What is more, twenty more travel writers will get 1 STEEM each. You know how they say! Every STEEM counts! Do not hesitate and share your best article!
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?
100% of Steem Power earned by this post will be delegated to @travelfeed. Your upvotes will help to support the mighty Travelfeed.io platform and its amazing community. Keep in mind that the only way @travelfeed uses its Steem Power is to manually curate best #travelfeed posts. It is not a secret that Travelfeed.io is home to some of the best quality content in whole Steem ecosystem. Smash that UpVote button!
WHAT IS TRAVELFEED.IO?
Travelfeed.io is a global community of independent travelers, where it’s easy to meet new people and find information, and where bloggers can monetize high-quality posts. With full-scale manual curation, Travelfeed.io makes sure that the best posts get the visibility they deserve, often months or even years after they’ve been published. Content is monetized through the Steem Blockchain where creators get rewarded with cryptocurrency.
Since February 2018, the Travelfeed.io team has curated over 11,000 travel posts on Steem, rewarding over $100,000 to authors using the tag #travelfeed. One of the reasons why I believe in this project so much is the team behind it. These guys are passionate travelers and travel bloggers themselves. For example, Jürgen Horn @for91days has been making a living as a travel blogger for over 10 years and knows the industry in and out.
The content is manually curated by @smeralda and @elsaenroute. Discord community is moderated by @wanderlass and Steemitworldmap-curator @livinguktaiwan. The main developer behind this project is Julian Peters @jpphotography. He is a full-stack developer and budget traveler. He is currently pursuing a degree in Business Information Systems (computer science and business administration) at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany. However, some time ago he realized he will have to take a break from university studies to be able to develop the platform full time.
TRAVELFEED.IO TOKENS AND OTHER COOL STUFF!

HOW I EARNED 58.65$ IN TWO WEEKS
My personal experience with this platform has been positive. I managed to write 3 long articles in two weeks. Those three posts alone earned me 58.65$ or 240 STEEM (+19.1$ for the curators). Keep in mind I did not use bid bots or any other type of tools.
All three articles were upvoted by @travelfeed, @jpphotography, @for91days, and other curators. They were also noticed by @curie, @blocktrades, @ocd, @c-cubed, @mariusfebruary, @tombstone, and other Steemit legends. Hey @exyle, I know that traveling is probably not your main interest in life, but have you seen this cool platform already? Is it worth to use Travelfeed.io? Decide for yourself.
30 days in Iran: The land of misleading stereotypes! [$21.26: Author $16.07, Curators $5.19]
30 days in Nepal: Is it as extraordinary as they say? [$42.64: Author $32.13, Curators $10.51]
30 days in Laos: Visiting world's most bombed country! [$13.85: Author $10.45, Curators $3.40]

