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 February’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 @InspiringCuriosity ! Mona is a Local Guide Level 6, and here’s what they shared.
1. Name: Mona Bhadauria
2.Location: Toronto, Canada
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Exploring countries and cultures through their food, history, and day-to-day lives used to be the highlight of my day as a kid. I inherited that love from my parents. So when my partner, a Google Maps nerd, zooms in and out of Maps, we grab our keys, put the kids in the car (human and cat), and get lost somewhere!! As a Local Guide, I get to share those “snippets of our lives” in the form of reviews with billions of people. I put forth good karma by sharing both positivity and calling out what needs to change, one genuinely honest review at a time, all while doing what we love — exploring!
4. My favorite thing to explore: I love exploring trails and conservation parks, historical ruins, museums, local thrift and gift shops, cozy cafes, bakeries, and restaurants in and around Toronto.
5. Fun fact about me: I am an absolute foodie! While traveling, my ideal state of existence is to have long conversations with my family. Typically with a crisp cup of my beverage of choice or while enjoying soulful food as we snugly sit in a restaurant overlooking the city, letting life wrap us up in awe.
Nice to meet you, Mona! Local Guides, don’t miss the chance to say hi to Mona in the comments below and to share your introduction, too.
