I really like seeing people from all over the world and their pictures. It is one of my favorite things about Steemit so far. With Facebook or Twitter we often live inside a bubble of friends, with Steemit you get to learn about the world without the filtered lens of the media.

I am also a new user and learning how steemit works. Follow me @byzantinehash and upvote my intro post if you like it.
