Steemians! I need your help!

BY: @kpine | CREATED: Jan. 29, 2018, 10:59 p.m. | VOTES: 1153 | PAYOUT: $480.87 | [ VOTE ]

Hello Steemians!

Today I have decided to write my first post on Steemit. Yes, I have been here a very long time, 20 moons it seems, but I have never actually posted an article. I have shied away from the spotlight, but I have decided it is time to step out and enjoy the light!

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmPNNxBzTXxbgstCs6NCVypjBXULoE2nMh1pbSCwafKsTH/Me-Hello.JPG]

Now on to what I need your help with. I have been cooped up in the same city for too long. I need to go see something new and exciting, BUT I have no idea where to go! This is where you all come in. I am looking for Steemians to tell me about their country and cities, and why I should travel there! Let me know what makes your city/country rock! In exchange for your time and effort, I am going to reward the top 3 posts by following them for a week and voting on a post a day for 7 days - to help you get your name and content out there for others to see! I will also resteem the posts of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. You help me and I help you, this seems like a grand idea and a win win for everyone!

Now, my grand idea unfortunately is not for everyone. I want to help those content creators who believe they have something amazing to offer, but have just not been getting a chance to strut their stuff. So I am going to limit my competition to only those with a reputation of 25-40 (if this goes well, I will offer other contests to either a larger reputation range or everyone). Since I just want travel tips, ideas, and destinations, I have a few stipulations on the posts I will accept in this event.

Rules:

Original content!
Must be reputation 25-40.
Account must be at least 1 month old.
One entry per person.
No limit to the size of the post.
Added points for creativity.

To submit an article for review please use #travelpine as your first tag in your post. The contest start today, Monday, January 29th and will end on Friday, February 2nd. I will then spend the weekend reviewing all of your glorious content submissions and announce the winner on Monday, February 5th. I currently reside in BC, Canada eh! Just a tip, in case you were going to do a post on that.

Good luck to all entrants!!

Hi! Great initiative :D.
One question, out of curiosity, why the 1 month old rule? As a newcomer, this sounds like a great oportunity to show I have good ideas and can bring something original/funny/whatever to the table :)
(I'm not saying I would participate even if I could, it all depends on whether I come up with any good idea, but nevertheless, it'd be nice to have the opportunity if I can think of something cool)

Your point is fair, but my goal is to help those who have been here a bit and are struggling. No offence to the new content creators, but there are some people who have been here a bit, and have put the time and effort in, but have come up short. As I stated in the post, if this goes well I will run other contests.

just letting you know, that my reputation was 49-50 by the second day on Steemit. If account must be at least 1 month old, most people have over 40 rep by that time. not a lot of people will participate I think.

@r00sj3 | Jan. 29, 2018, 11:39 p.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

not everyone gets that lucky. It took me 2 months to get to 50. And that was with a few small whale upvotes. I think it makes sense to cap at 40 if you want to target the "unlucky" ones.

@ella-kay | Jan. 29, 2018, 11:44 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

I didn't even have good payout. I think comments grow your reputation. but I might be wrong. I was replying to everyone and commenting a lot and it grew in one day.

Interesting and impressive, but that is definitely not the case for everyone. I have been active on Steemit for a couple months, and I am just now at 43. I am sure it depends on the topics of your posts, and the communities that you engage in, but I think my slow growth experience is closer to average.

It's also worth noting that @kpine's reputation was in the 40s when he first posted this, so it really does depend.

travelpine While I don't actually live there, one of the most breathtaking places I've visited lately was Lake Louise in Banff. Absolutely stunning views of mother nature, a serene lake at the bottom of a glacier with a cool hotel that reminds me of a hotel in the Swiss Alps that James Bond would find some two-faced villain in. Also, drink some Ice Wine. It's a local liqueur that is distilled from some sort of local berry that flash freezes in the winter and they collect the juice concentrate and create some crazy high-octane alcohol. Anyway, go Canada!!!

Hello kpine

Wellcome onboard! . No better way you could have chosen, congrats, great idea.

About your request :

I'm from Spain so come and visit us!
We are friendly people, maybe a bit noisy ( it depends on the area of Spain the noise level could vary :P ) but harmless. However we are proud of being spaniards and love our way of life.
We tend to respect those who show us respect , this last tip is important if you are a "tourist" or a "traveller", we are very used to both kinds of visitors.
We value authenticity and naturallity of people who first approaches to you looking at your eyes with a clean glance .
We are very diverse. There are lot of cultures inside the main one.We have areas called "Autonomías" with their own languages and habits.

As if you are a city explorer or a landscape traveller you will find what you are looking for and even more. We have plenty of beaches , mountains,rivers,isles,deserts and forests. We have warm days on the main part of the year ; taking into account the area in wich you are this can hardly vary.

Some useful links:
-general info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Spain
-official tourism portal (english): http://www.spain.info/es/
-my area official tourism portal : http://turismoextremadura.com/en

Some security tips:
Be aware when in public places on big cities, thieves may come up .Watch out during night walks on ancient parts of our big cities or you could be in strange or dangerous position .
Take into account anyother security advice to be followed on any big city around the world.Caution is a must.

If you like music ( maybe no mainstream one...) you must visit "The Rincón Pío Sound" in Don Benito (Spain)...and others I could add if you where interested .

Note: in my blog you can see some pics I shared of Spain.

Hope I gave you a non "pink" or super cool but a real perspective of Spain another country in this crazy world.

Best wishes

Bufff, I'm sry to have spammed the comments . My only intention was to help you and forgot the rest.
Don't worry, I'm not going to rush and made a "Come to Spain" post as I think it must be a well designed one and have not enough time to do that.
Hope my view can help you take your decision though.

Thank you again for helping the steemians ;)

Awesome! Great first post! I am not one month old yet, and I am just a newcomer, in fact I am only 1 week old. From what I have read in steemit, I am impressed by this smallish group of content creators sharing creativity with everyone! Also the fact that there are rewards make it even more awesome! I am so glad to have found out about steemit.

I'm not eligible for any part of this contest, but I wish you well wherever your travels take you, and hope everyone can show off the best of their current places of living! There's beauty in every place on earth we humans call home.

That is very cool, but I would definitely try not to limit myself on reputation score alone though. The initiative is cool and unique, but reputation between 25 and 40 seems a little bit low. I mean, there's basically people with reputation scores of 55 - 65 who still haven't been able to "get the most" out of Steemit yet so to speak.

Anyhow, that's just my suggestion. It's your idea and your show. I'm just here to enjoy the ride! :)

KPINE!

The day has come that I... can upvote YOU! In my head I've been writing a '50 days on Steemit' post, and I have been puzzling to think how to write the part where I want to thank you SO much for your support on my content creations here.

And now I have the chance to do this here, on your own post! Wh00h00! (Seriously, thanks. Maybe you already know, but if you don't, your support really means a LOT to me.)

Anyway! I will of course NOT participate in this contest since your support got me well above REP 50 in a short time, BUT, I will say this. You should definitely visit my hometown Rotterdam. It's a great and upcoming so-called 'second' city in the Netherlands with very grounded people living in it + I want to buy you a beer (or two) if you're ever in the neighbourhood.

And I mean that :-)

Thanks for supporting Steemit, and YAY for your decision to start participating and enjoying the friendly community! I hope you'll find your inspirational travel destination(s) soon!

don't do it... why visit the second city if you can visit the first: Amsterdam, where I live? ;) (just kidding @soyrosa, luv you)

@venus12 | Jan. 31, 2018, 2:10 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Haha, I live in Rotterdam too! But Holland, although a tiny country, has many nice places to visit. It is Huge! You will enjoy a good time here.

I would like to say thank you so much for going out of your way to help me out sending me steem!! Honestly that is so kind of you. Although to sign up for the website im trying to sign up for i need .1 of steem dollars. If you could send me that it would be amazing! I followed and upvoted this post for you, i really like your content. I made what I believe a really good post all about steemit and im trying to get it seen by people that is why i am trying to sign up for this website. The post that I am trying to get seen is this one : https://steemit.com/steemit/@tnelectronics/the-truth-about-steemit

Hi @kpine firstly, cool initiative, and congrats on your first post! Really like the idea that you are trying to help some of the more shy steemians, who have not posted much content yet, but... 2 things... 1.) I think perhaps you should not limit entries to just a score of 40 reputation. I think perhaps it is a shame that I (as a newbie) and I am sure some other good content creators who have received a good reputation quickly are not eligible (but hey that's just my opinion).

Secondly and more importantly I have another question... How with only 2 posts have you managed to build up $11,985.512 of steem power?!! I am very confused and interested to know how this is possible?

Many thanks, @dylan007.

@stylebeautylife | Jan. 30, 2018, 3:12 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Hey yeah I agree, I’m a newbie as well but I’m just over the reputation number. But hopefully @kpine will change this soon would be awesome!

@asouthwestlife | Jan. 30, 2018, 1:21 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

This is so cool, creative and kick-ass! I only just started my Steemit today, so I don't think I qualify. I'd still like to share my love for Flagstaff, AZ with you, though...so coming soon! Where do you live now?

