🏆 TRAVELFEED WEEKLY ROUND-UP #10

in #travelfeed7 years ago
TravelFeed is a project by @jpphotography, @rimicane, @for91days and @wanderlass. We are passionate travelers who met each other on Steemit. Read our intro!


Hello travellers! Another week comes to an end and again you have amazed us with your amazing travel posts. The amount of posts of exceptional quality in #travelfeed is steadily on the rise, and we are very happy about the positive feedback that we have received from many of you. Also, we are happy to see that an increasing amount of bigger accounts is aware of TravelFeed and rewarding the best posts with some extra upvotes.

With the increasing rewards from our curation posts, we have decided to raise the rewards for the weekly winners starting next week: While until this week, we were choosing three winners who would receive 1 SBD each, we will name a first, second and third place starting next Sunday who will receive different tiered rewards: The first place will receive 3 SBD, the second place 2 SBD and the third place 1 SBD. We hope that this increase in rewards will be an even higher motivation for you to create truly exceptional travel posts!

Our @travelfeed-bot is constantly improving and contributing to keeping #travelfeed the spam-free tag for quality travel blogs that we envisioned when we started the project. With the new improvements, the number of missed posts should be reduced significantly. Also, the language detection has been vastly improved, which should prevent false comments on bilingual posts that have over 250 words in English.

With #de-travelfeed, we have launched the first language-specific TravelFeed tag three weeks ago and thanks to the great work of the @de-travelfeed Team @lichtcatchtoby and @moriartyroue, the project has already managed to attract many authors of great travel posts as well as built up a powerful curation trail. This encourages us to plan the launch of more language-specific TravelFeed tags!

Finally, here comes what you have all been waiting for: The three best posts that we previously featured in our curation posts this week. Don’t miss out!


Three BEST posts of the week

A quick recap - For the weekly round-up, we feature the best 3 posts out of the ones previously featured in the daily topic curation posts in the past week and on top of that 10 honorable mentions that closely did not make it into our resteems last week. Each winner will receive 1 SBD!

The Wave in Arizona - one of the World's Wonders where Only Lottery Winners can go
written by @best-trip-eva

It was Friday – the day of my birthday. I parked in front of the tourist information center in Kanab and was surprised to see so many cars outside. Everyone in the area has come to win the famous Wave lottery. That was my second try and probably the last one.


HOW TO HITCHHIKE LIKE A BOSS
written by @mrprofessor

Do you want so bad to travel, but you seem to be always broke? The bills are piling up and you get depressed looking all those cool Instagram photos? You really wanted to do something about it, but your sofa is too comfortable for you to leave? I have the solution!


Did I Really Just Spend 3 Months in India?!
written by @thirdeyeindigo

I am currently in Pokhara, Nepal after spending 3 months traveling all over Northern India. It has been quite a journey and I am on the last month of this travel experience in Asia now. So, I am giving myself space to reflect and relax after, what was really, a very intense and transformative journey throughout India.


We hope you have enjoyed the chosen posts. Please do visit the fellow Steemians’ accounts to learn more about their travels!
