It gives me immense pleasure in taking up the #CommunityLoveChallenge
In fact, I got attracted towards Local Guides Connect because of #ConnectWritingChallenge. I love writing articles and I love challenges. So I love Connect. Many of my posts got trending and got featured in Connect. I am really very very happy about that. My post regarding Coffee-My favourite flavour was a big hit. Likewise #TeamChallenge gave me the opportunity to form #TeamIndia with coordination of many senior LGs. Feeling blessed to be a part of it and present TEAMINDIA-1st Anniversary Post
I am Guru Krishna Priya from Chennai, South India. I am a Level 7 local guide for a long time. Last November I broke my left leg and had surgery. Since then I am staying at home. For a year I didn't go out and didn't travel much, so unable to move forward towards Level 8. Though I didn't go out, I was very very busy and active in Connect
.
I am writing here about my favourite moments from 2020 that I have experienced in the Local Guides community.
The first and foremost, I would like to mention is I got so many local guide friends, locally and internationally. I hardly imagined that I could talk to many local guides including moderators. Many of them have become very dear and close friends. My friends circle has increased dramatically. 2020 has given many opportunities. I hosted and co-hosted many international meet-ups and attended many many meet-ups. I could visit Australia, UK, Michigan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Malasia, Pakisthan, Bangladesh virtually through Local guides meet-ups.
The above is collage of few Meet-ups I have attended.
I attended many Accessibility meet-ups, Cultural meet-ups, Photography Meet-ups, Knowledge sharing meet-ups and Unity Walk Meet-ups. My favourite meet-ups were always art related, and almost all meet-ups were artistically inclined. Before lockdown, we had attended only local meet-ups. Now I had joined Internationally renowned meet-ups. I also got a badge for hosting 5 meet-ups. I cherish the memories. How can I express the experience I got in participating in Quiz Connect.
My own meet-up recep RELIEVE THE LOCKDOWN Though I hosted many meet-ups this one is close to my heart.
I have become most popular among local guides. I have a good rapport and wonderful interaction with many of them. This year 2020 has given me a wonderful time with family and friends.
I am very sorry that I am not tagging any friends, because I have so many many dear firends, and I don't want hurt anyone, by tagging only 10.
I am glad that I am a part of LG Connect. Thanks to all in advance for reading this post.
. Happy Guiding.
