I am very happy. The Meetup was as beautiful as I had envisaged.
It was divided into four parts;
- Introduction
- Theoretical Aspect
- Practical Aspect
- Reaction to the Responses by some Local Guides on the form to the Question; “In what way do you think your experience as a Local Guide can be improved?” ?
Introduction
This was anchored by @FalguniP , everyone who was present at the time had a chance to “introduce themselves and say why they had attended”. Thank you, Madam.
Theoretical Part
The Theoretical part covered the 5 tips;
- ACTIVATE - BEGINNER TIP 1 : Join the Community
- BUILD- BEGINNER TIP 2: Build your Maps and Connect Profile
- UNDERSTAND- BEGINNER TIP 3: Understand the Community (The rules and Guidelines and the People in Connect.
- SURROUND- BEGINNER TIP 4: Surround yourself with Positive Minded Local Guides
- EXPLORE- BEGINNER TIP 5: Explore the World! There are thousands of posts written here. Read articles, write articles; interact and Connect with other Local Guides.
Useful Links (prepared by Ewaade, set in this great format by @sophie_fusion )
Practical
I believe we become better Local Guides after we join Connect and participate actively.
So, we went and dealt with all of the Connect Topics;
- What they are?
- What makes them special?
- Tips for writing great posts to publish on these Boards
Reaction to the Local Guides Responses on the Form
I reacted to the issues raised to the best of my knowledge.
Appreciation
So many people were here, Thank you so much for coming, I appreciate.
In a special way I wish to thank;
- @TravellerG
- @RahmatHarmanP
- @StephenAbraham
- @Sagir

Good recap @Ewaade_3A more importantly I got a chance to see everyone.
I don’t often participate in the meet-up. Hope I can host one in the future! I got stuck at the registration link twice and it discouraged me to host any.

How can you be stuck on anything when you have your Ewaade 24-7?
Once you are ready, let me know.
Also remember you are a star, people will go to great lengths to help you.
I was happy to see you and listen to you talk, my fine Cambodian Princess @Sophia_Cambodia

Let me talk to the presenter again @Ewaade_3A if he is available then we can proceed it. Because now it is covid-19 anyway.
I need you to help me with the link to register. Let’s me come back with the date and time again after talking to him.

Lol! I couldn’t agree less.
At least now I know the screenshots are at least 'readable’ then, I am okay with that.
Thank you for your support. But, No wait, I am not thanking you, what is mine is yours, so, thanks for hosting an amazing show yesterday. @FalguniP

Awwe. I am so glad I was able to do this. I am glad you understood it, too. Thank you for sharing with me and finally making me know I wasn’t crazy when I thought what you call “Visiting cards” is actually what we call “Business cards” here in Nigeria.
Thank you for showing off the ‘Guiding Stars’ mask, I like it!
I love your cheerful enthusiasm, I liked that you understood the ‘Story Game’ too
