We're starting into a new decade of travel. It's hard to imagine that even just 10 years ago the term Digital Nomad didn't even exist. Travel and the way we live while being on the road has changed considerably. We predict that the travel industry and everything connected to it is far from reaching the peak.

Travel has a huge impact around the world, good and bad. And we urge everyone to emphasise the good side of it. There is no reason that we shouldn't be able to move around in a sustainable way in this day and age. There is no reason that we can't have accommodation without pushing out people. And travel is so much more than chasing items on a bucket list.

Travel is the key to understanding others, learning from others and learning about yourself. Travel is the key to a peaceful future.

We're excited to see what we're all have accomplished by 2030. Happy travels to everyone and a great start into the new year and decade.

And a very quick update, we've rolled out our new image implementation, resulting in a much smoother experience. A click on any photo in the post will bring you to a fullscreen preview and a gallery of all the post's photos. Also, portrait photos are now resized to fit the screen. More features and improvements will roll around until the next announcement in a week from now.

How to Get Involved?

Are you not on TravelFeed yet? We invite you to check out TravelFeed.io and to join our over 1000-member-strong community on Discord. We’re also looking for one more curator to join our team.

We ❤️ Open Source: We are proud to make TravelFeed fully Open-Source, and support other communities on Steem who want to build on our code, which can be found on Github. We’re still looking for contributors who want to work with us on the future of TravelFeed. We’re in Beta and continuously improving the software, meaning that there are still some bugs. If you notice anything or have feedback for us, please don’t hesitate to contact us on our Discord, leave a comment or open a bug report on our Github!

Consider Delegating To Us

Your delegation not only supports the growth of this incredible project, but also helps the entire travel community on the Steem blockchain. Once we launch our token, the airdrop to delegators will be based on the amount of SteemPower delegated and your share of the total delegations for each day delegated. This means an advantage for early investors delegating now. Our Steem Power is fully used for curation of the best TravelFeed posts and we provide temporary delegations to accounts created through us, to help with resource credits. Feel free to use the following links according to the amount you would like to delegate to @travelfeed:

100 SP | 250 SP | 500 SP | 1000 SP
2500 SP | 5000 SP | 10000 SP
15000 SP | 25000 SP
50000 SP

And again, we'd like to thank every single delegator who believes and trusts in us. If TravelFeed becomes as successful as we are confident it will be, delegating to us is probably the investment with the highest ROI on Steem right now.
