Hi,
Yesterday, I received an email thanking me for my first year as a Local Guide:
Although I actually joined the Local Guide Community sometime around 2022, my “first” adventure lasted only a few months.
Last year, I decided to try again, and as you can see, the year flew by – over 10,000 contributions, over 76,000 points, and only a few photos – I always forget to take them ![]()
My “first year” also marked my first participation in the TRAC campaign and my first posts here.
And although here - on Local Guides Connect - I’m not as active as I would like to be (unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day), as a local guide I try to improve Google Maps every day.
All the best to the entire Community of Local Guides.
