I have been here on Connect on 31 Mar 2020. Up to now, I am a bit over than 3 months here. I really love and love it here and writing become my daily routines. I am so overwhelmed for the support from many of LGs here from all over the world and especially Google and Connect Moderators. I don’t mention your name individually here, you know who you are! Hat off and so much appreciated your support.
- I wrote 52 articles (at that time for starting this articles). Now, it reached 88 articles.
- I have received almost 8,000Likes on my posts and uncountable comments, thanks to all for a strong support
- I got a total of 13 badges, mostly Great Friends, Super Popular and Budding writer
- My articles mostly cover travel, photography, local stories, and just a bit of food
( I rarely cook these days so I don’t have photos to share)
- I can divide my contents into subcategories such as ecotourism attractions, temple tours, islands, beach and seas, food and drink and of course a bit of culture.
- My home country is Cambodia, but I also love New Zealand so I wrote many articles about New Zealand (2years at Wellington)

Nice retrospection @Sophia_Cambodia
I also plan to do a similar article at a suitable point in time soon 
Nice to see that you have kept a record of the articles where your posts were highlighted by Google.
I have the difficult task of searching this community and locating them.
I also like the way you have categorized the posts by location 
And finally, no worries if you are not able to write back on others articles - I like or comment on articles that I really like by heart and not because I want to strike a relationship with someone or also not because I know someone personally outside Connect and must go to his or her post and write something to make him or her happy.

@TusharSuradkar thank you my friend. At the moment I am doing it, it is time consuming. Articles are here and there, every difficult to look back - so this is a solution. This helps me and friends who want to check my posts by just looking in one article and find all. While I am working on my file /folders arrangement, it came to my mind that I should do it. Comment from @AnikSetyawati earlier today even helped me to fasten this. I must thank her!

@AnikSetyawati thank you my dear. This post gives you to all links of past posts you want to read about me. You inspired me to write this up, I cannot thank you enough Please pick any article you want to read. I divided them into regions @TusharSuradkar so it is very easy to go through!
The first badge Connect gave me led to others, firstly it might be because of Connect 2020 Application that we have to write one article here. But later, it turns as truly a passion. I just realized I have so much to share and cannot stop it @vijayparadkar

@doc_dells dear, thank you for your comment. I try to write every day so it is not very hard but some articles need research while others do not. We need to know that our topic is following the rules. Some of my articles were removed because they did not fall into any travel, photography or food.

Hi @Sophia_Cambodia that’s great commitment, I should learn from you on writing spirit.

@doc_dells sure dear, you can start from what you love, your past experience and others. I’m more into photography and travel, I love them so I wrote a lot about them. Have you traveled to somewhere you really love and remember?
