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 April’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 @SaraMencia ! Sara is a Local Guide Level 8, and here’s what they shared about themselves.
Helloooooo Local Guides! I can’t forgive myself for just discovering this community in April! Well, it is never [too] late for good things, so allow me to introduce myself!
1. Name: Sara Mencia
2. Location: [I was] born in the Dominican Republic but have lived in Ontario, Canada, since 2011. I lived for six years in the beautiful city of Toronto. Currently, I live in Hamilton, Ontario.
3. What I love about being a Local Guide: It gives me the opportunity to explore my surroundings wherever I visit, being my hometown or on one of my trips outside Canada. One thing I truly like is the recognition of being a trusted source of information because of my Local Guides badge! Being a Local Guide has made me more adventurous and motivates me to go out more often!!!
4. My favorite thing to explore: Little towns around me and their museums, parks, and restaurants! I am a coffee lover, so reviewing coffee shops is another of my favorite things!
5. Fun Fact about me: I am a banker who loves to laugh! 
So, bankers can be cool, too.
