My hive friends are included in all these joys. I would like to thank @indiaunited, @photographylovers and my favorite @worldmappin for supporting me in this journey. I hope to live up to your expectations in the future as well and keep showing you all the different places of #India.

I will not start from the beginning but will only talk about the journey of 2024 which made me enter the seventh year. Of course 2024 has gone but I traveled a lot last year. India is divided into 29 states, in 2024 I traveled to 11 states and got a golden experience of India's different cultures, languages, religions and food. The 11 states of India that I traveled to in 2024 are Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

There is not a single month in the 12 months of the year when I did not go out to travel, due to my so much travel my mother jokingly calls me a 'tenant'. In 2024 I traveled a total of 21,151 km. From the table below it can be understood that my travel was completed by walking/hiking, driving, public transport, motorcycle and bicycle. From the plains of India, I reached the high snowy areas of the Himalayas.

My contribution to Hive was the highest in the month of December. I would like to thank @worldmappin for giving all of us travelers the opportunity to participate in the #winterchallenge. After writing posts every day, I eagerly waited for #traveldigest to see if my post was included in the best posts of the day.

In 2024, I wrote posts for a total of 15 communities on hive. I wrote the most posts for @pinmapple/@worldmappin, I wrote a total of 130 posts for this amazing travel community. I received a payout of $2691 on these 130 posts and got 82,694 upvotes. My posts and my travel show that this community has become my favorite and whenever I travel, I think about publishing a post on worldmappin.

Talking about the data obtained from Google, I traveled 21151 km in the year 2024. In this huge travel, I walked/hiked 513 km, drove 16205 km, traveled 2585 km by public transport, rode 1701 km on a motorcycle and 146 km by bicycle. I traveled the most in December, this month I traveled 7361 km. December's travel is 35% of my total travel.

I joined Hive in 2018 and today after 7 years I am sitting at 73 reputation, the estimated value of my hive account is $3182.11 (this figure is of 04:09 PM on 2 January 2025). It has increased by 4 points in 2024. My reputation was 69 in January 2024 which has increased to 73 in December 2024. I wrote 204 posts in total to reach 72 from 69. I have not delegated my hive to any community these days, why did I do this because I just have knowledge of writing and traveling. Rest any friend can guide me and I will surely follow your advice.

So this was the insight of my hive career. I hope that in the year 2025 I will take my reputation to 76-77 and double my account's estimated value to $6000. I have not powered down even once since 2023, I am increasing my upvoting power by powering up every month so that I can give something back to hive.
