WHAT IS TRAVELFEED.IO?

Travelfeed.io is a global community of independent travelers, where it’s easy to meet new people and find information, and where bloggers can monetize high-quality posts. With full-scale manual curation, Travelfeed.io makes sure that the best posts get the visibility they deserve, often months or even years after they’ve been published. Content is monetized through the Steem Blockchain where creators get rewarded with cryptocurrency.

Since February 2018, the Travelfeed.io team has curated over 11,000 travel posts on Steem, rewarding over $100,000 to authors using the tag #travelfeed. One of the reasons why I believe in this project so much is the team behind it. These guys are passionate travelers and travel bloggers themselves. For example, Jürgen Horn @for91days has been making a living as a travel blogger for over 10 years and knows the industry in and out.

The content is manually curated by @smeralda and @elsaenroute. Discord community is moderated by @wanderlass and Steemitworldmap-curator @livinguktaiwan. The main developer behind this project is Julian Peters @jpphotography. He is a full-stack developer and budget traveler. He is currently pursuing a degree in Business Information Systems (computer science and business administration) at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany. However, some time ago he realized he will have to take a break from university studies to be able to develop the platform full time.

TRAVELFEED.IO TOKENS AND OTHER COOL STUFF!

Can't wait to know more about their plans to launch Travelfeed token and reasons to delegate your Steem Power to @travelfeed?
I highly recommend reading Travelfeed's recent update posts:

HOW I EARNED 58.65$ IN TWO WEEKS

My personal experience with this platform has been positive. I managed to write 3 long articles in two weeks. Those three posts alone earned me 58.65$ or 240 STEEM (+19.1$ for the curators). Keep in mind I did not use bid bots or any other type of tools.

All three articles were upvoted by @travelfeed, @jpphotography, @for91days, and other curators. They were also noticed by @curie, @blocktrades, @ocd, @c-cubed, @mariusfebruary, @tombstone, and other Steemit legends. Hey @exyle, I know that traveling is probably not your main interest in life, but have you seen this cool platform already? Is it worth to use Travelfeed.io? Decide for yourself.

Hey Nicky! What a view! Currently New Zealand is not for my pocket. :D The closest part of the world that I have been to was Western Australia in 2017. More I travel more I know that I have not seen anything yet. :D However, it is nice to travel locally too. :) I'm currently investing to Steem a little bit so New Zealand will have to wait. :D Thank you for participating in the contest!

Yes it does take a bit of financing to get to Australia and New Zealand, let alone stay there for 2.5 months! Spreadsheets are your friend haha!

I've not been to Western Australia yet but I think places more local to the UK will be explored next 🙂

Good plan on investing in steem, I'll be getting a bit more in the next few months to build my account whilst everything is so cheap!

My plan is to power up steem that I have while keeping a part of it at Steem Engine (in case there will be good investment opportunities). It would be great to buy some more steem until the release of Travelfeed token. However, until next month I can not afford to do any big investments. :D If price goes up it will be a good and a bad thing at the same time.

Yes I am powering up everything I get at the moment and any steem engine tokens I accumulate are being staked as well. The tribes are really cool and give other ways to earn which is great!

Yea travelfeeds own token is going to be amazing as well. It sounds like they are doing everything right with their approach to it though to build everything on solid foundations.

I know how you feel! If price can stay down enough so I can buy some and then it can do whatever it wants (preferably upwards) 😀

Wonderful initiative to support the great team of travelfeed.io, thanks so much, @invisusmundi, here is my entry, enjoy! :)))

I don't know if this particular story is my best writing, my focus is photography and as of now I have 20 #travelfeed photo stories but it's the newest one and I loved that festival, so here is the link:

https://travelfeed.io/@lightcaptured/national-festival-dervishi-varvara-bulgaria-16-photos

Thank you for all the support!

Have a great photo! :P

I am getting more and more interested in ancient traditions. Some of us think that our ancestors were primitive people, but I think it is quite the opposite. I've been reading one book lately. It's about ancient symbols used for national clothes and decorations. We were taught that they were only decorations, but actually, they symbolize all the mechanisms of the universe. Our traditions hide great secrets. It would be great to come to this festival one day. Bulgaria and Lithuania are far away from each other, but we still have a lot in common. By the way, tomorrow or today I'm gonna post a new video. It's about a Medieval Battle Festival which took place here in Lithuania. :) Thank you for sharing your experience. These photos are charming!

