Hello all stemian around the world! Please enjoy my introduction moment here 😊

Dear all steemians.

A new member here, just joined not long ago.
Okay, without any dilly dally chit chat, I’d like to introduce myself in this first post of mine. Hopefully you enjoy reading this.

My name is Ruslan. Just call me as it is ( I don’t mind if you all call me Alan too )
I am from Aceh, Indonesia. I live in a small beautiful village, the name is Tumpeun village. I have been living here for almost all of my life. After completing my engineering school, I tried to live outside far away from home once, but it was not long. I couldn’t make it away from home. My village is too beautiful to leave behind, I had acute homesick, so I came back here, lol.

(Photo 2. Entrance to my village. It's beautiful. Isn't it?)

My job? Well, I sell things. Since living in a small village and far from the city, I don’t depend much on my engineering certificate to find work. I decided to establish my own store (a small kiosk) and began to sell various things, mostly snacks and drinks. It’s not big store but more than enough to make a living in this small village (and also to make my already fat belly to get more fat, lol). Currently I employ one person to help me doing my daily tasks. This is better than working for only ourself, agree?

I have a busy but very happy live here. My hobbies are photography, culinary and also travelling. So, mostly my post on this steemit site would be based on those three themes. I love to post things about happiness.

I am not a professional photographer, but I love to take pictures using both my smartphone and my camera. I love experimenting with pictures, sometimes I take a journey to the hills, river, forest, beach and mountain around my village and took beautiful landscape photos from those places. If I were bored, I just walk along rice fields and of course I didn’t forget to take pictures, you guess it right!

I love food. Then that love feeling also makes me love cooking. I am very concerned about making delicious food and serving it to my beloved ones. Next time, I’ll also post about how to make certain food here. Just wait and follow me 

I have acute homesick but love traveling, ironic, isn’t it? Once in a while I took a trip to see the world outside of my village, I don’t want to be a primitive person, so traveling is one of my way to open my mind and see various things around the world.

Owh yeah, I forgot to mention that I also love watching movies! Who wouln't love it?

I heard about this steemit platform from my friends around the village. You know, it’s quite booming here since couple of months ago. They keep talking about this, wherever I sit among my friends, there were at least two of them talking about this site and keep busy looking at their smartphone and ignore me, ugh..ugh..enough!

I remember that back then I had a wish to have a personal blog and share about my story to other people, so I though why not trying this steemit? So, I decided to sign up and hopefully this steemit site would be my personal blog that I have wished for.

Thank you very much for reading this and see you all again in my future posts. 
And also thanks for @nafazul and @siren7 for ignoring me by keeping busy with their smartphone 