@greenpotato | Jan. 30, 2018, 1:22 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Hey man, first of all a great initiative to help fellow steemiters like myself that are just getting started. The place i would recommend to you is my hometown Krusevac in Serbia . You should know that this is a reaaaaally small place compared to the size of Canada, so you will probably get a feeling of it as a kind of a little village. But man can you enjoy this little village! Serbia is famous for our caffe shops that are always full and energetic and positive people, are cousine and cultural meals like sarma is guaranteed like nothing you have ever tasted before. Fun fact we have a clock that is maybe 10 meters high in the centre of our town, and we locals like to make fun and compare it to the Big Ben of London ( even though the size is unhumanly bigger). There is the Tower of Car Lazar which dates back to 1300 which means it's 700 years old ! That is one of the main attractions of our little town. You have probably heard of Belgrade, which is currently the capital of Serbia, but i bet you didn't know that Krusevac was once that ( about 300 hundred years ago ) The party life here is also various if you are interested in that sort of thing. There are more interesting things about this place and you can feel free to contact me on my instagram account about anything you may want to know, regardless the award, here is the link to it: https://www.instagram.com/mr.fikaa/
Cheers man !

OMG! This is such an awesome idea! Thank you so much for your support, you really have changed my life, and allowed me to travel and see the world. I've met so many Steemanaians on this trip, and made so many amazing friendships. I couldn't have done it without your support. I'm currently in Thailand!

Although I'm not from Thailand, I would totally recommend you check it out. The people here are so kind and nice. The weather is amazing with gorgeous views, and if you do end up visiting, I met some AMAZING Steemanians out there I could set you up with.

I actually told my tour guide about Steemit yesterday, and he is currently getting his account approved. If he does get approved quickly, I'll have him enter your competition, as he will be a minnow, but his video skills are AMAZING! I think he has so much potential and good content to offer. I'm pretty sure you will be sold to go to Thailand after that. (Edit: I just realized he needs to be on for at least 1 month) :P.

INFORMING THE MASSES - A short list of some of the abuses against @Noganoo by Satanic whales on Steemit.

For those of you who are unaware @Noganoo was sexually abused when he was 5 years old. Bernie Sanders learned this from Fyrstikken whom Noganoo trusted and confided in and then was betrayed and slandered by Fyrstikken whom Noganoo brought to Steemit. Noganoo only requested that Fyrstikken send back the 10 Bitcoins he stole from SatoshiHorizon through his “altcoin investment fund.” Noganoo stood up against Bernie's flag abuse towards SeaBlue which caused the war that you are seeing today. Bernie swore to destroy Noganoo because Noganoo defended the helpless minnows on Steemit. Below are just a few of the terrible insults they have spoken against this Christian man. Please visit @Noganoo's blog and support and encourage him through these demonic attacks as his old friends have forsaken him. Not only do these people verbally attack Noganoo but they antagonize him until he responds in anger, then they sent the FBI to his house for "threatening." Noganoo has requested to all of the whales on steemit directly for them to speak to these 2 fraudsters and tell them to stop. Not a word was said in one year and now he is resorting to further action. The abuse will stop. If you have any information as to the identity or whereabouts of BernieSanders or Pfunk please contact abuse@steem.in. There is a substantial reward and you can remain anonymous. Noganoo is unable to file a restraining order against these 2 until he finds their identity. BernieSanders is a pedophile and should not be rewarded with upvotes on Steemit.

First of all let's go back to before this all started. Noganoo was investigating the fraud and theft of 10s of millions of dollars of rewards by Donkeypong, Gavvet, Sauravrungta, HanshotFirst, Kevinwong, The-Alien, JrCornel, Sweetsssj and Knozaki2015 with their organization called "SteemGuild" where they used the Steemit Co-founder Ned's account to vote for themselves instead of the "minnows" they claimed to be supporting. Go look at all of their current account values and you can see that over 1 year ago Noganoo was right! They paid themselves multi-millions for only a couple months of curating on Steemit. Something the rest of us do for free. You can see that these people and their friends are the only people who have ever attacked Noganoo. They are trying to cover up their theft. If you go back on the blockchain you can see Noganoo's accounts previously supported most of these authors with his thousand bot voters early on in the platforms launch. https://steemd.com/@sweet-banana?page=17 Then Noganoo called out The-Alien for his common use of the word "Motherfucker" in his fiction stories that were upvoted by their "Steemguild" to number one on trending every day to "raise money for the guild." Fact is they stole millions of dollars. This rebuke prevented Noganoo from ever getting an upvote from that guild which controlled over 30% of the voting power on Steemit at the time.

Here Bernie tries to twist the truth and calls him an "incestuous criminal." Bernie is trying to convince the unknowing public that Noganoo is a sex criminal.

Here is Pfunk 2 years ago violently attacking an article Noganoo wrote about Christianity, Pfunk at the time had no idea Noganoo wrote this! Pfunk is a hater of true Christians but aligns himself with the fake Christians so he can get more witness votes and doesn't lose support. Pfunk proceeded to individually message everyone that upvoted Noganoo and slander him and threaten them with loss of support if they continue to upvote his articles. Pfunk, Berniesanders and Ausbitbank costed Noganoo over 50,000 dollars in losses last year. Ausbitbank attacked Noganoo to impress his witness friends when Noganoo is the one who brought him to Steemit. He brought Noganoo’s reputation from 68 down to zero with stolen Steempower provided by JamesC

I felt you were a bot at one point. You have really helped a lot of new steemians grow.I may not have been a part of that list bit I have definitely seen your impact. It feels really good to finally get the opportunity to finally get to know a little but about you as a person. Its a pity I cant participate in this contest. Would have loved to woo you to my country . I'm glad we have people like you on this platform. Please keep posting and keep supporting the platform sir. You are highly appreciated .

Hey Kpine!!!

We are currently in Thailand and it is definitely one of the most amazing places I have ever been. There is something for everyone out here. I personally love the beaches in southern Thailand. They are all beautiful and the water is warm.

We went snorkeling in Koh Phi Phi yesterday and saw colorful fish, turtles, and sharks.

Have you ever been to Thailand?

Thank you so much for all your support. You have truly changed my life. You have helped me travel and share my passion with some many people.
Many thanks and love!

You could always come to California and I would show you all the awesome places there. Tahoe, San Fran, Yosemite.

I cannot say specifically where you should go. However, I don't think that you should go to a place that is way different from your current location. Heck, if you live in the US, just start by going to a different place in the US. If you want to get out of the country, I suggest either Canada or England. Once you are finished with those, I suggest you could move on to more exotic places, slowly moving yourself outwards so you don't feel uncomfortable.(BTW, my account is not one month old. this is merely a suggestion, and I am not entering, however i would like you to follow me if you are up for it. )

Great to see you post @kpine :) I have a higher rep but I figured I’d pop in and say hi . Sometimes I really feel like I’m struggling and other times I feel great. I’ve been here for six months and I’m trying real hard to get to a 60 rating. I suppose I’m on my way with passion and consistency. Thankyou for your vote last week I.T made me so happy. Il share some travel /living experience though if that’s alright ! I now live close to Miami after being in New York for my whole life and it’s the most incredible thing ever. I.T may be an acquired taste but I think it’s unbeatable. Best Latin food you’ll ever eat. The churrasco with chimmichurri is my favorite ! They have all sorts of cool stuff as well. Russian/Turkish bathhouse is amazing. I.T has all sorts of crystals and they pump water from the ocean into there stuff it’s so cool 😎 if your into dancing and Latin woman that also is a known hit in Miami. Anyway you have given so many people wealth here and I truly am envious. Maybe you’ll be posting more and I can get to know you some more. Judging by your post I.T seems as though your a cool dude lol. Do you really look like that character bit thing ? Anyway have an awesome day or night whoever you are. I’m going to continue pursuing my dreams here and create all sorts of content to help connect. Steemit has changed my life forever and I’m so happy to be here! You must be isanely happy 😊. Have a good one @kpine and until next time ! Take care .

Firstly, do you even need to be in one place? If not then I would recommend traveling to South East Asia, where it's cheap and unbelievably beautiful. From there travel around, find a place you love and stay there. When you're fed up.. just move on. It's as easy as it sounds. I'm living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If you make it here, i'd be happy to show you around.

I'm a traveling spoken word artist and although I don't qualify to enter... I had to recommend coming to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala which is where I've been for the past few months... It's a place that is beyond magic...

I can say safely without any doubt that if you ever chose to come here, there would be a whole host of very special people, experiences and opportunities waiting for you to arrive.

As a part of this journey, I get to visit new Indian cities very often. Visiting Jaipur is highly recommended. If you ever end up in Jaipur, don't forget to visit a place called Chokhi Dhani.

I just came back from Japan a month ago ( I go pretty much every year) and seriously its like one of the best places to go. There are things to do for every season - winter you have snowboarding/skiing, spring you have cherry blossom, summer you have the beaches in Okinawa and autumn so see the stunning autumn leaves.

Hope you find something cool after the competition ends!

Well, when my reputation grew from 25 to 42 just in eight days after joining Steemit, I never know there will be a day I'll need a lower reputation to climb into some good spot.

For the fun of it, I'll still write though not for the contest but just to put it out there.

