Every Friday, our Google Moderators round up some of their favorite posts that they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week beautiful photos of the Sile River in Italy, an inspiring Local Guides couple, and more.
@GeorgesHR: @NunungAfuah shared the most interesting and inspirational story I have read this week in her post, “Incredible Local Guides that you should meet.” She wrote about an incredible Local Guides couple, @br14n and @Nissa, who have hosted hundreds of meet-ups in their own home. I thought it was a great example of how we can use Connect to spotlight some of the amazing members of this community. We should all do that more often.
@Ivi_Ge****: This week, I really liked reading @AntonellaGr’s post “Sile River, stories of water.” You can hear the “silence” from her post. She shared some amazing photos of the Sile River that help us imagine what it would be like to actually be there. @ermest, who was there with her, added even more information and photos in the comments. The post was very informative and I think many people can learn a lot about that place from reading it. My favorite photo from this post is this one that shows the sun setting over the River.
@ArielleM_: @Safdarrai’s post “My Trip to Cape Agulhas where two oceans meet” is an overall inspiration to travel and get to know our world — and the many wonders that lie within. In this post, @Safdarrai depicts his trip to the place where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet. It’s simply beautiful. I just really enjoyed the experience learning more about this area through @Safdarrai’s perspective. I’ve always wanted to travel to Africa and now I have somewhere in mind to visit first. #BucketList
@MashaPS: @EmekaHouse’s recap of the meet-up In Lagos nicely represents the idiom, “The nice thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side.” In the past, @EmekaHouse has shown us he’s an accessibility champion, so I’m glad to so many others join him in this mission. It was nice to learn more about their meet-up and some of the challenges they faced. It reminded me once again how wonderful Local Guides are. An enormous heart is needed to spend time helping people you don’t know.
