What a wonderful feature, @Globe_trotter_Ish sis— thank you for highlighting the inspiring journey of @GuruKrishnaPriya! It’s always a joy to read such heartfelt stories of passionate Local Guides.
We are extra excited because today, 18th August, we’ll have the chance to meet Guru Krishna Priya sis in Malaysia! :malaysia: Both @PavelSarwar and I have invited her for a special dinner, and we’ve also extended the invitation to Stephane so that it will turn into a lovely, sudden meetup. Since Priya sis is vegetarian, we chose the popular Banana Bistro Banana Leaf Restaurant here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for dinner.

That’s awesome @Gurukrishnapriya ji.

Traveling is such a great way to explore, and being a Local Guide makes it even better. Connecting with other Local Guides really helps you discover new spots and learn from their experiences too.

Your journey as a Local Guide has been full of learning, exploring, and connecting with amazing people along the way.

Thanks @Globe_trotter_Ish for sharing this with the community.

This is a wonderful interview. I have known @Gurukrishnapriya for quite a long time through Connect, but I had no idea she is such an all-rounder. You are truly an inspiration, Guru. Hats off!

I couldn’t agree more. Hobbies bring out the inner child in you, help you become a better version of yourself, reduce stress, and even act as a form of meditation.

Thank you, @Globe_trotter_Ish, for sharing this wonderful interview. Looking forward to learning more about women’s power.

I remember the icon of inspiration of so many women @Gurukrishnapriya I called her Akka first met her during Covid though I am not fortunate to meet her in person however I know she has a good soul always ready to encourage local guide.

I wish her all the success for her life.and yes ton of thanks to @Globe_trotter_Ish for sharing her inspiring stories with all of us.
