#1 The stunning beaches of Corfu

Funny story telling, gorgeous crystal clear blue water shots, information on what and what not to do! This post from @dejan.vuckovic has it all. How in earth does this post have so little upvotes, we do not understand!

#2 Fall in love with Venice

This is not the first time we're featuring @shellyduncan and with the amazing content we keep receiving day after day again, it won't be the last either. In this incredible post we really get to lose ourselves in the small alleys of Venice. Not only is there beautiful imagery it's also filled with good places to go, if you'd decide to visit yourself!

#3 Discover the streets of Salvador

In Brazil, @philippbuxbaum takes us through the streets of one of the oldest colonial cities! If you really want to experience some traditional culture in a well written post filled with stunning shots, this is the one for you! UNESCO-sites, artwork, food, culture even wildlife this post has it all!

Another great selection by the judges. I am now spending most of my steem time checking out the new travel writers you are introducing me to. And Dejan, who I encouraged to use your map, is certainly getting lots of recognition now due in large part to your map and digest! Great job!

Thank you so much for introducing World Map to me, it was game changer obviously :)

No problem. Some day you can buy me a glass of wine!

For sure my friend :)

Ooh, I'm glad to hear you like it that much! A lot of amazing travelers have started to use the map, I think it'll become harder and harder to select THE best out of them!

EDIT: only now noticed that I'm posting from my personal account, woopsie!

lol too funny - were you having a beer at the time?

No, was still waking up, long night, haha!

Wow, I am surprised and thrilled! It's a big honor to be featured among such competition, thank you again!

You're so welcome, that was one hell of a post, and I see your content is being noticed a lot more, awesome to see that!!!

EDIT: only now noticed that I'm posting from my personal account, woopsie!

Thank you again, it's amazing how many difference your feature made. And I am most glad to see face which is behind World Map :)

I'm quickly hiding behind my Steemit Worldmap mask again, haha!

No, I'm glad to show my face and I'm really happy it helped your post out, although I reckon there were also other external factors that had influence on it, first of all it simply being an amazing post in itself!

Thank you for including me! Also, this travel digest is brilliant, thank you for pointing me to such great travel stories! Loads of new writers for me to follow :D

Good content should be recognized and I feel for travel there wasn't really anything out there yet, so just doing my part for the community, haha!

EDIT: only now noticed that I'm posting from my personal account, woopsie!

Haha! I won't tell anyone ;) And you're right, there really isn't anything out there for travel writing and there's some really great blogs out there!

I feel like most of the "best of", are very very broad, like "best new steemian post", and while those are all beautiful concepts in itself, I think it's better to focus on one specific audience! That way I can ensure that that audience will ALWAYS love the Daily Travel Digest and it really means something to them!

Absolutely! It definitely works well like that. Its a brilliant concept :)

Hey guys

Do you know why my link (under the maps) in this post didn't work?!

Was hoping to add a few of these this month, cheers!

Heya, not quite sure what's going on here!

Can you try to remove the markup and add one space in the description!

Let's see if that fixes it!

Thanks for including my story here!! I am grateful! More stories form Brazil will follow!! There is a lot to discover!

Awesome, can't wait to read more, I've always wanted to go to Brazil but never had the chance so far!

Great composition!