Hi Kpine,

I know I probably don't qualify but I will still go ahead an share. If you have never taken a trip to Africa, then my country(Nairobi, Kenya) would be the perfect place to start.
My country prides itself in the fact that;

  1. It is the ONLY CITY IN THE WORLD that has a National Park right at the capital city. Within minutes, you can change your environment from the hustle and bustle of the city to the serene and tranquil nature surrounded with thousands of wild animals species..

    [IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmeZ7WKPYAJ3xRU3YyMmLLemYWZqFQtiugCcRF12Uv5uMp/zebs.jpg]

  2. Every Year we get to enjoy the 8th wonder of the world- The Wildebeest Migration right at our capital.

    [IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmZxpLEcDraKT39Yc91kUJceKNZDnR11do4LWnxbtrSbvo/crocs.jpg]

And if you would like to be a little extra and personal with our giraffes, we have a place called the ''giraffe manor'' that allows visitors to dine with them,through the windows though lol

Well, even if you don't make it here, I hope you and someone else out there has learnt a thing or two about Kenya. There's so much more I could share, a whole day wouldn't even cut it.

Happy New Year! #travelpine

Hey @kpine!

Welcome to content creation!

It's a great idea to support the unnoticed but keen accounts. May I suggest you push the max rep up to 45 or even 50?

The reason being is it's quite easy to reach 40 and still have gained minimal support. Therefore, most accounts under 40 will have been here less than a month.

If you take a look down the replies, I'm not sure how many accounts fall within the current criteria.

Just my thinking, welcome to the content creation party! 😁

Poor in infrastructure, but rich in natural and cultural heritage. A place of nature. Psychedelic honey, hospitality, mountains, one of the longest trekking routes are some of things that we are famous for. And also WEED ;)

#travelpine WHY NIGERIA IS THE BEST PLACE FOR YOU TO VISIT @kpine

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmNohjEPLRXf7hwCqZSgX4411iQiXdY88cbKPXNA9ZpQwY/lagos%20nigeria.jpg]

Nigeria is the most popular black nation in the world and a trip to this amazing destination is really worth it. The numerous tourist attractions spread across the country is incredible. Nigerians are lovely and hospitable people. The cultural and festivals will gladden you and will also form part of your travel experience.
[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQme97iFhhUSxrZjRtLsMvhRFbQyMjMBKWWHYo5kjALRgL8/one%20nigeria.jpg]

Travel to Nigeria and begin a journey of enchantment. Nigeria is the largest country in West Africa, comprising of 36 states and it has Abuja as its Fedral Capital Territory, it is slightly more than twice the size of California in the US. You may not be able to travel to all the fascinating tourist attractions in the country within a short period of time. But if you stick around I’m sure you will get there.

Nigeria has two differentiated seasons; the dry season and the raining season.

THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO NIGERIA

This depends mostly on what you want to achieve, every season has a lot of offers for you according to regions. Nigeria is always full of exciting activities no tourist would want to miss, such as;

The Osun Festival celebration:

This is held at the end of every rainy season, usually in August, at the Oshogbo Sacred Forest in honour of river goddess Oshun, an important Yoruba deity.

The Sharo Or Shadi Flogging Competition:

This is also a traditional rite of passage for a particular tribe in Nigeria called Jafun Fulani men, which is held during the dry season.

The New Yam Festival:

This celebration is seen in most places in the country during the raining season, with lots of masquerades who are thought to be reincarnated dead ancestors, with supernatural powers.

The Eyo Festival:

The Eyo festival is performed in Lagos Island, which is festival of masquerades. and lots more.................................

WHERE TO TRAVEL IN NIGERIA ? CITIES YOU SHOULD TRAVEL TO.

Lagos:

Landing in Lagos is just the beginning of the exciting adventure. The Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos is the busiest airport in Nigeria. Lagos is a cosmopolitan and the most popular city in Nigeria. It’s like a world class destination for a lot of things such as hotels, restaurants, music, architecture, culture etc. Lagos is the home of Bar Beach on Victoria Island, Lekki Beach which is a long stretch of sandy beach. Lagos is a place to be!

Abuja:

Abuja is a beautiful place and Nigeria's fastest growing capital city with modern significance. Abuja's extensive range of sights, the standard and contemporary architecture will feed your spirit. Nigeria's capital city, offers unlimited opportunities for rock climbers at the Gawa Hills, Gwagwa Hills, the Chukuku hills, the Agwai hills, and the famous Aso Rock which hold strong attractions for all lovers of nature.

Port Harcourt:

Portharcut is a notable place of attraction in Nigeria; it is the base for the country’s oil industry and exportation of different stuffs. Port Harcourt prides itself in its matchless productivity, environment and exciting events.

Akwa lbom:

It is an affluent tourism destination offering loads of cultural values, wildlife and attractions, striking scenery, and beaches such as Eket and Ibeno beaches. Akwa Ibom has something for everyone.

Bauchi:

Has the Yankari National Park and Games Reserve, including the Wikki Natural-Warm Spring.

Calabar, Cross Rivers State:

Calabar is a city saturated in arts, culture and tradition, although, it’s an urbane and vibrant city. The city offers most of the most beautiful attraction in Nigeria. Every year, Calabar hosts a festival – Calabar Carnival for locals and various visitors from different parts of the world. Other attraction centres in Cross Rivers State are Agbokim and Kwa Falls are found here, including The Tinapa Free Zone & Resort, Obudu cattle ranch and more

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmQfFwKLLo6EbUx7iPSFcvY5ZBbA8QBYZzRGY3gvvac5Gf/enugu%20.....jpg]

GETTING AROUND

Nigeria offers different types of transportation to help you get around, but the best and safest means of transportation for visitors is to hire a car to take them around. From the airports, you will find a number of cheap chauffeur-driven cars to take you around town.
If you are hiring a car or taxi, you should negotiate and agree on the transportation fares before hiring. Exploring with public transport is the funniest thing to do, there are various travel and transportation companies in Nigeria that organize transportation for visitors. you can contact any of these companies to plan something good for you. if you really want to have crazy fun, go with Nigerian public transport and see Nigeria in full.
Other transportation in Nigeria includes ferry, helicopter and rail services. The rail service is effectively working in some cities such as Lagos, Ibadan, Ogbomosho, Kaduna, Zaria, Aba, Enugu, Jos and others. The ferry service works effectively in cities where we have rivers and seas, such as Lagos, Port Harcourt, Bayelsa etc.

BANKS IN NIGERIA

Nigeria banking system is modern and extensive. There are many banks in Nigeria, most of them are connected to some International banks making it easy for International travellers to withdraw and save money in the local banks. A proof of identity such as driving license or International passport will be required to access your account in the bank.

ATMs

There are plenty ATMs in Nigeria, almost at every corner and in every bank branch in each city; you can withdraw money from them using your credit or debit card. You can load your credit card with money before travelling to Nigeria. However, keep an eye on the exchange rates as you plan your trip. You should inform your bank that you will be using your credit card outside United States and also check for transaction fee for international withdrawals.

Currency Exchange

You can change dollars to Naira at exchange shops at the airport or any of the local banks. Other Bureau de change offices are located in Ikeja.

SHOPPING IN NIGERIA

Shopping in Nigeria is fun; each city in Nigeria has major markets where people shop for different things including food items. Sometimes, the market sellers will follow you around, asking or begging you to come buy from them. At the markets, you will need to ask the price of anything you are buying. However, you can negotiate and offer to pay a lower price . If you are not happy with the price, smile and walk away. There is always a major shopping mall in most cities in Nigeria. The shopping malls are always grand and there, you will find familiar designer stores and well-known brands. Most things are already labelled with price and you do not need to barter or negotiate.
[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmWL1hR7ZzXFHTScg2WmZh7hkoHowpjSdkKmVXD7kWAAxa/nigeria%20independent%20celebration.jpg]

CONCLUSION :

Nigeria hospitality will leave you overwhelmed.
Nigerians value, cherish and adore strangers a lot. They are ready to welcome any traveler to their home anytime and any day. They have the same attitude of treating strangers either in the hotels in the cities or at local’s house.
You will be astounded by the Nigerians unique way of life
Nigeria is certainly different from every other African country. Despite the fact that Nigeria has 3 major ethnic groups and each ethnic group has its own unique language. Because of this difference in language, Nigeria official language is English, they still see themselves as one and love one another.

Well known for it's night life, Montreal is a great place to like whan you want to go out and meet new people or have fun. Montreal is a multicultural city with great opportunities for IT people all around the world. It's a great place for BI and game designers, like a Silicon Valley little sister. It's also a great strating point to discover Canada or the United States.

I had been getting positive vibes from your activity (not just the votes on my content) and how you handle things on the platform, now this seals the deal - we have ourselves a benevolent generous whale!

It is awesome to see you create a contest, by inviting people to help you plan your next trip - an absolutely genius idea and I really respect you limiting the entrants to those who will get the most value out of it, but also those that have proven they will come back.

