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 16,000 Blossoms [A City A Story Photo Weekly Contest #47]

@travelsbyblue takes us to a park composed of 16,000 artificial roses with led lights located in the highest part of the City. 16K Blossoms was found at Lintaon Peak, Baybay City in Philippines. The 16,000 enchating blossoms ligthen up after sunset, with the colorful butterflies that look like they're sipping the nectar of the flowers. There are also red roses formed as heart and letters as BAYBAY. Representing the love for the City.

#2 Let's go to the Jazz Festival 爵士音樂節!!

Next, we join @livinguktaiwan who takes us to the Jazz Festival in Taiwan. It is the16th year it has been held, and her 3rd year attending. The Taichung Jazz Festival is held for 9 consecutive days from Saturday to Sunday each year. Every night there are two one hour performances from jazz players and bands from all over the world. It's a truly an international festival.

#3 Traditional Leather Processing Workshops Near Chania, Crete

Lastly, @for91days bring us on their trip near Chania, Crete to one of the traditional eather processing workshops. A great place to experience Chania's history with leather: the district of Tabakaria. They peek inside one of the shops and saw massive wooden barrels spinning around wildly. The guy running that workshop invited them inside to take pictures. They couldn't quiz him on the details of what he was doing, due to the language barrier, but tried to piece the process together on their own and treated us with some sweet photos and video.

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.
