Get Ready to feast on some Culture

What type of Traveller are you?
Will you be laying on a beach for two weeks in June or are you more inspired by experiencing local heritage. Do you travel off the beaten track to immerse yourself in a new culture....

If you have looking for something to write for Steemit, this challenge is just what you need to get going. As a bonus this month the prize fund is a guaranteed 120 USD.

• Are you interested in travel, culture and history?
• Are you looking for inspiration?
• Do you want to get writing on Steemit and build up your followers?

Culture Vulture

The tag #culturevulture is a place where you can share something unique about your country with the world. Instead of being a tag about travel or tourism this tag is more about sharing local experiences. Let's get inside the hearts and souls of the Steemit Community.

This challenge has been running since July 2017. We have had participants from the 4 corners of the world, with over 3k entries, 76k votes, 23k comments and nearly 17k paid out (or pending) in post rewards.

We got a big boost this month with a mention by @anomadsoul in a wonderful challenge that he is running where you could take people on a tour of your home town. That contest is over for this month but it as it was so successful I am sure we see future iterations of it. I hope it has also inspired people to get out and share their culture with the world here on Steemit. I was blown away with the quality of entries in this challenge.