Anyways you have a lot of comments so I wont take up anymore of your time, but I couldn't bare it if I didn't reach out and say - much love, respect and thanks for what you do here, we need more of your type of peoples :D

I haven't been on the platform long enough to be considered, but to answer your call for help...I think you may like traveling the country side of the Carolinas. While the cities are nice and diverse with many eateries and things to keep you entertained. I would suggest the quieter, more peaceful side as you can see small towns that normally get passed by. I would recommend a spring or early summer trip while flowers are in bloom and humidity is low.

I would love to invite you to my country Venezuela, which is one of the beauties of the Caribbean, its beautiful beaches and natural wealth would make it one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the world. But lamentabente at this time my beautiful country is immersed in a large mine, drug traffickers and corrupt have taken power and there is no democratic way to get them out, my people are eating from the garbage, an inflation that exceeds the logical levels. I would really love to tell you about the beauties of my country Venezuela and tell you why you should come, but unfortunately I can not.

Hey there!
First of all I don't write this for competition.
I am from Romania, a fish shaped country in Eastern Europe. Our Govermment is corrupted af, our Education Minister is an illiterate person and stealing is almost legal.
But despite all this, Romania is an amazing country if you wanna enjoy astonishing landscapes and wild nature. And if you ever wondered how is like to live without light and internet in the mountains, how is like to live like a farmer in the old way, Romania is the place to come. We also have ice hotels in the mountains, great food and drinks(omg!) and in some places like in the north, people are still wearing traditional costumes everyday and they are the best hosts you will ever meet. Also everything is very cheap!
So the best places to visit are the mountains, the castles and old cities like Sibiu, Brasov, Sighisoara and Iasi. Also you should visit Dacians old capital - Sarmizegetusa Regia.
If you like rock music, Romania hosts the greatest metal event in Eastern Europe: Rockstadt Extreme Fest.
Advice: don't get in a taxy without ordering one first, the drivers will ask you for a lot more money than necessary. Best thing: use an Uber.
Romania is really nice if you discover the beauty of it.

Hey welcome to steemit. Just like you I've been idle and I didn't post anything up until last sunday.

Currently I am in the middle island of the philippines which is cebu.
Why cebu? aside from whale shark, you can travel up to 5 neighboring islands which is great. different taste in culture and food. aside from that language and upbringings are quite different and I find it somehow amusing.

pic is 2 hours boat ride from Cebu and island called Negros. That forest is like the forest in the Twilight series. hehe

come and enjoy here I'll be your guide :)

Hey @kpine! Although Im not covered by the competition specs, Id still like to offer you a travelling idea for free ;)

Ever thought about moving to the Caribbean somewhere? Currently Im living on the island of Sint Martin, a beautiful island with wonderful people, even though we had a major hurricane here. All Dutch islands are easy to travel into as an American citizen (Im presuming you are American based on nothing actually haha)

All island here have nice options for yachting life, scuba life and kitesurfing life. Want something bigger?? Consider Panama. I was there last year and it really struck me as one of the next places Id might move to. So many options there! City life, jungle life, sea life and cheap as f&ck hahaha. Super friendly people as well!!

Good luck future hunting ;)

Hi @kpine, what a fantastic competition!

I'm currently sitting 2nd on the travelpine tag on the travel page. My post is about one of the spectacular hikes in Oregon, which should only be about an hour away from you. It's not a huge exciting around-the-world trip for you, but it's close enough to swing by for the weekend. I don't mention it in my post, but Portland is also an incredible place to visit... it has every possibly nationality of food available, and is overrun by super cool and entertaining hipsters. Come on by!

I suffer from anxiety and working a 9-5 is 10X more difficult for me because of all the stress weighs me down emotionally and physically.

Hey @kpine!

Right now its 58 degrees with clear skies and sun, I'm sitting at my desk with the windows open in my house. The breeze from the a dying "coldfront" is subtle, but carrying with it the salty air from the ocean less than 3 miles away. The blue skies with a small fluffy, cotton ball like clouds make the perfect view out my office window. Being a native Floridian, of course I also have a small heater by my feet since 58 degrees is still a tad chilly for me, nothing like Canada. Today, once my work day is over, I'll be headed to my favorite spot on the beach where I will back my car up to the waters edge, sit in the bed of my truck, and watch the sunset. Living on the west side of Florida has it perks.
https://mzoukasphotography.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/image2.jpg

From that spot, the sun sets between a pass. The island on the right is honeymoon island, the island on the left Caladesi Island, both rated number one beaches in America within the past few years. The white sugary sand feels so good between your toes. This weekend, if the waves arent too choppy, I'll take the kayaks out to Caladesi, or one of the nearby sandbar islands where I can hang out and soak up some sun without the noise of tourists.

https://mzoukasphotography.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/kayak-caladesi-island-maraki-photography.jpg
Even the pup loves it
https://mzoukasphotography.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/catahoula-puppy-beach-maraki-photography.jpg

If it is too choppy for the kayaks, I'll ride the ferry over to Caladesi Island where I'll hike (in shorts and T shirt since it will be in the low 70s :)) down one of the 6 mile long trails that run through the natural preserved part of the beach.
If I'm in the mood to people watch, I head over to the next beach (only 15 min away), Clearwater Beach, to walk down the board walk, shop, hang out at great bars and eat at delicious restaurants. I'll enjoy my day people watching, watching the skateboarders and long boards roll past me, the cruisers with their handlebar mustaches and santa clause like beards flowing in the wind, and the bikini bottoms walking by.

**This could be you.. ** visit anytime, enjoy the beautiful warm weather, the beautiful sugar sand beaches, the minimal amount of tourists and amazing restaurants. Sink your toes in the warm sun soaked sand, let the refreshing but not freezing water penetrate your pores, smell the ocean breeze and relax in good ole Tampa Bay Florida.

AND, if you feel like hanging out on Steemit while at the beach, just hop up to the pavilion at Honeymoon Island, enjoying the sounds of the waves kissing the shoreline while upvoting my page ;)

My second favorite spot to watch the sunset. At the edge of Dunedin Marina there is a Shack like structure with picnic benches. Sometimes I grab food to go and hang out here. I specifically live in Dunedin. I am so proud to say that I am born and raised in this little gem of a city. With its quaint Downtown, artsy vibes and microbreweries scattered everywhere, It's an evening you dont want to miss while visiting.

So talking about Ireland after seeing many amazing posts aboit Thailand seems boring, however the little green island i am from is amazing in the summer months. For a small place you may not think it but has a rich history (some dark) but also lots bright :) Ireland has some amazing scenery and the people are friendly , storytelling is i suppose at this stage an Irish staple, art is also very polular, the people are creative and optimistic. I recommend a visit in the summer months ( but dont just stay in Dublin) there are many beautiful views across the country just waiting to be discovered! :)

This is the city where I was raised most of my life. Porto in Portugal.

I heavily suggest it, it is a city founded pre roman era meaning before the year 700. Where in terms of architecture you will find more then 1000 years of history. From roman to medieval buildings and bridges. Portugal was considered the best tourist destination of 2018 and Porto the best in the European Union for a couple years in a row.

You will find amazing food for very cheap prices ate each corner and its the perfect place to get lost where every now and then you can find a new beauty.

It is also home to one of the biggest Erasmus communities (European student exchange), non stop nightlife and its full of culture and art. Very easy to travel trough nearby cities by train and public transportation and it has amazing weather after spring.

Hope you like it if you decide to go. Good luck on steemit!

GREAT Idea @kpine--you took the words right out of my fingers--I was going to jump in and post my first piece of blog content but this is an even better forum, allowing more time to edit my first video for the Steemit community.

Of course, I welcome you to the big New York City, which everyone deserves to visit a dozen times in their 20's and then sparingly in their 30s and on.

I'm originally from NYC, born out in Jamaica Queens. I think everyone knows about Manhattan, which we call "the city" if we're in other parts of New York City.

That's right--there are five main "hoods," each with dozens of smaller neighborhoods. We call them the five boroughs:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmU8dPGgbC69L8qmMUqm5hB7rdhNrzqt2qaPpUGJCYhGe6/5Boroughs.png]
Manhattan, Brooklyn (the fist two to visit), Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island, as ordered on the map above.

This is also the unofficial importance of each part of NYC and for the purposes of your trip, you can stick to the green and yellow regions.

It's not possible for me to outshine the hundreds of travel help on the internet. There's a lot of information out there but I can definitely help you go deeper in hobbies or pursuits you enjoy the most.

Plus, I can offer the following real talk tips:

  1. Rich people live in New York City, usually just a few streets away from people who are not very rich at all. So when it comes to buying things, you always have a choice between where people with lots of money shop and where people without lots of money shop. Teachers don't make a lot of money for the most part and are nice people to talk to.

  2. Wear comfortable shoes. We walk a lot here, especially when traffic lights and one way streets will double the time it takes to walk five blocks. If it's further than that, consider the subway or a taxi, depending on which is easier.

  3. You always have to pump your own gas. Ain't no full service. Plus that little stand that keeps the pump on hands free doesn't exist in the five boroughs.

  4. NYC folk enjoy tourists and will talk to you even if their face has a (I smell something) stank look.

Enjoy your travel plans!

You can find some lovely landscape in the South and West part of the country, from Shenzhen, it's easy to across the border into the world's most amazing city Hong Kong.

