Introduce Yourself — September 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 August’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 @Teana_K ! Teana_K is a Local Guide Level 9, and here’s what they shared.

1. Name: Teana_K

2. Location: Gladstone, Queensland, Australia

3. What I love about being a Local Guide: Being able to help others decide on visiting a place.

4. My favorite thing to explore: Natural landscapes, areas with water features like rivers and beaches.

5. Fun fact about me: I am an avid drone user and contribute many aerial images to Google Maps. It adds a whole new perspective to a place! I love snow; it’s kind of weird that I live in tropical Queensland. :laughing:

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

Hello @Mr_Kashan

Welcome to LG Connect :pray: and congratulations on your first post here.

Here are a few tips and easy ways to connect with local guides in the shortest possible time.

1. Favorite Locations

To easily connect with Local Guides in your local area, you may want to try the Favorite Locations feature.
Go to your settings page and add up to 3 locations after which posts created by local guides from those cities will be listed on the main page.

Tip: If you are traveling to a new place temporarily, you can remove and add the new one. Changes reflect immediately. Following that you can connect with local guides from the new place.

2. Browse Older Posts

Browse through older posts of local guides from a place and check if they are still active and would be interested in a meetup. Chances are enthusiastic local guides did not find enough people to connect some time back and respond to your comments.

3. Private Messages

Send a private message to local guides using the feature here on Connect.

4. Upcoming Meetups

A meet-up is meant to explore new places and make friends with local guides in your community. Check for upcoming meetups in the Meet-ups section.

By clicking the Show All button circled (2) in the image below you can also search for meetups by location.

5. Previous Meetups

Leave a reply on past meetups.

Search The LG Connect community for the word recap that is used by most local guides in their post-meetup reports. You can then search through past meetups telling the local guides that you missed it and leave a request to notify you when the next meetup is hosted.

6. Conduct a meet-up

Use the Submit meet-up button circled (1) in the image above to host a meetup. This would be a great way to reach out to the local guide community in that place proactively.

7. Do not hesitate

Go ahead and post a message seeking local guides in a city like this person from Bangalore did and got a good response.

Ensure you add a location to the post as shown in the image below.

Hope you find these useful.

Meanwhile, introduce yourself to the local guide community here and get featured on Connect:

Hello @InaS , I’m pleased to meet you, thanks for the mention, much appreciated! Nice to meet you @KashifMisidia , I hope you are having a good day.

@MortenCopenhagen nice to meet you too! I have a Mavic Air2s drone and it is a very good one for commercial level images and video. I love it and Id say the majority of my images are aerial. One 360 panoramic drone image can highlight a nice chunk of area. Kind of like a ‘less is more’ concept.

Wishing you all a nice weekend :slightly_smiling_face:
