Hello friends!
I couldn't contain myself, I saw a challenge here and I wanted to participate.
I have seen it thanks to my friend @coolmidwestguy, when reading his post here I was able to discover that there is a challenge on the air on Hive, created by another friend @livinguktaiwan who has created a specific community called #ThreeChallenges.
This challenge is specifically about mentioning which are your three favorite posts that you have shared here on Hive throughout the time you have been on the platform, and if you want to know more about the rules you can read them in their post here.
It seems simple but it is not, especially if you have been publishing for a long time as you will have many posts, and it will not only be difficult to select only three but also to find them. You have to remember, and that's what I've been doing for a while, while I was doing my duties and then in a little free time I started looking at my entire profile until I found them.
So I already have my three favorite posts and now I will tell you why. Because as the creator of the challenge says, it is not about doing a very late promotion of old posts without further ado, it is about telling why we choose them, what our reasons are and what inspire us.
My Reasons
On the one hand, I have valued the reception that the post had among other users, if it had many votes and also many rewards, I think it is a good indicator, and it is also data that comforts us to see that it has reached many people and that it has liked.
So that has been a determining criterion, but not the only one. Although I want to take the opportunity to honestly comment that before the rewards were better, or my content is now less liked, I don't know, but I notice a difference despite now having a higher level of HP and reputation on the platform. Anyway.And of course, the most important factor is what these posts mean to me, when I published them, and especially about what, what place I should say, what memories they bring back to me and what beautiful photos I was able to share. So clearly the three selected posts have been posts from my old trips, some unforgettable moments, and among them some of my favorites in life and also here on Hive.
The truth is that the choice has not been easy, in addition to having to search through many posts in more than two years, because I would have chosen a few more without a doubt, but the rules are the rules, so here are my three favorite posts:
1) Teotihuacán, México
LINK: Teotihuacan: the ancient Aztec city of the pyramids (Mexico VII)
I'm starting off big, perhaps it is one of the posts that has received the most votes and, above all, the most rewards, I think the one with the most, and also the number of votes, comments, not only high but also the numbers seem to match each other.
This is one of my posts about my trip to Mexico, posted 5 months ago now, well, people who know me here know that I like to make series of posts with many chapters, and the trip to Mexico had a few, but it is clear that the most spectacular was the pyramids of Teotihuacán.
It was like being not only in the past but almost on another planet, and the photos prove it, right? Many hivers liked it. Thank you.
2) Chicago, USA
LINK: Chicago: memories, views and skylines (I)
Then comes the post of another series, of another trip that was not a trip, but a life experience, since I spent months in Chicago so my memories were many and almost all of them wonderful, just like the photos, because it is such photogenic and incredible city that all the photos in all the posts, I think 17 posts, were great. And a year ago this post was the first of the series, in which I present the city in which I was very happy, and by doing so, by sharing it and by choosing it, I now return to remember everything I experienced and imagine the most awesome city.
3) Golden Ring near Moscow, Russia

And we have another trip left, a different one without a doubt. Almost when I started on Hive, my 12th post, more than two years ago. Here the Mediterranean girl also spent a few months in Russia and instead of the sea, I was able to enjoy the snow and even a frozen river, all adorned by wonderful and beautiful buildings, I adore that architecture. And all in an almost fairy-tale setting, in a cultural area called the Golden Ring, which encompasses historic towns within a radius of about 200 kilometers from Moscow, towards the city of Volvograd. In that post, in addition to remembering a fantastic, strange and fun trip, also very very very cold, I was able to take some beautiful photos in an environment so different from mine. Always Russia with love.
That's all folks!
And with love, good memories and a smile again, I remember these beautiful moments again thanks to this challenge, thanks!🤩🙏
Who knows, maybe my new three favorite posts are yet to come...
