@MoniV : This week, I was mesmerized by the amazing post “Havana ooh-na-na, I left my heart in Havana!” by Local Guide @Melissa_FoodRadar . In it, she shares her experience from a trip to Havana, and you can almost hear the music and feel the spirit of this city from her stunning photos. Check out Melissa’s post and enjoy Cuba’s unique atmosphere.
@MoniDi : Last year, I visited Dubai but somehow missed to add the Global Village to my itinerary. Thanks to @TheLifesWay post, Wonders of the World in Global Village, Dubai, UAE,” I feel like I’ve seen it with my own eyes. @TheLifesWay has shared a series of posts dedicated to this diverse amusement park. In this post, he introduces some of the popular tourist attractions from around the world, replicated in the Global Village. Beautiful night photographs complement his text.
@PoliMC : My favorite post this week is the recap “Female Local Guide Superstars having virtual Meet-up” by @MahabubMunna . I’m impressed by how passionate the Bangladesh Local Guides are when it comes to organizing virtual meet-ups. This particular meet-up featured over 20 female Local Guides and 45 participants in total from 12 different countries. They talked about contributions, got to know each other better, and shared inspiring tips and stories. This is a great example of how Local Guides can come together despite being countries apart.
@BorrisS : I have always been fascinated with Japan. When I came across @Wei929 ’s post, I lost my heart in Kansai region, Japan for all time,” I simply fell in love with it. In it, @Wei929 gives her recommendations on what to see in the Kansai Region, while every single photo of hers tells us why. From the first photograph to the last, I discovered different aspects of this country: from the rural areas to modern cities, all beautiful and unique.
