My achievement in 2021

Hello All Guides,

Happy New Year to all, I believed you had wonderful year end celebrations and getting ready for upcoming 2022.

2021 was challenging but incredible. Despite Covid-19, we all went out and had done many things for 2021. I too, even I did not travel much like before, I still managed to go out and done some activities.

Let’s me take a moment to share about my achievement in 2021, especially for Connect & Google Map.

  • I had reviewed, added photos and rated more than 220 places into Google Map in 2021.
  • I had written exactly 138 articles in 2021, about a bit over than 11 articles per month.
  • Most of my articles related to travel, photography, and food and drink. Those articles were about Cambodia, New Zealand and US ( because I have been to those places). Hopefully I can explore more in 2022.
  • My most wonderful and rewarding moment on Connect was when my articles being featured on Friday Favourites. In 2021 alone, there were 5 articles being selected and featured by Google Team. That’s incredible feeling to be featured - to be honest! Besides, there are other articles on trending I did not take note.

I kept contributing in 2021 as there were full supports from fellow local guides from the forum and I hope that it is going to be more support in 2022.

Since life is getting busier here, I hope to be able to stay connected and shared regularly in Connect and in Google Map.

I wish you all the best - Happy Guiding for 2022 and many years more to come :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you dear for being a great support to many of us here on Connect @StephenAbraham and to me. To be honest, without the support and words of appreciations, I just feel that maybe nobody is here and has read my pieces of writing? So, thank you for all the support and motivation throughout the year. Meeting physically? Yes, a good idea and I do hope that we can make it this year - wherever, whenever.

Congratulations :tada: :tada: :tada: @Sophia_Cambodia

You are the most active and great writer on connect. Keep it up this is your year.
