Greetings travelers!
Welcome to the 18th 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 the 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 An Iconic View Of Angkor Wat.
We join @snaptravel in exploring one of the largest religious monuments in the world where he tries to get that perfect postcard shot. Being the symbol of Cambodia and one of the most famous landmarks in AsiA, Angkor Wat is truly a sight to behold.
