Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found recently to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, an International Women’s Day meet-up recap, a trip to New York City, and more.
@RadieN: How did you spend the International Women’s Day this year? I was really interested to learn how Local Guides in Argentina spent the day attending @SilvyC’s meet-up Día Internacional de la Mujer. That’s why this week, I wanted to bring to your attention the post “Recap Meet-Up "International Women’s Day.” This meet-up took place at Villa Ocampo that used to be the residence of Victoria Ocampo, one of the outstanding women of Argentine literature. In this recap, @SilvyC tells us her impressive story and shows us many photos of their unforgettable visit there.
@Deskata: Did you know that if you tried to navigate the entire New York City subway system, it would take approximately 24 hours? And that’s if you hurry! In his post “Taking a bite of the Big Apple???,” Local Guide @kelvinofula describes how he managed to easily navigate the New York City subway thanks to the schedules and written instructions in Google Maps. He takes us to a few of the most famous must-see locations in the big city and shares some handy tips on visiting them. If you’re fascinated by The City That Never Sleeps like I am, then this post is a must-read.
@TsekoV: While browsing through Connect, one post left a deep impression on me. It was @FaridTDF’s post “Los primeros Local Guides del mundo antiguo.” The title made me curious, who might be the first Local Guides of the old world? @FaridTDF undertook a journey to follow in the steps of the Portuguese explorer Magellan in Argentine. If you wish to learn more about the people who populated the map with new lands and seas, don’t miss this post.
@Bobiisha: The post I want to highlight this week is “12 Lugares para conhecer no Brasil” by Local Guide @Eros_Hassen. In it, he shares 12 beautiful places that he visited in Brazil, from beaches to national parks. He has also created a list in Google Maps so that others can bookmark his favorites. His post caught my eye because of the amazing photos inside. Another great thing about it is that the Local Guide shared his personal experience at each place, giving relevant and useful information to people who might want to visit.
