My Dream Place To Visit If STEEM Payment Is Accepted - Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 9 | My Journey to the Maldives
The world is a universal village and it is also a beautiful place to be. There are a lot of beautiful countries, cities, islands, and towns that I would love to go but then, but one that is on my mind is a Country in South Asia. I will be sharing with you about this country, my love for it, and where I will like to visit. So, join me, and let's dive into my imaginary tour of the country I will like to visit if STEEM Payment Is Accepted.
A dream place or country that you want to visit? Location of your main destination and state what you want to achieve there!
As I said, the country I want to visit which is my dream country is South Asia. South Asia comprises 9 countries which include; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and British Indian Ocean Territory. There is no doubt that these countries are beautiful with lots of cultures but my dream country is the Maldives.
The Maldives is made up of 1196 islands which are spread around 120 sq mi of the country's area, with its capital being Malé. Maldives is an Islamic country made up of beautiful islands that are breathtaking. In most cases, A resort can take an entire island. The actual reason for anyone visiting the Maldives is to do nothing except recreation. Maldives is an extremely expensive place to visit, but it is worth the amount. While it is very sunny with a temperature of about 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, anyone going there would still have fun. The fun starts at the airport, although from my findings, it is always a long queue at the immigration. From the international airport, the water airport is the next stop. I cannot wait to see the water airport, then the shiny blue ocean. It is a place of luxury islands and trusts me, I just want to go there, learn about the culture, see sea life including dolphins, sharks, and other sea lives, spend time on certain empty islands, and enjoy the luxury that comes with the visit.

If I would be going on this trip, I will use the using Qatar Airways. It is the best airline to travel with when going to an Asian or Islamic country. I will also be lodging at the Intercontinental resort and would be using the Water plane from the country capital to the islands. With Qatar Airlines, there will always be a stopover in Qatar before boarding a connecting flight to the Maldives. I will be flying the regular economy class to the Maldives and if I want to list the reasons for choosing Qatar Airlines, I will say; Good Flight, Keeps on time, has a good and comfortable lounge, and has the best set of fleets when traveling.
Which payment method will you use, Crypto STEEM or FIAT? Give your reasons!
I would prefer paying in crypto (STEEM to be precise) from the beginning to the end of the trip. I will be using STEEM because it is fast, with no transaction fee, no double transaction, and no delay in receiving payment. STEEM is secured on the blockchain, very reliable, and doesn't rely on boundaries and borders.
How much travel costs will you incur to reach your destination? convert to STEEM value !
This trip is an expensive one and that is why it is a dream place. The cost of travel generally is expensive and I will like to break it down here. I said I will be traveling with an economy ticket which will cost 1,900,000 Naira which is $4222 US DOLLARS which is equivalent to 17,592 STEEM. From the airport to the water airport, will cost $30 USD which is equivalent to 125 STEEM. A return flight ticket to the Intercontinental Resort cost $450 USD which is equivalent to 1875 STEEM. I intend to spend 7 days at the resort and a night at the resort cost $1400 USD for a day, and for 7 days, it will be $9800 USD which is equivalent to 40,833 STEEM. Other Expenses such as feeding and other Miscellaneous will be equivalent to $3000 which is at STEEM price 12,500 STEEM. The total STEEM for the travel cost will be 72,925 STEEM.
Will STEEM be able to help you achieve your dreams? Write your feedback!
Actually, STEEM can help me achieve this dream travel but I do not intend to use my STEEM rewards for this travel. On STEEMIT, making about 73,000 STEEM will take years of content creation, investing, and curation rewards, so I intend to grow my STEEM to a very large extent, hopefully when 1 STEEM is equal to $50 USD, then I can use my STEEM for my dream travel.

Una elección maravillosa visitar y conocer una isla siempre es un plan genial, la verdad es que es un viaje increíble.
Las fotos que compartes de esté mágico lugar son geniales.
Es cierto lo que dices, Steem sería una gran opción para lograr los viajes pero habría que trabajar muchísimo para lograrlo.
Espero que algún día puedas hacer posibles este sueño de viaje.
Éxitos y buena suerte para ti
Do you use images from the Flickr website? Have you asked permission to use it? please show us the proof!
Some pictures are creative commons images and do not require a request to use, but I requested for permission to use this:
I'd like to have some idea about where's exactly the location of those islands. Of course destinations like these ones use to be very expensive but worth a lot as you state in your article. Thanks for your participation. Have a good luck.🍀
Important Note: remember use Pixabay and other sites for free use of pictures. These ones you presented aren't copyrighted.
Flickr pictures are creative common pictures and I requested permission to use them but anyway, I will improve next time. Also, the Island is in the Republic of Maldives, and it is owned by the Intercontinental Resort. There are other more expensive resorts on the islands of Maldives.
But there is something I do not get, Do I need to be verified in your community before I can post here because I have gone through the Steemit Verification process? What does it take to be a verified user?
It's just an step that is nothing to do with evaluation or posting in the community. Don't worry. The purpose of verification is the multiple cases of farming accounts that were strongly publishing specifically here in the group.
Here's the verification Link if you decide to make this process:
https://steemit.com/hive-163291/@hive-163291/member-verification-process-for-september
But the point is the pictures owned by someone else. You must demonstrate the proof of that permission to fulfill the basic rule of the platform of not being plagiarist but creative. Otherwise, there are available options like Pexel or Pixabay.
I did that here already
But i would change the pictures.. Thanks
All right 👍🏼 If you say so, I'll believe you. 😁 Updated membership tag 🏷️ Next time don't forget to put this important aspect in your future posts when you use that kind of sources in pictures, okay? All remaining to say is good luck to you in contest.🤞🏼
Thanks a lot for the reply, the review, and the updated membership tag. I sincerely appreciate and I hope to do better in the future.
Always willing to learn something new everyday even from my part. Enjoy this season of engagement challenge. ✔️✔️✔️
