Welcome to the 13th week of the #swmchallenge where we travel around the globe and try to bring up to light the most unique and special places or events worth putting on the bucket list. Each week is filled with entries full of captivating scenary, stunning images and great stories, basically travel blogs worth checking out. So If you like to travel #swmchallenge is the place to go.
For those who still don't know about SteemitWorldMap
and 
that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. #swmchallenge is my attempt is to make it more popular and build a community around it.
Travel blogs of the week
#1 Snowy Austrian Spring [My Travel Blog]
takes us on a journey through Austria revealing it's beauty with his captivating snaps while sharing a interesting story about him and his best friend. Man I just can't get enough of your pictures, they are just so... Perfect.
#2 The Terrace At Machu Picchu In Peru
shows us the 15th-century Inca citadel situated on top of a mountain. All of you probably heard of and seen pictures of Machu Picchu but you never seen it from this angle and so up close and personal. Thanks for exposing this hidden gem and adding it to the map!
#3 Overnight adventure in Haunted Bhangarh, a Ghost Town in India
Believe it or not 
went out to explore a ghost town in India.
I came to Bhangarh from Jaipur a few hours before the sunset. To spice things up and increase the likelihood of a paranormal encounter, I also took some LSD on arrival. In light hours I examined the town with it's rows of ruined habitations, creepy temples and deep pools.
Great story man! Definitely a suggested read.