No matter you are into a overland trip. or city trip. you find your options.
Maybe the only problem could be the language barrier, but I can help you on that issue. No worries.

Its great to be part of this contest, i'm from western part of africa,Nigeria and there are alot of place you can visit but if you are the type that love nature then you come down to southern part of Nigeria,Ekiti-state in the western part of the state, ikogosi-ekiti to come see where the warm and cold spring meet to form a confluence, with each maintaining its thermal quality. The warm spring has a temperature of 70oc at the source and 37oc after meeting a cold spring. The meeting point of the warm and cold spring is a unique attraction to tourist.
The place is called IKOGOSI WARM SPRING

I am here to make a suggestion where to go, I'm from Philippines and if you have sometime, I know you have so many places that's been jots down by now. But I want you to pay a visit here in the Philippines. There will be so many beautiful scenery here not only the scenery but also the Filipino. 👪

hi @kpine, I am pretty new to Steemit and not even a month old, so I ain't eligible for the contest. I am from Nepal and I recommend you to visit Nepal if you have not.

Nepal is in South Asia, a small country in the lap of big Himalayan between great India and China. It is rich naturally and culturally. Some of the places I would recommend in Nepal are:
1. Pokhara
[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmbZtbL1zZ3GedY7rH7wftW2NLedSDTFTbZyNxRHmWRbn3/image.png]
The image is of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchre mountains as seen from Phewa lake of Pokhara valley. Its must go place if you anyone ever visits Nepal.

  1. Mustang
    [IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmNfWvgFyYADs2XuDzX2NEZ4BXkgc9iEpTLRz1Y5iM9VaH/image.png]
    Mustang is a place to go if you love trekking especially in the circuit of Annapurna Base Camp. I have been here last summer, believe me, Mustang is heaven on Earth

  2. Chitwan National Park
    [IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmbGXZWrUUsGYopbW2LPH77DLzfKMtiewAmCzuhUkZZZqN/image.png]
    It is home to many endangered species. Been here a couple of times, and Elephant safari is my favorite here.

  3. Everest Basecamp
    [IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmS8brYVRhZP1tRGN9GuxU6fXEWB8zGQyzVzJuuDfCc2Bb/image.png]
    Its where I dream to be at least once in my life but have not got an opportunity yet. I want to stare the world’s highest peak from its bottom.

and many more....

Tomorrowland!!!!!

There is nothing you can say that can top that and if you haven’t heard of it you lived under a rock.
But for those who don’t know, Tomorrowland isn’t a country nor is it a city.
but what is it then guys! It’s the greatest music festival in the world with the size of a small village. I last two weekends of three days in the summer.
They have more than 10 stages and they are always spectacular and it’s just crazy here is one of my pictures with my girl from last summer.

We went early so we could look at everything without the croud. this is the main stage

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmaPJfPo2Jw2BG2DirbuW7TtfMVRshyR52fHdTViJSNVNC/20170729_170534.jpg]

This is one of the "small" stages

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmVfxc8htQ3oZXFafMWWJ4QS8e7vD6xiF7qMaFZL5Ug1zJ/20170729_204829.jpg]

This festival happens every year in my small country Belgium in the city Antwerp.
I would recommend going to Tomorrowland but I hear you thinking “maybe it isn’t worth coming to Belgium for just a festival” ( I can assure it is). But for those in doubt, Belgium is in the center of western Europe and you can start in Antwerp (this is where I live), really beautiful with amazing variety of restaurants and great places .

My point is from here you can travel in whole western Europe with the train and visit other great cities in Europe like Amsterdam(Netherlands), Paris(France) or even Berlin(Germany). They are all just a train ride of a couple hours away and you can do this pretty cheap.
I’ll make a post next week about Tomorrowland with more pictures and in more detail. I've got some amazing pictures, some you wouldn' believe are true.

The main stage is more than 100meters long( I think 100 yards).

Come to China if you want a different experience! I've been here for four years teaching English and guitar and it's certainly different :P I only planned to come for a year and I'm still here! If you want to stay for a few months to a year you could easily get a teaching job and not just survive but make money and go home with more! Or if you just want a quick trip there's lots to see as it's huge :D

FANTASTIC first post here @kpine really reached an audience and sought out your fellow steemians.... they obviously loved what you had to offer, some nice, zesty spice which was only dormant, always active... I have stumbled upon your post by someone I follow's resteem. AM definitely going to be tuning into future work, like this, as I am thoroughly intrigued with what you have to offer here.

Much respect from @conradsuperb

I'm glad my good friend @steepseph told me about you, and that you have supported him so much. I like your style alot in supporting new content and sharing that as a whale. I think it probably inspires other whales and other non-whales to do the same. So essentially, thanks for the creativity, inspiration, and for sharing amongst the platform as I think that's the whole point of steemit. I will definitely have a good travel post for you. Glad to also see you posting.

Hey man. Just saw your post. Here's something from my visit to Auli, India last year. This place is not as frequently visited as other places in India hence less people around here. The locals are nice and love tourists coming over. You can do skiing, trekking and night camping further on from Auli. Plus if you visit during August-September then you can have access to flower valley(I haven't seen that yet so can't comment much).

This is a really great gesture. So many of the Steemit newcomers are really struggling for exposure. Getting that boost onto the 'hot' and 'trending' lists is essential to getting a following. It will be very interesting to see who wins.

By the way, I live in Brisbane, Australia. Amazing place to live. Great weather for 11 months of the year (January is a bit hot). There are also great beaches on the Gold Coast (1ookm south) and on the Sunshine Coast (100km north). There are several amazing islands nearby as well. Also you cannot miss the nature. Australia has some of the most fantastic and unique animals anywhere in the world. I would go on but I'm not in the contest. Good luck guys and gals.

Truely, if you want to visit some good places, you have to come to Nepal. Listed in country to visit by many travel magazines many times, this country is heaven. The culture, the people , the food, the vibe in here is so good that ever visitors visit next time for sure. This is the country of Mt. Everest and birth country of Lord Gautam Buddha. Along with 7 out of 10 highest mountain, we also have the mountains to trek, heights to bungee jumping, rivers to raft, unlimited thrill for life.
So go grab the back pack , buy some tickets and rush in .
You will be always welcomed as Good.

Normally I don't like all the "Competitions" but I actually like your idea.

  1. You give people a subject to write about: Lots of folks struggle with coming up with ideas, 'goal setting' with an incentive is pretty clever on your part.

  2. More importantly, you're not asking for anything for yourself in return other than some posts which, OK, will give you a holiday destination lowdown but will benefit Steemit as a whole far more by generating a wealth of content.

It doesn't matter that I'm not eligable for the competition I just wanted to say.

I would suggest you to make a trip through the countries of the Balkans. I know that most probably you have heard of this part of Europe from one of many wars that happened in this area during the last couple decades, but I would argue that the countries of the Balkans have much more to offer than the stories of war or crime, as it is portrayed in the western media.

My suggestion for you would be to start your trip in Albania by exploring the southern part of the country which offers spectacular scenery and beaches rivaling Greece and Croatia but you will be able to make that experience for the half of the price or less, while in the north you will be able to get a sense of the Albania's mysterious highlands.

You could continue your journey to Kosovo, Europe's newest country which although it’s not really a travelers destination, it offers incredible hiking opportunities and the chance to visit objects if cultural heritage.

Your journey than can continue to Macedonia where you will get the chance to explore UNESCO world heritage national parks, dramatic mountain ranges and the captivating Lake Ohrid this country hidden gorgeous destinations.

Montenegro would be the final part of your journey through the Balkan countries and you will be definitely seduced by the charm of the Montenegrin coast. With options like Ulcinj, which used to be famous pirate town, or the city of Budva which represents the tourist metropolis of Montenegro.

In each one of countries you will find restaurants with home-made food and fish specialties, cafés with beautiful terraces and excellent cocktails, hotels with pleasant staff and unforgettable views. With proper preparations you can make the whole tour in about a week and believe me it will be worth.

I live in San Francisco, I live for San Francisco

Last fall, I came to the United States of America for the first time in my life to further my studies. I still remember the day I arrived in San Francisco - it was a chilly, misty night, with the moon just above its zenith, disappearing and reappearing amidst the heavy fog that perpetually encompassed the Bay Area. Coming from a country where the climate is hot and humid all year long, the air in San Francisco felt surprisingly refreshing to me.

