This is an amazing community energizing me to explore and to share. Here I can be sure I will get feedback, be supported and cheered up, get advices and recommendations, be appreciated and heard. I have been travel blogging on different resources for over ten years now and I have never met such kind, friendly and open community as we are here. Thank all and each of you for making Local Guides program such a fantastic experience and a place I wanna come back, develop and contribute to. You are the best guys!
@JuanChthank you for an exiting session back here in Zurich. My daughter was born a couple of days later - on March 14th late in the night. I have already thanked our baby girl for patience and letting me to participate in this session on her due date 🙂 And for causing no troubles during the LG Summit - it was about the mid point of my pregnancy. And anothing thing - you mentioned considering an organisation of a full day similar session. Just wanted to let you know - I chated with some local guides about it here and no one would consider a possibility to join something like that for a whole day. We have too less vacation days here in Switzerland and the working hours are not really flexible. For me it would be a family situation preventing a full day participation. Just wanted to let you know.
Cheers

Congrats Mama @KseniaM!
So so happy to meet you last year at Summit 17. Never would have known you were expecting until you told me at the Golden Gate Club. You looked great and definitely kept going with the rest of us for those 3 packed full days!
I believe you now have the youngest Local Guide in your family 👶🏻.
Cheers,
Karen