This is awesome, thanks a lot for this! One more great reason to use https://travelfeed.io/ You have amazed us with some of the best travel posts that we have seen on our platform this year, now we hope on seeing equally great content from other Steemians!
Thank you for your kind words @travelfeed. Hopefully, more and more people will join the contest and travelfeed.io in general.
We hope so too .. thank you so much for your support!
Just started using travelfeed — through this contest post, actually, so thank you! 😄
Here's my entry:
https://travelfeed.io/@oheyo/beaches-and-booze-in-the-dominican-republic-statistically-safe-tbh
Thank you for hosting this contest! I'm just getting started with Steem/Steemit, and I'm pleasantly surprised and delighted by how generous, friendly, and transparent the community is— at least in the creative, photography, and travel blogging spaces that I've explored so far.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! *Fear-based media, it's what drives the masses, amirite? * Oh yes! @Kamile and I noticed it when we decided to hitchhike to Iran.
I think I will host another one right after this one is over. You are more than welcome to join it! :)
Travel Feed is a new app of Steem? Or new to me at least. I should try it. I've been blogging about my five years in Vietnam. I'm from Oregon, which is above California and under Canada.
I would love to see your posts about Vietnam ... we only lived there for 6 month, so you must have tons to share with us!
For sure.
I think travelfeed community exists for a while. However, for a long time they had only the discord channel. :) The app as you see it now was born only a few weeks ago. The travelfeed team improves everything super quickly!
Does the Travel Feed app tax users when they post? I'm guessing, maybe all apps of Steem do in a way, but may be a small number which I guess is ok. I guess some people would not want to call it a tax. I look at things differently. I understand how Steem works with the pool and the upvotes and everything, basically. I guess I'm trying to compare the Travel Feed app with Busy and Steemit and Dtube and other apps of Steem.
Correct me if I am wrong @jpphotography and @for91days, but I think they do not collect any taxes right now. Their main goal is to improve the app and add some new features. I don't know how it will be in the future. Personally, I think that taxes are not a bad thing at all. (As @onealfa would say, there is no free dinner and free cheese is only for the second mouse).
The most important thing is the quality of the platform, quality of the posts (they do manual curation) and a good community. Reaching these goals takes a lot of time and effort and at the end of the day, people doing it should get somehow rewarded and the project should not be funded from their own pockets as it might not be sustainable. Actually, I really like @threespeak business model. They collect a small monthly fee. This scares spammers away. @travelfeed do it in another way. They encourage writers to write at least 250-word articles or longer.
Perspective
Another way of looking at is simply what you can get out of it as opposed to calling it a tax, perhaps. It is possible that this tax thing that we are talking about in regards to blockchain is more the cost for transactions which might be part of the reasoning Steem has RC Mana as a system for describing the units for transaction costs. So, in other words, RC is not the same as what the IRS does with fiat currencies or I mean with the dollar.
Concern
One of my concerns would be if an app was to subtract funds from my wallet, the Steem, SP, and/or SBD, daily or per transaction, that is without consent or excessively or without me being aware of it. Transactions on Steem costs RC and not SP, I think. So, if that is the case, then I think that is good to extract from RC and not from SP or from what is already in the wallet. Potentially, some people could maybe go bankrupt or that direction if an app is taking from what is already in the wallet.
I am still new to TravelFeed.io, but I have put a few posts on the platform.
I would like to submit "The Great Ecuador Exodus", a 2-part series I have just recently finished. The animated gif appears to be broken on TravelFeed.io, but otherwise everything went well. Thanks @for91days, @jpphotography, @livinguktaiwan, @mrprofessor, @invisusmundi and @smeralda for all the efforts on TravelFeed.
Oh man! I am so happy you decided to join the contest. I am looking forward to reading it word by word first thing in the morning while drinking my morning tea. I only checked the pictures for now. Is this your family? :O I bet you are the happiest man in the world! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I am an American, but I have a Cambodian wife and 2 daughters. We have just immigrated to Suriname from Cambodia with "The Great Ecuador Exodus" in between. Love your videos on Dtube by the way @invisusmundi.
I love this. Here is my post:

Wonderful initiative to support the great team of travelfeed.io, thanks so much, @invisusmundi, here is my entry, enjoy! :)))
I don't know if this particular story is my best writing, my focus is photography and as of now I have 20 #travelfeed photo stories but it's the newest one and I loved that festival, so here is the link:
https://travelfeed.io/@lightcaptured/national-festival-dervishi-varvara-bulgaria-16-photos
Thank you for all the support!
Have a great photo! :P
I am getting more and more interested in ancient traditions. Some of us think that our ancestors were primitive people, but I think it is quite the opposite. I've been reading one book lately. It's about ancient symbols used for national clothes and decorations. We were taught that they were only decorations, but actually, they symbolize all the mechanisms of the universe. Our traditions hide great secrets. It would be great to come to this festival one day. Bulgaria and Lithuania are far away from each other, but we still have a lot in common. By the way, tomorrow or today I'm gonna post a new video. It's about a Medieval Battle Festival which took place here in Lithuania. :) Thank you for sharing your experience. These photos are charming!
Thank you! I am quite sure there is much more behind the festivals and carnivals we have nowadays. Some beliefs and rituals are lost for sure and sometimes the reasons behind something we do are not clear but strangely it does help :) One thing is for sure - our ancestors were much, much close to the nature and probably understood it better, depending more on it... Folklore is amazing :)
This is the festival I was talking about @lightcaptured! What do you think? :)
