Introduction

Welcome to the edition of #traveldigest! Enjoy!
As always all posts featured here will be put on our Editors Choice Map.

Hi. It's @choogirl here. I hope everyone is having a great Friday/Saturday. It's another perfect pool day here in Panama. It's still the dry season meaning the sun is shining, it's hot, and the sooner I write this the sooner I can go work on my tan!

#1 Kiev, Ukraine

We start off today in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. @travelshots explores this underrated city highlighting the various attractions around the old town and along the river. There are numerous well kept religious buildings worth visiting, including the beautiful St. Michael's Monastery and the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, which is one of the city's highlights. If you imagine Kiev as a collection of boring, grey, prefabricated concrete blocks left over from the Soviet era, then it's time to re-evaluate.

#2 Cinque Terre, Italy

@mwi then takes us to Cinque Terre, a series of five picture-postcard coastal villages along the Ligurian coastline in Italy. The area has been UNESCO World Heritage sited since 1997 and swarms of tourists flock here daily. To avoid the crowds, @mwi begins exploring early on foot. As she follows the trail through each village, she makes her way up to the top of the mountain through the lush green terraces. Although not an easy hike, her persistence is finally rewarded with panoramic views of Cinque Terre and the beautiful Mediterranean coastline.

#3 Lombok, Indonesia

Finally, @marcelgoo reminisces about his Southeast Asian home on Lombok Island, Indonesia. Unsurprisingly, what he loves most about this place is the beaches. As he goes through his top nine choices, we learn which beaches are the most popular and crowded, and which are more secluded and private—including a few on nearby uninhabited islands. Regardless of how many other people are there on the day, if clear turquoise water, white sand and lush tropical vegetation are your thing, then Lombok has a lot to offer.
