Recap: [In-Person] India, July 14, Celebrating 10 Years of Connect at Trivandrum: #LGConnectTurns10 Meetup 🎉 ⭐

Hy Local Guides, :tada:

Celebrating :tada: 10 years of Local Guides Connect was an absolute highlight. As part of the global #LGConnectTurns10 initiative by @ErmesT, we gathered in Trivandrum for a memorable evening that truly captured the spirit of our community.

The meetup was a fantastic occasion to honour our collective journey. We were thrilled to display and distribute special 10-year anniversary stickers and cards to the Local Guides in attendance. To mark the occasion, @SarathUpendran also handed out caps :billed_cap: printed with the new community logo, which made for a great look as we celebrated.

It was wonderful to have @Gouri.PS & @SarathUpendran for the gathering. We enjoyed a delightful evening meal at Aryaas Park Vegetarian restaurant, which provided the perfect setting for conversation and connection. Of course, no meetup is complete without contributing to Google Maps, so we made sure to include some productive photo-walk contributions as well after the celebration.


Stickers Printed by @AjitThite (Chai Pe charcha & no plastics), @TusharSuradkar (Beat the heat challenge - support local LGBTQ+ friendly businesses & local guides of Kerala), Me (support LGBTQ+ friendly business & 10 years celebration).

It is heartening to see how our community continues to grow and thrive together & I look forward to many more years of mapping and connecting with the community.
