Wow, I was selected to be one of the Guiding Stars 2021

It’s a pleasure to be a Local Guide, volunteer to contribute to Google Maps. Meet Local Gudes from many cities. And now, I was selected to be one of the Guiding Stars 2021. Wow. It’s really really cool. Thank you very much Local Guides team. To celebrate, I invite my local guides to eat yellow rice and rawon rice at our basecamp. You can see the excitement in the following photos.

This is part of the story I contributed here :

  • I wrote my first post on Local Guides Connect on October 27, 2016 and get my first badge, New Writer.

  • In early 2017, held the first meet-up at the gallery house of @yuniarl husband in Batu City and marked the founding of the Batu Local Guides community

  • Me and my community hosted the first national meet-up in Indonesia, called Meet Up Nusantara (MUN) 2017 in my hometown Batu City

  • In October 2018, I was invited by the Ternate City Government to introduce the Local Guide program. It’s an interesting story and at the same time establish Ternate Local Guides

  • In 2019, I was selected to be a participant in Connect Live 2019, despite failing to leave due to visa issues.

  • In the same year, with my dear @Annisa1208 selected to receive financial support and meet-up promotion from the Local Guides Team. We invited 100 Local Guides then in a special Nusantara Foodcrawl event.

  • In line with my move to Banyuwangi Regency, In November 2020, I invited several Local Guides in Banyuwangi, like @Munir22 , @Sigitsutrino and @aryndafindi , to meet This first meet-up marks the establishment of Banyuwangi Local Guides, which has just celebrated its first anniversary whose recap was written by @wahyu_pratamabwi

  • Currently, I have moved to Kuningan Regency. Never met Local Guide. Slowly but surely, Kuningan Local Guides will be up soon

The story above, could be an important reason why I was chosen. And also support from friends here. You can also read the full story on my profile on Connect. Long enough. Get some coffee and snacks, and enjoy :heart_eyes:

Terimakasih mas @Yus-Gaguk
Memang sepertinya itu menjadi tantangan tersendiri, untuk bisa mengumpulkan local guide yang baru kita kenal dalam satu komunitas hingga komunitas itu tumbuh dan bertahan. Dan ketika akhirnya banyak yang bergabung dan semangat berkontribusi, lelah ini terbayar sudah dengan kebahagiaan yang tidak dapat dinilai dengan materi.
