Hi everyone!

According to the first badge that I have, it’s been 8 years since I joined this forum:

I’m really excited to share with you the highlights of my journey so far :grin:

2019:

I had the pleasure of joining the 200 people who attended the Connect Live event in San Jose, California.

It was the first time I’d met everyone, and to this day, I’m still in touch with many of the people I met that day.

2020

The year of the pandemic. Since we were all on lockdown, a lot of Local Guides challenges happened during this time.

2023

I attended an international meeting in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. It was organized by my friends from Local Guides Argentina, and we had a great time.

I am part of TracHERs – A new women’s team for TRAC
I’ve already had some routes accepted, you can check the amazing work everyone is doing here:

Last but not least, another challenge I participated in this year was turning a selfie into a custom Local Guides sticker. (In fact, it’s my profile picture now.)

Here’s my sticker :slight_smile:

Looking forward to seeing all your amazing posts!

Congratulations on 8 years here and 9 years as a Local Guide, @TeffiG! :tada: What a beautiful journey to look back on.

I loved seeing that you joined Connect Live 2019 in San Jose and are still in touch with people you met that day — that’s exactly the kind of lasting connection that makes this community so special. And it’s wonderful to see your work with TracHERs too!

Thank you for sharing all these memories. Here’s to many more years ahead! :cherry_blossom:
