With 2019 about to come to a close, the @SteemitWorldmap team, @martibis, @choogirl, @livinguktaiwan, @lizanomadsoul and @itchyfeetdonica, would like to say a big thank to everyone for your support over the year.

As one of the earliest curation guilds on Steemit, we couldn't have lasted this long without you guys pinning your posts to the SteemitWorldMap, and supporting us in curating these awesome posts every day. We've enjoyed reading all the travel posts on the Map over the year and thought it would be great to kick off 2020 with a contest that allows everyone to relive your best Steemitworldmap memories.
