I have accepted a mission: to explore strange new blogs, to seek out new posts and new minnows, to boldly go where no Steemian has gone before! yes, I'm a geek...

The Mission

I will be trawling through this very platform hunting out those hidden gems, the undiscovered countries of newly arrived promising authors, freshly spawned minnows if you like. I wish to put a spotlight on those I think are deserving of a much wider audience.

@laurenkavanagh is up first in today's picks. Her blog is full of the most wonderful photos of her travels to truly exotic places.

Her latest post is from the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand, where Leonardo DiCaprio's movie 'The Beach' was shot. Stunning scenery.

@motan caught my attention with his travel vlog featuring Rome.

There are some cracking photographs of this historic city and of the Vatican, post describing his recent trip there.

@tremendospercy takes my next slot. He is a joy to read and I was particularly taken with his Thunderbirds inspired post describing the formation of the minnow support project.

Very funny writing.

Hailing from India @tech-trends puts a great deal of effort into his posts, such as this one describing the drastic fall of Ethereum yesterday

https://steemit.com/cryptocurreny/@tech-trends/ethereum-dropped-to-10-cents-from-usd365-or-let-s-find-out-how

He is a new minnow to watch out for and I wish him all the success on his Steemit journey.

Today's final mention goes to @cryptologyx. His introduceyourself post had me in stitches.

He has been on the platform for just 4 days and I look forward to more great content from @cryptologyx and to watching him grow.

Special Mention

If you are on the lookout for more established Steemians you can do no better than visiting @cem and his regular Who to Follow Daily (WTF!). He first regales you with a humorous look at his day then presents you with a list of THE accounts to follow on Steemit.
