@bdmafuz An email was deployed Thursday that directed Local Guides levels 5+ to post on Connect to fulfill one of the Connect Live application prompts. Many of these users are finding Connect for the very first time. On behalf of the moderators, we are really energized by the potential. Moderators are collaborating across timezones to make sure posts are placed on the most relevant boards, which depending on their post, could be General Discussion, Travel and Advice, Let’s Meet-Up!, Share Your Photos and Discoveries, Photography, and Mapping Your World.
With all of the new eyes on Connect, we are making sure we use this incredible opportunity not only to teach new people about our community, but also to ensure Connect remains a warm and welcoming place. If you believe a post is published in the wrong area and we have missed it due to the length of time that has passed since it was published, please simply tag a moderator and request our assistance. Moderators include: @BruceDM, @ArielleM_, @KarenVChin, @Shirley, @Flash, @ErnieSampson, @TraciC, @LudwigGermany, @JeslynL, myself, and others.
Thank you!

Thanks Alexander @XanderO
Yes, the photo was shot in Nigeria, precisely in Obudu, Cross River State.
It is such a lovely place.

Being a Local Guide allows me to share discoveries of my adventures, and while doing so, to help people. I love to travel and explore new places. I think it's awesome that I get to submit original data, and to verify the integrity of data from others. Open source rules!
Google Local Guides has pioneer spirit--we are building maps and guiding people toward the best experiences--information that they can rely on 😎.
I have a Pixel XL that makes all this a breeze.
I am so excited to have the opportunity to attend the 2018 Connect Live Summit!
