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 previous threads, like January’s, to see who recently joined and where they’re from. We’ll merge any “I’m new” and “Hello world” posts we find elsewhere with this thread to keep things organized.
Do you want to be featured in our monthly Introduce Yourself posts**?** Share your introduction in the comments, following the five prompts below, and a horizontal photo of yourself (in landscape mode). We will select one of the best introductions and include it in our next month’s post. Please note: Your response may be edited for clarity. By taking part in this challenge, you agree to allow us to share your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.
This month, meet @andreileal ! Andrei is a Local Guide Level 8, and here’s what they shared.
1. Name: Andrei Bentes Leal
2. Location: Santarém, PA, Brazil
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: I love being a Local Guide simply because I help other people with accurate information and the exact location of places they might want to visit! Not to mention that it’s fun to explore places and share our opinion; I love doing this so much!
4. My favorite thing to explore: I love editing the places I visit that, for some reason, have incomplete or even wrong information. Of these places, my favorite to explore are environments like public squares and parks.
5. Fun fact about me: I love being spontaneous with my friends. I really like going out, I read a lot, and I love strawberry milkshakes. I am an economics graduate and study psychology as a hobby.
Nice to meet you, Andrei! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Andrei in the comments below and to share your introduction, too.
