Introduce Yourself - February 2021

Hi everyone! Welcome to Local Guides Connect. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to our community.

As “Introduce Yourself” threads can be lengthy, we start a new one each month and lock past threads. You can check past threads, like January’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from (simply search for “Introduce Yourself”). If you’re new, please use this thread to post your “I’m new” or “Hello world” posts. We’ll merge any posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.

  1. Name: Traci Cappiello
  2. Location: Brooklyn, NY, USA
  3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I love that my contributions serve as a journal of sorts, documenting my travels, experiences, and knowledge I’ve shared with others. I love knowing I have helped someone make a decision.
  4. My favorite thing to explore: I love exploring my own city (New York City), especially Brooklyn, my hometown, as things are constantly changing. I love finding new street art and burger joints.
  5. Fun Fact about me: I have a National Parks passport and love visiting national parks, historic sites, and more in the United States to get a stamp for my passport. I’ve been to eight of 62 national parks but countless other sites. In fact, one of my favorite memories was when I hosted two National Parks meet-ups in Florida a few years ago!

Now it’s your turn! :slightly_smiling_face:

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I’m completely new to this,

I literally have no idea what I’m doing :rofl: but saying that…do any of us?

  1. Are you having a productive day?

  2. How are you feeling?

  3. Where are you from?

    I’m Emma, I’m from the UK, there’s so many things that I should have gotten done today, but the truth is…I’m sitting here drinking a coffee.

Hi @RareEmma

I found your post quite late in the day and replying to tell you that this was more or less also my story today :blush:

I had contemplated finishing off many pending works but the weather outside was tempting out here in Delhi that I decided to take a stroll in the public park and spend some soaking in the mild sunshine after a cold and foggy morning.

Congratulations on posting your first article and a warm welcome to the wonderful world of LG Connect :pray:
Also, invite you to introduce yourself to the local guides community and get to know other local guides by commenting on this post.