Over the next couple of months, I spent my time exploring the city of San Francisco. Now you might have heard rumors about San Francisco being inundated by homeless encampments, and although that's true to a certain extent, it still does not discount the city of its beauty. Take the homeless street performers, who busk at Union Square every now and then, for example - the quality of the music that they produce can be astonishingly good at times! To give you some context, here's a picture of my friend jamming on the guitar with a homeless street performer:

https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/26840951_1666926806686926_2242895352262601968_o.jpg?oh=8bed072b5dee05baa7449d2ea8f6e0e0&oe=5AE2EA09

If you do come to San Francisco, make sure you do the following:

1. Take the trolley car through the Financial District to Chinatown to Fisherman’s Wharf.

https://www.minervaquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/5515077693_4bd3f1492a_b.jpg

2. Visit the famous swing at Kirby Cove.

https://i2.wp.com/togethertraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/san-francisco-kirby-cove-2-swing-15.jpg?fit=1080%2C720

3. Walk down the Embarcadero just as the sun is setting. The point is not seeing an awesome sunset; the point is that as light becomes lesser and lesser it shines through the palm trees and on the road and creates a very eerie and relaxing feeling of the place. And, because it’s on the opposite end from the setting sun, instead of getting sharp light it’s the opposite- smooth and nice; hence the feeling.

https://www.minervaquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_8003-1024x768.jpg

4. Watch the sunrise at Twin Peaks - no matter how tired you are. Trust me - it's definitely worth it.

https://www.minervaquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/sunrisesf-1024x767.jpg

5. Skateboard the piers from the Embarcadero to Pier 39 and grab an avocado sushi roll looking over Alcatraz.

6. Walk to Lands End with a couple of friends after stopping by Japantown and eating some delicious food, then watch the sunset at Lands End, eat and drink and talk.

8. Don’t forget to visit the Holocaust Memorial just outside the Legion of Honor. It’s small but one of the most moving memorials to the Holocaust I’ve ever seen.

9. Of course, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It's kinda overrated though, so if you're just there for the Insta-worthy picture, I would suggest you go before 4-5 PM cause that's when the sun starts to set and your photo quality starts becoming really shit.

10. Go to Bi-Rite and get a nice cone with your favorite flavors and then go to Mission Dolores Park and kick it with your friends for the day.

This might be a little clichéd, but I have to end this piece with an Oscar Wilde quote:

>“It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears
is said to be seen in San Francisco.
It must be a delightful city and possess
all the attractions of the next world”

If I have one advice for anyone who wants to visit San Francisco, it is this:

"Remember to secure your heart when you come to San Francisco, for you might forget to bring it with you on the way back."

travelspine my name is iris cz and i am from Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the most underrated places on planet but If you rely on what you see or hear in the media about Nigeria, chances are you would miss out on an opportunity to experience what the “Giant of Africa” is really like. With a thriving nightlife, an abundance of natural landmarks, local and international restaurants, and a boisterous and globally renowned entertainment scene, there is never a dull moment.

1.You’re Never Far From a Getaway

Nature was good to Nigeria. By virtue of its geographic location, you will find that escaping from everyday life into “bliss” is one of the easiest things to do in the country. And this is practically the case in every region based on the country’s varied landscapes. From backyards to resorts in states such as Plateau, Cross Rivers, Lagos, and Ogun, the sights and sounds of nature in all of its manifestations will enchant you.

2.The Booming Music Scene

The music and entertainment scene in Nigeria is arguably one of the most exciting things about the country. The list of artists—past and present—who continue to boost the country’s global image with their Afrobeat, Highlife, and Afropop tunes is endless. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch some of them at the clubs. Otherwise, you’ll catch yourself churning out dance moves to them you didn’t know you otherwise had. Either way, you’ll get lucky.

All You Can Eat… and Then Some More

Nigeria has some of the healthiest foods and food combinations on the planet! In addition to this, you can find a variety of dishes to delight your taste buds, starting locally at the bukas (local eateries), and spanning a continental and intercontinental reach at some of the nicest hotels and restaurants you’ll ever visit. However, watch out for pepper if you can’t handle it.

History, Arts, and Tradition Are Second Nature

Diverse tribes and ethnic groups, ancient kingdoms, Nok terracotta, Benin iron and bronze castings, the Eyo Festival, soapstone figurines, wood carvings, artworks, the Argungu Fishing Festival, hyperrealistic paintings, the Calabar Carnival are only a quarter of the picture.

The Local Markets

Yet another touristic quest to undertake in Nigeria as you get more acquainted is going to the local markets. Immerse yourself in the vast markets such as the New Market in Aba, Idumota/Balogun Market in Lagos, and Onitsha Main Market, whether you’re looking to buy exquisite, locally made fabrics, groceries, clothing items, electronic gadgets, or craftworks, or are just in need of some good “haggling spar.” And unless you have an impeccable sense of direction, make sure you’re with a local who can navigate the markets well.

The People

Nigerians are witty, hilarious, generous, creative, great talkers, amazing sidekicks, and superb hosts. As a visitor, you might find it very difficult to complain about Nigerian hospitality. Plus, if you make a good Nigerian friend, that’s one thing you’ll never regret.

THANK YOU

Hello, and nice that you started your posting. :) For the starters, my reputation is 41, but I'm having a bit tough time of getting noticed, so I decided to write to you to encourage you to come and visit Croatia!

Croatia is a country where you can find all kinds of different natural settings. For the beginning, Croatia has a thousand islands (well, to be exact, 1244 listed islands, small islands, rocks and ridges), and one of them is heart shaped. That would be the island of Galešnjak:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmXdHd7GknDK8UD2NskuTndtqSK84PGyDKuuDhwr5FcVSL/Galesnjak-heart-shape.jpg]

Oh, there's also an island in a shape of a little fish, the island of saint Jeronim which is in Brijuni archipelago:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmVpFQ1dokp2tCKT85NS7yhaiMsDYqcAWJKADGkukzDiWp/brijuni.jpg]

Coves are also a quite often sight on Croatian seaside, and this is Mali Bok cove on the island of Cres:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmU3GHDsW1XinkTUFCPajW75AyUt58yqrD1aBrDCPMa9tu/7928539512_dbf15f2bff_b.jpg]

One of the seaside cities which you may heard of is Dubrovnik with its fascinating city walls which were transformed into the walls of King's Landing when they were filming the Game of Thrones series there:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmTrBCrYnNC7CrWeyrRT1D2Msxm2AKe8dd9KG2JqeiqKw1/00-lede-dubrovnik-croatia-travel-guide.jpg]

But, let's not get stuck on the seaside, because Croatia also has its mountains. Here's Northern Velebit national park:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmbmc5QiW1occq8PP7CE8qG9wXLm6817dF88DmqyRGZMqo/web_large_PP-Velebit-sli7.jpg]

And the national park of Risnjak (ris is a croatian wor for lynx, they have a small population here):

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmTpN4yTCDHtasg2oF3TvFD4Ev5BzLjAPKSFA9XPvTraCu/5.jpg]

One of the most beautiful natural sights in Croatia are the Plitvice lakes with its numerous waterfalls and lakes:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ3wh9dtsKQHKXXXNfEwmLMdu2BgK9bLEezGsHKmuQbsC/Naslovna2.jpg]

Well, the summer in Croatia can really be a pretty sight, but in the winter time the temperatures can drop as low as -20 degrees celsius. Snowfall can me really abundant, and what's a better sight than a medieval castle in white? Here's castle Trakošćan in Zagorje, the northern part of the country:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmVYXNQkk6ii8pqRBzrNgpxfybxHmURbdpVyc3PZ3EewRT/1.jpg]

And a medieval castle of my hometown, Varaždin:

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmNrCtbvnZx9DzjxHmLp6A3ejBhjfcnj12HcrFoDsPu6qs/miljenko_hegedic_stari_grad_home.jpg]

Except the natural wonders, Croatia also has a lot of good music festivals and street art festivals. I'll just mention the InMusic festival in Zagreb..

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmQCTiHXwSyGem575LJR2nE2BAU1b75o1hntJiFi9SpDP8/01.jpg]

..and Špancirfest in my hometown of Varaždin..

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmQPGtr2FJ2EfFxJhSRerPXBYCLeaoANtWZ4iMTbiTaeo3/chk_captcha.jpg]

..which occupies the whole town with jugglers, musicians, acrobats and dancers for the whole ten days.

Well, I hope that you got at least a small picture of Croatia's natural wonders, and would be glad that you come and see them on your own! :)

Woah kpine! I never thought I'd see you post, this is awesome! There's a lot of awesome places that I want to travel to this year and one of them is Thailand, Chang Mai! It's a very cheap trip, 2-3k would have you living luxury and there's tons of great fresh fruit and food there.

If I was traveling in the states I would say that traveling to see some national parks would be amazing, I think California is beautiful, I live in San Diego and it's also a wonderful place to visit if you enjoy hikes and beaches. If you visit SD I'll take you around a bit to see the beach and the vegan food spots!

That's a great idea to bring in a little price for some good ideas.
My advice for you is come to Europe in general make a trip through many different countries. All European countries have some nice spots and depending on where you go its not hard for you to see many in quite a short time.
On this way you will experience many different cultures and histories and for me that' what travelling is about!
Have fun on your up coming journey no matter where it will take you.

Thats awesome of you to do. Im ineligible but will say one of the best places i ever visited was the big island of Hawaii. I flew into Kona , stayed there for a few days then went down to Puna and Volcano, so much to see, the weather is beautiful, and everyone I met was awesome. Funny on my way there, I was supposed to have an 8 hour layover in BC, but then planes were late and I was sent through Atlanta instead...anywasy, I was checking out what to do around BC and it seemed like an interesting place that I would want to spend more then 8 hours at anyways, so Ill be out that way sometime this year.
I am from Buffalo, NY. I like my city, but I don't love it, and try to get out as much as possible, maybe ive just been here to long.
We have some great architecture, Niagara Falls, a pretty bustling local art scene, good music, great food, one of the most beautiful botanical garden. Its also really close to Toronto, which is a city I love to visit very frequently.

