A Welcome Note From Mara

[mchomsky]

Welcome to Local Guides Connect, our new and improved community experience.

This is the place for you to:

1. Connect with other Local Guides around the world
2. Learn more about the program
3. Discuss your individual passion areas
4. Share unique insights

There are millions of Local Guides around the world, and now it will be easy for you to find one another. Hear what others near and far are saying about their cities, favorite travel destinations, and how they are organizing with others to share their unique insights on Google Maps. 

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated, so please keep it coming. We will be iterating on this platform over the coming weeks and months, be vocal!

Looking forward to the conversation,

Mara, Program Lead Local Guides & the entire Local Guides Team

It’s nice to see you all together! 🙂 

I’m very honored to be part of this awesome program and being part of this beta community! I really like this new format compared to the G+ community. 🙂 

Once again, I would like to thank @GusMoreira for being part of our first MTLLG meet up! 🙂 I couldn’t make it but I heard only good from others team members of the community! 🙂

It is so great to see you all! To put faces to names and also to see such a dedicated, hardworking team in one photo. Honestly, I thought you were a larger team, so that is just another way of saying that your team is small, mighty, and crushing it. Keep up the good work, I am happy to be along for the ride.
