My first meet up: Lessons from the discussions

The Anambra Virtual Meeting gave me the opportunity to attend my first meet up ever

Thanks to Terry for putting this together. Contribution from Samson was laced with a veteran’s verve

My take home points are quite insightful

  1. Watch the quality of Picture you upload, note LG is voluntary Uceey

  2. Post only relevant topics on Connect to avert ban Austin

  3. Quality and consistent content makes you a champion Sampson

  4. I could be frustrating when no action is taken on reported abnormally Lily

  5. Local Guide is a call to duty Eleje

:blush: I am glad I made it. A big shout out to all those who are not Local Guides from Nigeria who made it, especially; Erna’s adventures and Rona Kopik. I am not very sure about my spellings and @yagokd Yago who clarified that her name was only a shortened version of her name and the 'King of Virtual meetups’ himself; Anil Singh sir, @Anil6969 from India. Thank you sir for always making out time

I was happy to be in your midst. I like the work @UchechukwuEnem is doing. Your passion can light up a whole street!

My take home from the Meet-up was; “try as much as is possible” not to upload Selfies.

I know you said “do not upload selfies” but I rephrased it in my mind.

Why is that?

  1. The maps is not so much about you as it is about the details, about the location you are sharing details on
  2. For me; it is important to upload selfies. When I am looking to visit a place, I do not care as much about the place, as the lessons I will be taking home with me. How better to make these judgements than by watching your expression? How better to see your expression than on a selfie?

I think we should know where to draw the line. All in all, this is a very simple journey and it’s a life-long journey, more than focusing on the dos and don’ts, let us enjoy it.

Shout out @Austinelewex :blush:

@JoegatesChidi when I am invited to a place, I try to get there at least 5 minutes earlier, it may be longer depending on the kind of event and how much time it will take to familiarize myself with my environment.

I introduced myself immediately I joined the meeting, yesterday. As pre-scheduled, the meeting was to end by 4p.m. I intended introducing myself before 4p.m. again for the benefit of those who joined later :blush: but the opportunity never presented itself.

That aspect of not uploading selfie almost got me confused

But thank God for cropping that can allow you crop off your face

sometimes.
