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 August’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.
I’ll kick off this month’s introductions.
1.Name: Katya (but my friends call me Kate)
3.What I love about being a Local Guide: It’s really exciting to be a Local Guide! Being part of a growing community like Connect with people with so many different nationalities and speaking with a great variety of Local Guides from all around the globe, is an exceptional opportunity to learn about unique cultures and to develop my knowledge and skills while sharing with others.
4.My favorite thing to explore: I like to explore practically everything. I like to be close to water when I’m in nature. I love art and historical places, as well as exotic places and islands. When visiting a new place for me it’s interesting to see what the local people do for a living, what they like to eat, how they celebrate their holidays, what are their traditions, and in general, what makes their culture special to the world.5.Fun Fact about me: I like travelling, taking photos and having fun with my family and friends as much as I like eating chocolate. I also enjoy cycling, reading and cooking, but you don’t want to hear me singing
