I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @thedarkhorse to find bloggers to promote.
This weeks two featured, undervalued bloggers follow...
selection 1 - @juanfb
@juanfb/caminante-2018-4-3-9-45-46
I am really excited about this photographer! He blogs about many subjects including cryptocurrencies and meditation - and quite well from what I can see (via the translator - my Spanish isn't that good!)
But these pictures are blowing me away. One picture that I almost featured instead of this one is of a small river that I could easily imagine including in one of my stories. Do give Juan a look.
selection 2 - @saffana
@saffana/crab-aceh-and-the-benefits-of-consuming-crabs-58c85440bbbe9
This was actually the first one I found this week and again, she totally excited me! Most of her posts are in Acehnese, so I was pleased to see this one in decent English. Her beautiful pictures totally add to the post.
This blogger does have a variety of posts telling us all about her life and her culture which I really do appreciate - one of the best things about Steemit, I think! Please check her out.
bonus selection - @zanoni
I can't say that Tom introduced me to Steemit (I honestly can't remember where I found the first mention of Steemit), but I found his Facebook group, Clean Steemit promoting original content very early in my journey. He definitely played a big role in my early days here on Steemit.
Here is one of his most recent posts.

What I really love about Tom's posts is that he takes us around Thailand as our own personal tour guide. He not only shows us all the tourist sites, but he also shares his food with us - especially when it's different to the fare many of us know in the more European-based parts of the world! (He would know - he's originally from Germany!)
Anyway, that's it for my selections this week - see you again next week for more Pay-it-Forward!!! (Maybe I'll get to share another person who has greatly influenced my time on Steemit...)