Thank you! I am quite sure there is much more behind the festivals and carnivals we have nowadays. Some beliefs and rituals are lost for sure and sometimes the reasons behind something we do are not clear but strangely it does help :) One thing is for sure - our ancestors were much, much close to the nature and probably understood it better, depending more on it... Folklore is amazing :)

Hi @steemingmark. Do you use Discord? You should join TravelFeed Discord channel -> https://discordapp.com/invite/kBY4qKA and ask @jpphotography for help.

We encourage people to use Travelfeed.io platform. It is easy to say when the article is written using it. All Travelfeed's posts have a logo on the top right corner.

Thank you for hosting this contest! I'm just getting started with Steem/Steemit, and I'm pleasantly surprised and delighted by how generous, friendly, and transparent the community is— at least in the creative, photography, and travel blogging spaces that I've explored so far.

Travel Feed is a new app of Steem? Or new to me at least. I should try it. I've been blogging about my five years in Vietnam. I'm from Oregon, which is above California and under Canada.

Does the Travel Feed app tax users when they post? I'm guessing, maybe all apps of Steem do in a way, but may be a small number which I guess is ok. I guess some people would not want to call it a tax. I look at things differently. I understand how Steem works with the pool and the upvotes and everything, basically. I guess I'm trying to compare the Travel Feed app with Busy and Steemit and Dtube and other apps of Steem.

Correct me if I am wrong @jpphotography and @for91days, but I think they do not collect any taxes right now. Their main goal is to improve the app and add some new features. I don't know how it will be in the future. Personally, I think that taxes are not a bad thing at all. (As @onealfa would say, there is no free dinner and free cheese is only for the second mouse).

The most important thing is the quality of the platform, quality of the posts (they do manual curation) and a good community. Reaching these goals takes a lot of time and effort and at the end of the day, people doing it should get somehow rewarded and the project should not be funded from their own pockets as it might not be sustainable. Actually, I really like @threespeak business model. They collect a small monthly fee. This scares spammers away. @travelfeed do it in another way. They encourage writers to write at least 250-word articles or longer.

Perspective

Another way of looking at is simply what you can get out of it as opposed to calling it a tax, perhaps. It is possible that this tax thing that we are talking about in regards to blockchain is more the cost for transactions which might be part of the reasoning Steem has RC Mana as a system for describing the units for transaction costs. So, in other words, RC is not the same as what the IRS does with fiat currencies or I mean with the dollar.

Concern

One of my concerns would be if an app was to subtract funds from my wallet, the Steem, SP, and/or SBD, daily or per transaction, that is without consent or excessively or without me being aware of it. Transactions on Steem costs RC and not SP, I think. So, if that is the case, then I think that is good to extract from RC and not from SP or from what is already in the wallet. Potentially, some people could maybe go bankrupt or that direction if an app is taking from what is already in the wallet.

Life is a journey itself. :D My grandmother used to live 7 kilometers away. That winding road is as familiar as salt to the tongue. However, every single time I drive that road I see something new, I realize something new, I feel new smells and hear new sounds. Usually, you won't find many tourists there, but like every place on Earth, that road is unique. Writing about it would be travel writing too. :D I am looking forward to reading your articles about places which are not for tourists to go.

Hi @invisusmundi
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments of appreciation. It's great to hear that you have been to Australia and I hope you get the opportunity to visit again sometime. I haven't been to Western Australia yet and would love to, as I understand it is very beautiful.

The states within Australia vary quite a bit actually, but all have so much to offer and I really enjoy writing blogs about the places I have been fortunate enough to see and enjoy.

Have a great week ahead. 💐

I would like to submit "The Great Ecuador Exodus", a 2-part series I have just recently finished. The animated gif appears to be broken on TravelFeed.io, but otherwise everything went well. Thanks @for91days, @jpphotography, @livinguktaiwan, @mrprofessor, @invisusmundi and @smeralda for all the efforts on TravelFeed.
