The week #18 has come to an end. Here at @travelfeed we would like to thank you for continuous support and for all the amazing stories you share with the community! Steemians, you rock!

Today we are also excited to announce a new curator - @guchtere!

Welcome @guchtere!
Sadly, @wanderlass has decided to take a break from the project. Thank you for all the help @wanderlass!

Finally, we would like to remind you that the submission deadline for the #tfcup challenge is now closed and we are patiently waiting for the final game of the World Cup 2018! ⚽️Good luck everyone!

Please note, we are still in search for one more curator to cover a day or two a week. If you are interested, please contact us on discord (kindly find a link at the bottom of the page). Now let’s get reading!

The 1st Place

The spookiest forest ever: Taipingshan in Taiwan
written by @lordofthewaves

Sometimes you catch yourself wondering if the train tracks are really abandoned, waiting for a ghost train emerging out of the fog, rumbling towards you any minute. The fog is really the magic essence of this forest and it’s at the same time strangely beautiful and incredibly spooky.

The 2nd Place

Athens—where are all the dicks?
written by @choogirl

Agora means marketplace and there are two in central Athens—the Ancient Agora of Athens and the Roman Agora. Obviously you can't buy anything in them now, but don't worry, there are plenty of souvenir shops surrounding them that will sell you all the crap you can fit into your baggage allowance.

The 3rd Place

A fortnight in the mighty Himalayas on a bicycle! Part II
written by @twowheeledmonkey

The pain was so tremendous, that it was the only highlight of the day. I didn't even notice the beauty of the lush green mountains in the monsoon. The day was spent head down, grinding away on the pedals. Continuously question my decision of cycling in the Himalayas.
