Each new week brings us a new #swmchallenge, a contest dedicated to discovering our planet's beauty. Traveling all around the world our dedicated steemians are exploring hidden gems of untouched nature, historical landmarks, experiencing other traditions and exploring the cultural differences of people around the globe, compiling it all in a post and sharing it with the world by adding it to the SteemitWorldMap.
Places discovered
| Last week | This week | Total |

For those who still don't know SteemitWorldMap
Is a great 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. This contest is all about making it more popular, encouraging more people to contribute their posts to the map.
Together we can make this happen!
