It's less than a year when I joined steemit. I was not active at first since I don't know anything about blogging and the likes. I did not have any talents or skills I can share. Well that's what I thought.

All I have are travels and experiences in visiting new places so my friend @devereei who introduced me to steemit assisted me in editing and creating an acceptable travel blog. And I thank him so much for the patience and the support.

I learned a lot due to the friends and strangers who then became my friends. I learned some dishes I did not know exists due to the recipes they posted. I was able to get a glimpse of the way of life and culture in different countries or areas. I was able to explore and enhance my artistic side by the art posts and the step by step these artists posts. I am inspired to learn and to try it again and again and when I do post it they appreciate it and I feel somehow better with my artworks.

I feel encouraged every time when I'm chosen by @steemph and @steemph.manila as one of the authors of the day out of all those quality posts, they noticed and chose my work.

Also thanks to my prior office mates who supported my early posts and walked me through discord. Thanks a bunch and you will always be family to me. :)

Also I am able to learn more about crypto currencies from techie people here and some gives advise and suggests to further guide your decisions.

I am glad to have met @surpassinggoole who never ceases to support us, and the others in one of the get together last march 17. It allowed me to mingle and to be less shy to strangers and that we are all friends here. We help out each other the best way we can.
