Bonjour Steemians ! 

This is my first post here and i'm glad i discovered this wonderful platform.

 I apologize if i make a lot of mistakes, mispellings and syntax error but french is my mothertongue and i do not speak english very well. But i'll do my best because i want to be part this disruptive and innovative  blockchain-based social-media platform.

So, i'm french, 20 years old and I study sports sciences at the university. I have been in the crypto space for more than 3 and half year now. Sadly as a student working part time to pay my rent, i couldn't get involve too much. But i did manage to buy and hold two bitcoin in 2013 that i sold during the spike of january 2014.

This money that i managed to make was for me the opportunity to make my dream come true,a trip to Japan.

So during the summer of 2014, just after graduating i went in a 3 week trip to japan all be myself. And that was a blast, everything was as good as i wanted it to be, i had the best time of my life and i met my girlfriend (who lived in France in the same city as me, what a coincidence right?).

So two years later, i'm still with my gilfriend and we are going to go back to Japan for one year starting from this summer 2017. But with my studies and my work, i haven't been able to follow all the evolutions and changes that happened to the space as much as i wanted to. 

I created a blog called "Un Couple Au Japon" litterally  A couple in Japan with my girlfriend and we plan to post as much stories, advice and informative things as possible, and even more post when we'll be in Japan next year.

But yesterday, while i was writing a post on medium to promote my blog and present myself, I saw the post of  @stellabelle on medium called " Social Media Is On Verge Of Being Disrupted By STEEMIT".

I found this post really interesting and the idea of Steemit awesome. As a crypto and blockchain-enthusiast and future bloger, i said to myself "Give it a try, it could be great to be part of this community and add my block to chain !".

So Here i am, happy to introduce myself in Steemit and amazed by the work you have done, Steemit seems to be going great and i'm sure that this platform has a bright future.

I hope my introduction wasn't too boring, i'll definitely be back to write some posts on Steemit. But i don't have much time, between the work, the studies and the little extra jobs that i do to save up money for my trip to japan.

But if you are interested in seeing some french news (in english ofc)about the blockchain space, some travel Japan posts and others thing that i might post i'll be happy to come back. 

And if you are not, well, at least i'm proud that i tried to be part of all this by introducing myself in Steemit.

Thank you for reading ! I, again, apologize for my english. I hope this didn't hurt your eyes too much. I left a cute picture that i took in japan at the end of the post, so maybe you will forgive me.

See you around ! Cheers !
