That sounds more or less like the ones that I had. Especially the first ones. I'm glad you found a someone that seems to be a good shaman, there are many scammers out there these days, into it for the drug experience, not the lessons to be learned about oneself.

Excellent writing again! I think we can now take the next step on HIVE:

As for your next post, try posting in one of the travel communities. That will give you more exposure. Also, you might find some interesting articles for yourself to read and comment/upvote. To unlock the real Hive experience, interaction with other people on their posts is key, too.

Communities to check out:

Worldmappin (you can add a pin on your personal map for each post)

HIVE Ecuador

TravelFeed

As soon as you join them, you'll have the option to create a post within those communities from your "Create Post" page.

I know it's not about the money for you, but leaving a like/upvote on other peoples' posts benefits not only them, but you too, as you receive a little extra for doing so. Commenting on other peoples' posts will also bring more readers to your blog, as will posting in communities. And step by step, you'll get sucked more and more into the hiverse, and you'll love it ;-)

Hope to see you soon!
