Here’s one of the most memorable gift I received from Local Guides at the 2019 Connect Live.

The Wanderer Bracelet is beautifully packaged memorabilia with a compelling story too. Handmade craft from Bali within a rural jungle community has been sustained for generations.

The information card tells a compelling story of how revenues from these pieces of art help sustain a natural environment while empowering an underserved community.

If you still have yours, kindly share a photo with us. What strikes you about this bracelet?

Thank you Local Guides for this unique gift! Very thoughtful of the team.

Hi there, @EmekaUlor , hope you are doing well!

Indeed, it is my most favorite gadget that I received on Connect Live 2019, it reminds me at all of the great times just looking at it. :heart:

2 weeks ago, @Matt95Bassett hosted a meetup where many of the LG 2019 attendees joined.

Surprisingly, everyone still had their bracelet on!

Unfortunately, I also have to share sad news. My bracelet broke just days after this meetup. I am planning to fix it though!

Stay safe,

Stephen

@Stphn thanks for mentioning me! @EmekaUlor Yes what Stephen says is true, the bracelet is probably one of the gadgets most appreciated by me and by many other local guides such as those in my photo that Stephen shared. Even my bracelet had broken some time ago but I managed to repair it and it is always with me along with the Venezuelan souvenir of @DianaTuaty
