Local Guides' 2024 Album of Star Videos

Restaurant Cotidiano Promenadeplatz Munich

This video shows our vegan dinner together with the Local Guides iRena and Fazz one evening during the Local Guides #Euromeetup2023 in Munich. For me, it was a very eventful and emotional event full of great impressions. So I’m all the more pleased that this video became my star video.

Egypt - Taba, Egypt
On my visit to Egypt in Taba back in 2018 I took a boat to go diving in the Fiord, Coral island and the underwater blue hole of Taba. it was a great thing to see the Israeli shoreline right behind Taba and understand how close neighbors we are. I used my phone for this and it was a point and shoot kind of video.

Hub Station, Lviv, Ukraine

I took the video with my Redmi Note 9 Pro while waiting for my late train. As lots of people go through Lviv and need to wait for a train or bus, including late at night or early morning, I felt it useful to share the inside of a spacious place where people can spend several hours, have their meals, and charge their devices. The place is a bit pricy, so it’s not overcrowded. I would say it’s worth paying for decent food, nice ambience, sockets, and availability 27/4. The latter is crucial regarding the curfew due to the martial law.

Super Muffato - Curitiba PR - Brasil

Mercado bem organizado e limpo, variedades de produtos, gostei do vaporizador nas verduras pra que elas fiquem fresquinhas.
Me senti num parque de diversões com a variedades de produtos glúten free, e para dietas com outras restrições.
Alguns outros diferenciais no estabelecimento como : Carrinho motorizado e cadeira de rodas disponíveis; Estacionamento com acessibilidade;
;Grande variedades de produtos glúten e lactose free; Preços compatíveis com outros mercados; Adega climatizada para bebidas especiais.

TLScontact – Visa Application Centre Kyiv, Ukraine

I was visiting this visa office to apply for a British visa. As the office isn’t seen from the front of the large building, I decided to shoot a video to help people know their way before the visit and feel less distressed. The video starts with the front of the building everybody sees when approaching and then shows the way to the office on the back side of the building. I also did a detailed review of the place and process, which got over 20 reactions. So, I’m happy to be helpful to all those people.

My newest and third star video. I was going thru my videos in preparation for updating my totals for the top 100 leaderboards and imagine my surprise when I saw this video had increased 70,000 views in one month and had become my star video. In the month of December alone it increased another 90,000 views.
Definitely not one of my better videos. This was one of my earliest videos and it shows, I left on the sound and did not stabilize the video. That’s how we learn.
Guessing because its the holiday season a lot of people are looking at these types of videos.

Hurricane Hill Trailhead, Port Angeles, WA, USA

I love hiking, and because I was traveling and this was just one more stop in my trip, I needed to go early. Actually, I also like going as early as possible to hike, so I am mostly alone and if possible see the sunrise and enjoy nature. So, I arrived to the Trailhead at 6 am with a bit less than - 2°C in June, but it was a wonderful experience. The hike was a bit more than 2 h (round-trip) but I managed to get to the top where I recorded this video. I love it because of the time, the absence of people and the fact that Canada is visible from this spot. It was taken in June 2021 with a wonderful Huawei P20 pro Leica camera, outdated nowadays but a monster back then.

Wonderful Patisserie by Oriental Delight (UK) Ltd), London, UK
In December, I got a new star unexpectedly. A summer video of desserts in London Chinatown has outraced my video instruction for getting to the UK visa centre in Kyiv by some 6,000 views.
I took this video when wandering around Chinatown and popping in stores and bakeries just to feel the ambience and look at the variety of goods and foods. The funny animal desserts caught my eye, and I decided it’d be interesting and useful for map users to see them, too.
Redmi Note 9 Pro was my device as usual.
