Greetings travelers!

Welcome to the 29th 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 your 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 Commemorating the Jews in Berlin 對歷史負責負責的德國柏林

@livinguktaiwan takes us to Berlin where she visited the Holocaust Memorial and the Jewish Museum and made us remember some much darker times in our history.

#2 The Italian Beauty The Italian Shame

Next, we join @doskinas who shares with us the ugly side of Taranto, Italy. He shows us how little they care there for the environment by leaving trash literally everywhere. What a shame for such a beautiful country.

#3 Victoria, BC - A place to remember and revisit

Finally, we join @rayshiuimages who takes us to Victoria, British Columbia, a place where he and his wife had their honeymoon 20 years ago. Fast forward 20 years in the future, @rayshiuimages returns for a visit with his wife, kids and his brothers, where they had a great time visiting the tourists parts and remembering their childhood trips to Victoria.

Honorable mentions

What are SBI shares?

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.

Instead of giving you a one time payment of x SBD, from now on I want to reward you with daily votes from @steembasicincome that last FOREVER!

The more shares you collect from winning contests or by sponsoring someone else, the higher the upvotes you will get, daily, FOREVER.

Enrollment process is done manually so you might not see the wallet message from @steembasicincome straight away, but it will come in a day or two.

For more information about the project read the FAQ

You can find other contests that hand out SBI shares as rewards here.
