CONNECT LIVE and everything that happened before

Hi everybody,

as you all might know, these days the Connect Live event takes place in San Francisco, California.

151 local guides from 59 countries meet up in two and a half days. It’s incredible and absolutely wonderful!

Before I arrived in San Francisco I spent 3 days in Los Angeles. I did a lot of tourist things like check out the Walk of Fame and go to the Farmers Market, but I also visited the Universal Studios and had the best time!

Here are some impressions of the first couple of hours at the event:

The opening ceremony was absolutely wonderful! I met so many people I’ve met here online like @ErmesT , @TraciC and @PaulPavlinovich but also many other local guides from all over the world.

The event was organised very well! There were so many things to discover, like taking instax photos and putting them on a huge globe to where you come from. Writing postcards to your beloved ones with the CL motive on it. Exchanging gifts from countries. Taking funny photos. Eating and drinking together and lots more! It was absolutely wonderful!

I will keep you updated @OSAMA

Hello again @MiaMaria

I’m so curious to know the subject of last photo (slide on presentation about reviews, edits, photos …). Can you explain about it?
