Hi Monica and welcome to Steem! Someone with your upbeat personality and lust for life is sure to do well here in this community. I am new here, as well.

I have never been to South America but I have a dear friend in Brazil. I hope to travel there one day to visit with him.

I have upvoted your post and followed you so I can see your future postings. Feel free to follow me back.

In the meantime, good luck here on Steem and enjoy your journey!