But I will definitely tell you that If you visit my hometown of Samana Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, you will fall in love with it. My town sits on a peninsula on the northeast part of D. Republic. There are plenty of things to see, especially the parts where the whales get together on mating season to zip lining from the top of the mountain.

Let it not be just you and you alone, what you give to others is what comes back to you in a greater way. @kpine, I'm meeting you for the very first time but from what I've seen so far and the comments from other steemians it shows that there's something different and special about you. Keep doing what you are doing and don't loose it. This is simply encouraging and thanks to all who made it obvious that one good turn deserves another.

Hey kpine
I just post an introduction of my hometown, Hangzhou, which located in the southeast coast of China. It's a beautiful city with various amazing landscape and delicious foods. I hope you can come and enjoy it.
This is my introductionHangzhou: A City You Don't Want to Leave, and I hope it can give you some inspirations to decide where to travel.

Well, I am more like thinking about, I need your help :) Well as traveling bloggers we could recommend you a beautiful Slovenia. This pocket country really is a pearl. A lot of nature, great people and most important some of the best food in the world. I will just give you some examples we were writting about (saddly with not much effect). Here I wrote this guide just for you. I know I didn't visit all places, so some trip advisor and web will be good for sure. I will visit Slovenia 100% and add a new places into my travel blog. Please fell free to read about it and enjoy.

Here is a post what to do in Slovenia i did for you. I hope you will choose this pocket country with many many pearls. Ouuu I also did map with interests and ofcourse links to my other posts, for more reading.

You shouldn't stay in one place. Pack up your stuff and start traveling. Go to a city, spend a week or two and move on. There are too many great cities to stay tied down if you can afford to move.

Of course, we have some really prime tips for the perfect location, but since we're younger than a month here, we'll have to keep them to ourselves. That's a pity! :D

lol I just sent my first post to introduce my profile which is about that.

The thing is it depends on what you looking for
So probably you miss sun because of your place you can easily go to Mexico especially Quintana Roo region where Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum are. I'm sure you will find a lot of fun there beautiful beaches, people night life and amazing food. If I were you I will pick Tulum, which is kinda less touristic if you compare other cities, if you go down to south you will find less tourist.

I was in Sri Lanka recently, it is a country that you can find everything, night life, surf in the south now and in the center of it they have an amazing cultural sites like especially one of a kind. Basically some researchers guess that Sri Lanka is the Garden of Eden. You can see Adam's footprint.

My lovely country Turkey, you can find whatever you want best food, best places, best people. ( My favorites are Colombian and Brazilan's actually)

So, Latin America is your another option.

Hey Kpine!!!

We are currently in Bangladesh cox's bazar and it is definitely amazing beach in the world.This is such an awesome idea! Thank you so much for your support, you really have changed my life, and allowed me to travel and see the world. I've met so many Steemanaians on this trip, and made so many amazing friendships.

Cox’s Bazar is a town on the southeast coast of Bangladesh. It’s known for its very long, sandy beachfront, stretching from Sea Beach in the north to Kolatoli Beach in the south. Aggameda Khyang monastery is home to bronze statues and centuries-old Buddhist manuscripts. South of town, the tropical rainforest of Himchari National Park has waterfalls and many birds. North, sea turtles breed on nearby Sonadia Island.

Greece has the most beautiful sun in the world, and its islands are fantastic. I would love to tell you an island that is more beautiful than the others, but I can not do this because they are all beautiful. So I advise you for your holidays to come to Greece.

I live in Turkey,this is a great place in the summer in the winter.I will now give you some advice.

A city beautiful in every season would be ? Cappadocia is ! It's like the world is there ? I don't know.Under the white snow, a mountain formed from lava spewing from 60 million years ago volcanic “fairy chimneys” I don't know how to describe the unique scenery.

Bolu-Abant Lake. Peaceful places to be seen in all four seasons not just winter. Abant lake is enveloped by tall pine trees Up, the recipe of its landscape was not so easy. You can do in the sport of skiing

Hiya! There are so many places in England I could recommend. I have so many pictures but i will only post a couple here. London is an onvious choice. If you are tired of the obvious touristic spots there is plenty more you can do. Like visit Little Venice and take a boat down the canal all the way to Camden market. Plenty to see there. And speaking of markets Portobello Market in Notting Hill ia not bad. But my fav and you must go there on a sat or sun is Shoreditch and brick lane market so much diversity and so much buzz, street artist, vintage everything and great street food[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmcq2TrFXdtJvzoMQsfji8VfwmdKkzFBFzwGNCwCUFFCZA/FB_IMG_1517527851459.jpg]

There is so much more I could write about this place. Any many other hidden gems in London. But there is plenty to explore in English country side as well.
One charming english town in Cotswalds worth visiting is Chippin Camden, not far from Shakespeare's Stratford apon Avon, but far less tourists.

I could go on but I will just finish with this.
Laat place we visited was Whistable a small town by the sea, only a stone throw away from London. They are famous for the vest oysters so be brave and try some. Delicious.[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmYYV6hwmMXvLMLSEuaJKguH667WofSgkZv1q3c7CkDsDg/FB_IMG_1517527600017.jpg]

In the first photo, you see a man feeds a starving child, with tears dropping down his cheek. Who knows, perhaps he has gone days without eating, not even a drop of water has he seen. But finally, this young small boy finds help from humanity, something he has never expected.

In the second photo, you see a quite number of children and their mothers on the field. I tell you, they waiting on water, and that's why they are carrying their gallons should in case they see water on the way.

In the third photo, we see a white-haired lady with tattoos on her body. This young and beautiful lady, as seen in the photo comes for charity work in Nigeria, and right at the moment, she is feeding a skinny, tiny, skeleton-like child with a something that looks like a packet of biscuit and a bottle of water. I guess the hungry girl has lost all hope, but somehow, she is lucky to receive succor from humanity, from a white lady that is able to extend love and care.

In the fourth photo, we see a group of children together. I wonder why they do not laugh, they do not smile. They have lost all hope; they are living in doubt. They sleep to suffer; they wake up to suffer. Everyday, they wait to hear from humanity, what it has for them. I do not forget their dirty and horrible faces, even their tattered clothes. Spiritually speaking, it's obvious these children are looking for someone who can offer them a chance to live, hope, support.
Those children above need just a small help from anybody, any place, any where, from someone like you. They will be happy to see you, your face, your color, your skin, your language. They will smile and laugh a million times if you can touch them and hold them in your arms. If you could show them some love, it's enough. I know and hope that in your country there is nothing like that. You want me to tell you about my country and why you should come. That is the reason. I tell you @kpine, I think this is the reason you should come to Nigeria. Helping Nigerian children has been my dream. I'm planning on that, and God will see me through. Now, it could be our dream together. I mean your dream and my dream. I'm not bragging, and if you doubt what I'm saying, review my blog, and have a feel for who I am, where I come from, and what I'm becoming.
I'm glad to announce that Nigeria is a blessed corrupt country, and their are people who can stand and keep standing until changes occur.

According to UNICEF, 90,000 children are expected to die in Nigeria over the next 12 months.

According to the United Nations children's agency, unless action is taken, 240 children will die everyday.
UNICEF warns 90,000 children could die of malnutrition in the coming year — amounting to almost 250 child deaths each day — unless the international community takes swift action to save the Children.
Tens of thousands of children are at risk of starving to death in Nigeria unless the world takes action.
Come to Nigeria. Some kids need your help. They cry everyday into your little ears, trying to attract your attention. They try to make themselves your night dreams, so that you could wake up someday and choose to say 'hello' to them. They run in their tattered clothes trying to grab you by the hand, and see if you could turn and look at them too, because they know that in humanity, love, care, etc. could be found.
@kpine, come and rock the needy, come and surprise them. The passion is there, and I can see it in you. A healthy person needs no physician, but an unhealthy longs for one. You reside in Victoria, BC, Canada, a very sumptuous environment. You need no other environment like yours, because going to an environment like yours cannot in any way surprise you. Why? Because your environment has what the other environment has, so, it's no new thing. But coming to a country unlike yours will teach you a lot, you will gain experience too, and popularity for your good deeds, just the way you are popular on Steemit.
Nigeria is the country!!

Awesome to see someone giving back to steem users. Although my city might not be the best to visit in the winter come summer time that changes everything. Detroit is changing in so many ways you have to see it to believe it. Many building being rehabbed and tons of amazing restaurants. Around the city is artwork and beautiful architecture. Every year we have one of the biggest edm music festivals located in the heart of the city overlooking the Detroit river with a view of Canada. If you are a sports fan or music lover we have that covered so come check out motown and experience the motor city.
p.s.
if you like to gamble there are 3 casinos all located downtown.

thanks for the opportunity

Even if you don't choose me as a winner I think you definitely go and see this city sometime!
Especially because I think it’s a city trip, beach vacation and nature adventure at the same time.
 Hope you will enjoy my article:

Hi @kpine! I do not qualify for your contest but I couldn't miss the opportunity to promote my country when you are asking so kindly the people to do so :D So, when you are done with all of the fancy, touristy and popular destinations come by to Bulgaria! I see you have a lot of comments to read so I will make this short:

  • four seasons
  • beautiful nature
  • great nightlife
  • delicious food (you haven't tried tomato so good, trust me :))
  • nice people especially to foreigners
  • life as cheap as SE Asian country
  • approximately one hour and a half from all European countries for about 30 euros roundtrip or less (:

If you don't want to relocate, only to travel you can check Bulgaria's most popular places for less than two weeks. And we have a lot of things worth seeing. I can make you an itinerary :) for free :P

Happy travels and tell us about them :)

While you're at it being outside of it, turn in your citizenship and seek refuge somewhere else. Your STEEM money will pay for that I'm sure. Good luck! =D

I am a poetry addict with a fierce book addiction. I had no idea how the Steemian community worked when I first began to post. It has been a little rough staying inspired to want to create here. I have a very small following. It would be nice to have some encouragement and a little help getting a start.

