides who didn’t get to make it to the summit. It was a fun side project and enjoyed collaborating with everyone to make it.

Bonus favourite moment: Getting the news that @OSAMA got to attend Connect Live.

This is my first time writing here , I don’t really know how this space works well , but congratulations not only the official winners , but ,to all the google local guides out there that we make the efforts to go out and about (even with a global pandemic as we are living on right now), with or cameras trying to show the world how places really look like, on real life , (without filters or tricky pictures )…to keep it 100% real …and show the world what they really will see when they get there via google maps , keep it Real its my absolutely goal!.

The year is already started under curfew , all of the European almost lockdown, tourist not traveling as before . I from a little village who’s name bayahibe in the East Coast of the Dominican Republic it’s a touristic village , we live depends of the tourist if there is no tourist the village is dead, things are going so bad those years.

I can’t explain them.

Even though I am not a guide from the beginning, I can imagine how amazing it is to be a guide from the beginning. In the last two months, I had too many great and unforgettable experiences as a Local guide and a Connect member. I met lots of amazing people, shared thoughts, knowledge, and goals. You guys who are from the beginning are really lucky. Thank you @TraciC for sharing an amazing article as usual so we can know the history.

Cheers,

@TraciC Here are some of my favorite memories of Local guides Program. I have to pick 2019 connect live as my favorite, since I had the opportunity to interact with so many Local guides and make new friends.

Meeting @TraciC in person at Connect Live

Pleasant surprise at connect live 2019, being recognized for most points earned in 2019 among connect live attendees!

In 2020 attended many virtual meetups, so I can still keep in touch with fellow LGs. One of the favorite meetup is #StateChallenge, thanks to Denise and Megan for starting this. Here is a collage from one of the StateChallenge Meetup.

Hope to make more memories this and coming years!
