Thank you so much for introducing the team to the community @uavalentine , and for letting us know more about your schedule.

I am fortunate, because I had the great opportunity to meet two persons of your team already.

You are doing all a great activity in the community, and is a pleasure to read all your post.

As my friend @SoniaK said yesterday, why to search in internet about something, when we can find it here in connect?

Once again, thank youuuuuuuuuu for this great #TeamChallenge initiative, dear @ErmesT !

It gives us motivation not only to work as a team, but to travel and to explore more our own countries!

And we totally agree with @SoniaK - the information on Connect is much more personal, details and has a special touch of the locals and travaellers, full of emotions, experience and, of course, useful advice!

As they say in France: vive Connect, vive Local Guides!!!

Hi @uavalentine !

Gnocchi is a very easy dish to prepare, and perhaps its simplicity is the secret of its goodness!

Among history, monuments, natural landscapes and people Ukraine is fascinating and at the same time has a strong appeal!
And I’m discovering it slowly thanks to TeamUkraine’s posts!

Bye,

David
