Greetings from Tokyo, Japan ๐ผ
After a long, unsuccessful journey searching for the right blogging platform that ACTUALLY gives some exposure and monetizes my hard-written posts, (for all those who once messed around with Wordpress and Google AdSense, I totally get it.) I have found my way to Steemit. It is my greatest pleasure to join you all.
I am a young professional in his late 20s, working at an IT firm in Japan for completely non-IT related affairs. So I plan to mostly write about non-IT things I am usually more interested in: Affordable travel tips, authentic food and lodgings, history, music, politics and social movements in East Asiaโthe โrealโ stuff.
As you can see, I intend to write about a broad range of topics, but in the context of my actual life events and discoveries. I believe that would come as more relevant and interesting. I am hoping to interact with intelligent and diverse readershipโinstead of just โlike-mindedโ peopleโwho not only gives the kudos points but broadens my perspectives via meaningful discussions.
Additionally, I would like to contribute to building distinctively native Asian voice amid dominantly English-speaking authors on this platform. But feel free to read my soon-to-come Hangul posts if you are versed in the Korean language.
Was that too heavy? Well then, here are a few bullet points for your takeaway!
Thatโs about it. Letโs get this started!
