Hi @VasT Thanks for your kind information But I did a few meetups but no news about my meetup in any of the enhancements, it’s very sad. I have a photowalk meetup on January 31 butt sadly you didn’t get the news of my meetup in this post. It seems to me that I am not a populist local guide, so my meetup news does not come to your post.

Thank you.

Hi @OmarBD , I am really sorry that you feel that way.

There are many other wonderful meet-ups like yours that I haven’t included because we need to choose just a handful. We always encourage Local Guides to search for meet-ups in their area. We also encourage you to promote your meet-up via your own social media channels and in your local community using #LocalGuides.

@VasT It’s an exciting beginning already for Local Guides in Dominican Republic. This meet-up sounds really interesting and I can’t wait to see the outcomes

Congratulations to other hosts in Singapore, Umuahia, Asaba, Peru and Germany. Peru and Singapore have been consistent with Stephen and Marcorp leading the way.

I hope to attend every meet-up near me as a way to support other LGs to help put their communities on the maps.

Thank you guys, let’s keep guiding.