I live in Southern California
What makes this part of the U.S such a scenic destination is the climate. We have perfect weather all year long. Lately, ​we have been experiencing​g the most beautiful sunsets. Here is a couple of pictutes.

I'd love to talk with you from "Home", unless you're coming to see Niagara Falls. [about a half hour from where we are] Recorded a short ridiculous video for your enjoyment or displeasure] First photo is a clickable link to that video. Second photo is a link to a video that i think shows some creative chops. :)

@naturalguy | Feb. 3, 2018, 9:47 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

@kpine So, let me get this straight. @kpine actually has been here on Steemit for nearly two years? During that time @kpine literally has not written anything, not a single word? Until 15 days ago? Yet, @kpine has a Reputation ranking of 51? Wow, that is truly amazing. That just goes to show, that really money truly buys pretty much everything. So, virtually with @kpine exerting no effort (0)zero, nada, zilch, nil, has actually elevated @kpine to a such a level that is predominantly much higher than so many others on this site? Many of these members that are with out resources nor do they have the financial means to buy their way in/up. These same members day after day, week after week and month after month contribute to Steemit. By putting their hard efforts and valuable time in and with trial and error having their end results only achieve less of a reputation rank than @kpine. Far much less results in the level of popularity as well. Now, @kpine has decided to put minimal effort in to @kpine user presence? Well once again this seems to have been a Midas decision, in turn @kpine seems to have received a remarkable amount of accolades and substantial reward? All of this the results put forth from those many hopeful dream ridden members/users of this community. Those numerous followers are undeniable evidence of that fact. Otherwise, why else would they be following? The only thing that would be of interest for their choosing to follow @kpine on Steemit is the size of the wallet and potential SP that can be wheeled at any given moment should @kpine choose to do so. Like this monumental event transpiring now. I myself do not see a single momentary act of kindness the measure of "Greatness". So, please help me understand if or where my thoughts are astray of reality. I always welcome insight and really enjoy learning each and everyday during my brief experience with this Awesome Gift of Life. Nothing personal, as I do not know you personally. This is only this man's observation(s) and opinion/thoughts. Final thought, Many times it is better late than never at all.

This is so amazing and i can see you did this mainly to help people rather than being helped. Such selflessness. Thank you for coming out in the open. Haha. Even though my rep says 49, my Steem power says 25-40 haha.

I would love to recommend Seychelles. Oh my! I heard and seen pictures about the wonderful island there. You get to walk freely and enjoy the island without any fear of being hurt. I sincerely hope and pray to go there soon, would be nice for honeymoon because i planned on getting married soon. I would love you to google it and check it out. I haven't been there but i am excited about even talking about it and that is one of the few places i know that i can recommend for you.

I know contest, have fun on your extra long weekend project. That is a lot of entries.

Welcome to the posting side of life @kpine! What an amazing idea for contest! It will be fun to see where you decide to travel.

I would say to come visit the northwest corner of Washington, but I see from your post that you live in BC! So you already know how beautiful this region is. 😉

I live in Bellingham Washington, but I’m actually a dual citizen with United States and Canada. I have family all over BC from the greater Vancouver area, to Kamloops, to Vancouver Island. Visiting the island is one of my favorite places in the world. I love the beautiful beaches, the native art, the good food, and the kind people.

Best of luck on deciding your next travel destination! I’m sure you’ll be presented with plenty of incredible choices.

My reputation precludes me from taking part in your great idea so rather than promote my own country (the UK) as a neutral, I am going to endorse my top 3 (having travelled to over 40) - in no particular order - Iceland, New Zealand and Slovenia! They are all mind-blowing and have each left a lasting impression on me and you could do a lot worse than start your journey in one of them. Good luck and I look forward to reading about your experiences...

What a great idea but I cant join the contest because I am already a world traveler since over 2.5 years now. But I still can give you advice about countries and cities that I have already visited and really loved. We are curently in Vietnam but flying to Bali next week. After that we "moving" back into a camper in Japan (we did this in 2015) and loved it before we going to Costa Rica. I highly reccomend you doing this. Renting a camper ans exploring Japan. It is the easiest and cheapest way. I myself record sounds on all the places I visit and post them for free on my website but I am also going to write blog posts about our journey in Japan with the camper and maybe make some videos again. I hope you enjoy your travels!

You have really kept me going on steemit through harder times and gave me soo much!!!!!YOU ARE THE Best!

If you are still considering which places to go to, then perhaps London! It is one of the best city to offer anything that you want. I will personally show you all the cool spots to eat for brunch, lunch or dinner! There is obvs sightseeing stuff! Ohh there is soo much!!!! I am so glad you did your intro post!!! #travelpine

So a thing I didn't catch when I read the rules, and I read a few comments about it but still, it didn't occur to Me...
My account is/ was 20 days old I guess close but no cigar huh?
Was My blog post read or disregarded because of infancy?
If You are a fan of Poetry You should check it out
https://steemit.com/travelpine/@littlesparrow606/the-bug-factor
There is some pretty amazing Poetry in all the blog posts
I'm a youngster in Steemit and perhaps don't deserve any recognition yet but that does not take away from the quality of the posts and the Poetry there within.

Would have loved to participate, unfortunately (hmm, actually it is no bad thing on its own 🤣) I have a reputation of 49. I would have proposed my home country Austria. I live in Vienna and I think it absolutely rocks. Vienna has been repeatedly voted the most livable city: e.g. https://www.wien.info/en/lifestyle-scene/most-livable-city
So if you are ever in Vienna and would life to go for a coffee, just send me a message!

I regret not being able to participate, due to the fact that I have a high reputation. although my wallet is not so full.
I would like to be able to participate in a future contest, I live in Venezuela, the country that everyone is looking at at the moment due to the tough political and economic situation that we are facing, even so, we maintain our good spirit and we try to overcome this nightmare by organizing and sharing with steemit users.
You can take a look at this publication so they can see what I'm talking about.

WOW! sad i missed this competition by a week or so but WOW >.< what a complete wealth of information!!! i was scrolling through some of these comments and am SO inspired by the travel tidbits, recommendations, beautiful imagery and descriptions of so many amazing places that are homes to our community. my jew literally dropped. @kpine i feel like you could just go ahead and copy/paste these comments and make a "Steemit Places to Travel" book that surely beats out any Lonely Planet or run-of-the-mill travel guide Ive ever read. these are powerful, first hand recommendations and insights from locals. beautiful spots, moments, experiences thoughtfully curated and told first-hand. From the ice-wine drinking in the alps to the New Yam festival in Nigeria (who knew?!) - some of these entries/posts/comments have really made me get the travel bug and think of travel advice in a whole new way. thanks for bringing this on! i hope you plan to post other ones in the future - maybe do another one where the winner travels there with you or plays tour giude to their hometown/city >.< so amazing!:D

Turkey recognizes three sides and also for you to share your life with this great human volunteers are welcome to our country surrounded by seas.
The monastery of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus, Mount Nemrut, rafting you can do, you can take advantage of the thermal waters and thousands worth of the world's most beautiful countries in one region will not see that Turkey lost a lot.

I have followed you so as not to miss any of your posts

Apparently everyone knows you, even though you rarely post [I chose your 'intro' post to comment on purpose haha] and they all say the say 'quiet, cool guy' - I really wish I could be like this a bit... all over the place lately ahaha xD [well...and your profile pic being my favorite Southpark character makes perfect sense now that I think about it...]

It seems like you helped a lot of Steemians already, especially since you've been around for so long, and I admire that since I'm trying to do the same -even though still a minnow haha!I hope you'll continue that awesome Steem journey [and may we see Steem to DA moon...!!! Clearly, not now ahahaha]

Recently i spent 2 weeks by myself in Puerto Rico. It was the first time I had been out of the country. It truly change changed my life, I want to move there now; it was that fantastic.

I wrote about my entire experience. I hope that you will that take the time to enjoy that which I discovered by way of solo exploration.

@kpine, I found this article written by you 10 months ago by you and I find it very touching as a newbies then , how you stayed 20 moons before your had your first post on steemit. And also u shared in your post openly to everyone why each person should tell you something interesting about his/her own country and why you should pay visit to such a place. thanks for sharing this very long time ago. Knowledge learned. I also Resteemed it for others to read and digest so they can also learn as well.
