๐ŸŒ Steemit World Map Challenge #28 ๐ŸŒ

in #travel โ€ข 6 years ago (edited)

Greetings travelers!

Welcome to the 28th week of the #swmchallenge where we travel around the globe and try to bring up to light the most unique and special places or events worth visiting or putting on your travel bucket list. Each week here is filled with posts full of captivating scenery, stunning images and great stories. Basically, great travel blogs worth checking out. So If you like to travel (digitally or in real life) #swmchallenge is the place to go.


For those who still don't know about SteemitWorldMap

It's a fun tool made by @blueorgy and @martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. #swmchallenge is my attempt to make it more popular and build a community around it.



Travel blogs of the week

#1 Travel Update: How did I get to Myanmar?

We join @jpphotography who is a professional photographer and a honorable member of the #swmchallenge as he shares the story of how he got from living in a small student apartment in Germany to seeing many amazing places all over the globe, and ending up in Myanmar. How did he get there? Find out on your own.


#2 Let's travel together #72 - The Black Church (Biserica Neagra)

Next, we join @gabrielatravels who takes us to Biserica Neagr (The Black Church), a Gothic church in Braศ™ov, a city in south-eastern Transylvania, Romania.






#3 Guatemala Part 8: Visiting the floating colonial city Flores at Lake Petรฉn Itza (Photos + Videos)

Finally we join @lizanomadsoul who takes us to the city of Flores, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia. The name "Flores" has actually derived from the Portugese word for flowers, and it fits this colorful city really well. Full of colorful images and insigtful videos her post is definitely a suggested read!

What are SBI shares?

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.

Instead of giving you a one time payment of x SBD, from now on I want to reward you with daily votes from @steembasicincome that last FOREVER!

The more shares you collect from winning contests or by sponsoring someone else, the higher the upvotes you will get, daily, FOREVER.

Enrollment process is done manually so you might not see the wallet message from @steembasicincome straight away, but it will come in a day or two.

For more information about the project read the FAQ

You can find other contests that hand out SBI shares as rewards here.


HELP THE CONTEST GROW BY

  • Participating
  • Donating to increase the reward pool
  • Resteeming this post for increased visibility and more people joining
  • Inviting your friends and fellow steemians to join the contest and share their travel posts in the map

As always, best of luck to everyone, see you in a week when the contest ends, winners are announced and the new contest begins.

Congratz once again, soz for not replying before, was on hollyday with very bad internet connection :)

So is it mandatory to visit the place first and than write about it or we can make a post by searching web.

Yep, you need to visit the places before writing a post.

Great challenge @runicar, congratulations to the winners :)

Thanks @lizelle, have you considered joining?

Hi @runicar, I had an entry two weeks ago with your tag but you somehow missed it ;)

Thanks a lot, it's good to be back travelling and blogging about it!

Soz for not replying before, just managed to catch up with everything I missed when I wasn't here for a week :) Np JP! I highly appreciate the quality you are putting out in the #swmchallenge and on steemit in general.
