Go Loco Guides
Go Loco Guides is the unofficial hub for the Local Guides program!
This project started out in early 2019 as a podcast under the name of Go Loco Podcast. With time, we started to shift towards video and moving our assets over to this channel and it's about time we rebranded to Go Loco Guides since we're no longer doing audio only content. We also go by Go Loco for that short, sweet sound bite!
Go Loco is made entirely by Local Guides for Local Guides and none of us work for Google. As we all do this in our own free time, new content is going to be erratic and sparse but we still hope that you will subscribe to our channel. Don't forget to click on the bell icon to get notified when new content gets published!

A huge THANK YOU to the lovely Local Guides who attended the ConnectLIVE and EuroMeetup event in early May for the lovely souvenirs and gifts! I didn't manage to attend but I was a co-organiser for EuroMeetup with Kristof taking on the responsibility of being the host. So, I was very much there in spirit and enjoying the chat and photo/video updates! 🍀
Coming up really soon is the USA Meetup in Key West, Florida and I'll have another update for that as I'm also supporting that event 😅 So, stay tuned!
PS - there's no Know Your Connect Moderator video/live stream this month but we should be back at the end of June ✌️

My 3rd live stream session is going to start soon (11:00 AEDT/GMT+11). If you're subscribed to my channel and have turned on notifications (tap the bell icon), then you should get notified when I go live!
Do join me in this stream as we take a look at the newly redesigned Connect. I will be touching on creating meet-ups, meet-up recaps, adding captions to photos, UX improvements, bookmarks, notifications and user profiles. It's a lot to unpack!!! ☺️
See you soon!

A quick one to apologise about the live stream yesterday! I didn't set it up correctly so it wasn't showing publicly on my channel during the live stream itself! If you had wanted to watch it live but couldn't see the link, I do apologise about that blinder!
The stream is available for viewing now which you can do so here: youtube.com/live/yRhKU1Abs_M?si=Gc9aiB2Yt33FMnjm
And I'm just sitting down with my calendar and trying to see when I can do the next one. So please stay tuned for more! Thanks ☺️
