I moved your post from Local Stories to Meet-ups as you are trying to find people from your area.
To find fellow Local Guides from your area, try searching the community for mentions of your city/country to find posts that have that name in the title, body of the post, or the location tag. Feel free to jump into these conversations, engage with the Local Guides near you, and you can also plan a meet-up. Please take a look at this article How to organise a Meet-up.
BTW You can tag Connect members in your posts by writing @ before their name. This way they receive a notification and know that you are trying to communicate with them directly.
