Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. These are posts detailing past experiences that we hope will serve as entertainment and inspiration for your future bucket list. This week, a meteor shower, a sequoia park, and more.
@LilyanaZ : Every year, many people go to places outside of big cities to enjoy the Perseids meteor shower. I have wanted to go on a vacation to a secluded mountain area when this is happening for ages, but there was always something getting in the way. However, thanks to @Erik_van_den_Ham and his post, “Perseids Meteor Shower 2020,” I was able to enjoy this magical show through his lenses. He also gave some great details about the gear he used and shared useful links about the Perseids, so I highly recommend his post to any avid night sky photographer.
@TsekoV : While browsing through Connect, one post left a deep impression on me. It was @Kwiksatik ’s post, “Where the Trees have Souls | #StateChallenge California.” Looking at the photos she shared, I could only imagine how tall the trees are at Redwood National and State Parks in California. Megan’s words are a reminder of how precious nature is and why we should preserve it. Our time on Earth, compared to the lives of trees and nature, is short, and we should cherish it all.
@Bobiisha : This week, I stumbled upon the post “SANTORINI, Place of the most beautiful sunsets -SUPER POST-” by Local Guide @MaxWalsh . It’s about his trip to the famous Santorini island in Greece. His post is very informative and full of tips on when to visit, how to get there, where to eat, and which places and activities you shouldn’t miss. What caught my eye at first were the stunning photos of sunsets and white buildings, but I found that his post contained all the information needed to plan a trip to the island. That is definitely a bucket list location.
@AngieYC : Many Local Guides like to add beautiful destinations to their travel bucket list, including me.Croatia is now on my bucket list thanks to the post “Brač Island Tour - Golden Cape, Blaca Hermitage and an Abandoned Military Tunnel” shared by @Tomislav_CRO . In it, he takes us on a tour around the island ofBrač, introducing the tourist-packed beach at Golden Horn, the peaceful Blaca Hermitage monastery, an old military tunnel, and the secluded beaches of Murvica. His post is helpful, and I will definitely take note of the tips he shared for a future trip. His photos are truly mesmerizing, too!
