The countdown is officially on! I am incredibly honored and excited to be part of the planning committee for the very first USA Local Guides Meetup in Key West, Florida, happening from June 4–7, 2026.
Being behind the scenes to help organize this landmark event has been a blast, but I can’t wait to get on the ground and experience it all with you. This isn’t just a meetup; it’s a chance for our community to make history in the Southernmost City!
What I’m Looking Forward To:
- Connecting with the Community: The heart of being a Local Guide is the people. I’m eager to finally meet face-to-face, share mapping tips, and build lasting friendships with contributors from all over.
- The Golden Hours: My camera is already packed! I’m planning to spend as much time as possible capturing the breathtaking Key West sunrises and sunsets. There’s no light quite like it in the world.
- The Scenic Route: I’m capping off the trip with the iconic drive from Key West to Miami. Crossing the Seven Mile Bridge with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf on the other is a photographer’s dream.
