Every Friday, Googlers round up some of the best posts they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, a trip totheHimachal Pradesh region,a food crawl, and more.
@KatyaL : I found the story “Relaxed but adventure was also on another level!“ by Local Guide @DrunkenChimp very interesting. It’s about his 6-day trip and adventurous paragliding experience in the beautiful Himachal Pradesh region in India. @DrunkenChimp tells us about the different places he visited and gives us helpful tips on transportation, accommodation, and places to eat while in Himachal Pradesh. His amazing photos can really make you feel like you’re part of his adventure, too! Sometimes, we need to overcome fear and break out of our comfort zone to be able to enjoy the amazing views from above like he did.
@VasT : This week, @rodriguespauloc urges us to share a special place that reminds us of our childhood in his post “Passeio de bicicleta no interior de Minas Gerais.” He describes his bicycle journey through the countryside of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, mentioning the natural sites and places he passes by and the happy memories they bring him. Make sure to check out @rodriguespauloc 's post if you like cycling or hiking in beautiful areas.
@PoliMC : This week, I really enjoyed the wonderful post “Is the Mate illegal? - #TeamArgentina” written by @Cecilita . In it, she talks about the infusion mate and breaks the myth that this is an illegal drink in South America. @Cecilita also describes the taste of mate, the traditional way Argentinian people drink it, and its various health benefits. What really impressed me was that mate has its own language—the way you prepare and serve mate can say a lot about your feelings towards the other person! At the end of the post, all the other members of #TeamArgentina also share their opinions and experience with mate.
@MortenSI : My favorite post this week will have to be “[RECAP] What to eat in Isla Cristina?” by Connect Moderator @AlejandraMaria . As soon as I scrolled through her post, my stomach started rumbling. She shows a perfect example of how to host a successful food crawl, eat a ton of food, and make valuable contributions to Google Maps while you’re at it. The attending Local Guides even dedicated time to go over the accessibility features of the places they visited, and I think that shows how far the accessibility movement has come. If you want inspiration on how to host a food crawl or just want to see a lot of delicious food, I suggest having a look at @AlejandraMaria ’s post.
