Introduce Yourself — January 2023

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 December’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 us sharing your answers and photo(s) publicly here on Connect.

This month, meet @Ewaade_3A ! Ewaade is a Local Guide Level 9, and here’s what she shared.

1. Name: Ewaade

2. Location: Lagos, Nigeria

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Having a ‘real-life diary’ with details that are beneficial to other people.

4. My favorite thing to explore: Beaches! You can’t separate a Lagos girl from her Beaches.

5. Fun fact about me: I love kids a lot! I behave like one to preserve my innocence. I expect nothing from others, so when I get something, I am very appreciative. I dream really big!

Nice to meet you, Ewaade! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Ewaade in the comments below and to share your introduction, too.

Hi @Pinkudas

Maybe you are not aware that this is a global forum. I have never heard of DSR Academy. I don’t even know which country or what continent it is on. I hope you will have fun after the third period.

Cheers

Enjoy your life without tense. So your life is joyfull. Every time you learn something new.

However, just like any other year, we are hoping that this year brings positivity, motivation and good health to everyone around the world. With a new year comes a new year resolution and we as people must take an oath to be sincere in our efforts irrespective of us being a working professional, student or anyone else. We must have faith and confidence in ourselves to get through any worry or trouble. One of the best promises that we can make to ourselves is to be safe from the hidden enemy that is still thriving in the world by following all the SOPs and protocols

We are a group of 4 adults and 3 children. We have a train from Varanasi that leaves at 10:58pm and have heard of retiring rooms at the station. Can anybody let us know what these are and if they are clean

Through my personal experience, it offers only basic accommodation, which you will need to book online through IRCTC website. The sleep quality is very poor with the movements of train and their blaring horns throughout the day and night. Instead you can book some hotel in the proximity of railway station or Cantt area (within 10 minutes of drive).

Retiring

sic rooms, you may have to check for availability. If you are sightseeing throughout the day and want to rest for a few hours before your train, then these may be good option, however if you are looking for these rooms to stay, for a day or two, then its better you get a hotel close to the Railway Station, there are plenty of hotel’s
