Every Friday, Googlers round up some of the best posts they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, a day trip to Amritsar, Laguna Esmeralda, and more.
@KlaudiyaG: I don’t know about you, but when I think about Bali, the first thing that pops in my head is the word “paradise.” With its amazing beaches and epic waterfalls, it’s basically a feast for the body, mind, and spirit. There is nothing quite like it. @dian_9395 reminded me of this in his amazing post titled, “5 Best Places to Visit in Bali, Indonesia.” The post might just motivate you to book a one way ticket to Bali straight away. I surely pondered for a moment!

@AngieYC: This post written by @br14n titled, “When The General Managers Get Down To The River” really inspires me to take care of the environment, starting with my own surroundings. Why this is a great post? Well, because it shows that we can all encourage others to step in and make a difference in our communities. Dozen of hotel managers in Batu, East Java, Indonesia gathered to remove litter and plant trees in their area. I hope this type of movement can increase more awareness about environmental issues that are affecting the whole world.

@InaS: Have you ever taken an amazing one day trip? Based on his recent post “One Day Trip from Delhi to Amritsar on 70th Republic Day of India,” Local Guide @gowthamselvam definitely has! He described in great detail what it was like to spend a day exploring Amritsar with his friend. Despite the crowds, they were able to see some great sights, enjoy delicious food, and watch exciting performances on this special day. His story might just inspire you grab a friend and explore a new place!

@KatyaL: The post “Historias de Senderismo - Laguna Esmeralda” written by @FaridMonti is one of the best posts I’ve read this week. The place is really inspiring for a visit and the post is very well written and detailed. The Laguna Esmeralda is a great place to go hiking. The forests of Ñires and Lenga and the panorama of Ushuaia Mountain look absolutely amazing! The emerald colors of the river are extraordinary and beautiful. For me, sharing the beauty of the world with others is one of the best things about being a Local Guide—and Farid definitely does that in this post.
