Dear quarantiners, we hope you're safe and healthy. The way we travel will undoubtedly change, and so will the tourism industry, but the Travel Feed team believes content has gained on value. Creators are gifted with the skills to use words, images and videos to produce virtual journeys, providing an escape for those sheltered around the world.

Therefore, presently is the best time to showcase your past travels via amazing articles that will inspire people to forget the pandemic for a while. To facilitate, you can find easy-to-use sharing tools on the left side of your posts. Use them to brighten the day of someone else.

TravelFeed Team has been busy since the independence announcement, but we keep on pushing forward to overcoming obstacles. As we deployed awesome new features, we explored the options to release our token, which is the epicenter of TravelFeed's roadmap. Since SMTs / HMTs seem like they got pushed further into the future, we've been in talks with other blockchains to evaluate the launch of a sophisticated and sustainable token.

Thank you for the continued support!

EasyAccountCreation With Facebook And Google

Past meet-ups taught us that the signup process is the hardest part of onboarding new users. Blockchain account creation involves permission keys that scare users away. To counter that, we're offering TravelFeed account creation by linking Facebook or Google accounts. It takes a second, and beginners don't even have to write down a new password. We're still aiding those who wish to publish their content to various blockchains via our new cross-posting tool. Users seeking to sign up for Hive or Steem can reach out, we'll help with the process.

The TravelFeed accounts created with Google or Facebook are fully functional and have all the following actions available: posting, commenting, smiling and bookmarking - As opposed to limited guest accounts.

Place 1A City Oasis; Adelaide Botanic Park and Gardens written by @minismallholding

The Botanic Park is an expanse of lawn encircled (or should that be entriangled?) By Plane Tree Drive, named for the plane trees which edge the park. It's a great opportunity for picnics and games which require plenty of space and the varied trees dotted throughout this arboretum offer shade from the summer sun.

Place 25 places to visit in the Norman countryside written by @haydae

Allowing some time to explore the Norman countryside is all about discovering the romantic ruins of an ancient abbey in the morning and a village with timber-framed houses in the afternoon. It is about medieval fortresses overlooking the River Seine and gracious Baroque castles lost in the country as much as it is about wandering on a pebble beach surrounded by limestone cliffs.

Place 3High at Himalaya: Hash me, I'm hiking written by @koenau

Hashish and marijuana are almost commonplace between Kathmandu and the border to India, with Hinduism playing a role. This religion is known to be quite strange with the sadhus and everything and it cultivates a relaxed approach to cannabis.
