CHAT
So I was scrolling my feed on Steemit and checked some contests to participate in and found a great community called CHAT (Culture, History, Art, and Travel). The community is for minded people who are supporting each other and create a good content. They have also a Discord channel where you can discuss about Steemit, about creating content and find some new people to chat with. CHAT Discord channel
HOMETOWN
Pärnu is the fourth-largest city in Estonia. Located in southwestern Estonia on the coast of Pärnu Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Livonia in the Baltic Sea. It is a popular summer holiday resort with many hotels, restaurants, and large beaches.
Pärnu Beach
The most popular tourist attractor in Pärnu is beautiful beach with parks. The famous sandy Pärnu beach, which feels like a town within a town in the summer, is just a 15-minute walk from the city centre. Tens of thousands of sun-worshippers and swimmers visit the beach every day in the summer. The beach is particularly well suited for families with children, as the water is shallow and warms up quickly in the sun, while the adjacent park offers protection from the cool northern winds. The beach has fun attractions for kids, swings, surfing equipment rental, mini golf, and lots of ice cream and other refreshments. Romantics will love the beach promenade any time of the year.

Architecture
It seems that around just about every corner in Pärnu there’s another building that can inspire sincere ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs.’ In addition to the abovementioned Rannahoone, the Rannahotell (beach hotel) stands out as another wonderful example of functionalism. Completed in 1937, it was designed by the same architect, Olev Siinmaa, who also had a hand in creating one of the most recognised symbols of the town - the neo-classicist Pärnu Mud Bath building which dates from 1926-27. Not far from here, is the early Jugendstil Ammende Villa, which was built in 1905 for a wealthy merchant. It’s now a hotel and restaurant, so you can easily sneak a peak at its fantastically restored interior or stroll around its well-tended garden.
