New to Steemit

Hello my Steemians,

I am new to Steemit. I think this is a colossal thought, the coin as well as the internet based life viewpoint. This is my first post. I am new to this whole posting thing but wanted to share a little of my life on here. I trust that all individual Steemians like me will benefit, and thrive as the first users.

I started traveling when I was 16 years old. I have been to 97 cities in 30 countries on 5 continents, most of them since 2011.There is a famous Chinese saying that goes: “Walking 10,000 miles is more valuable than reading 10,000 books…” In fact, I really treasure bonding with those I travel and I want to travel with those I want to bond with. My range of travel is very wide. I have stayed in USD14,000 a night 7-star hotels in Dubai to $7 a night in hostels in Bolivia. I have gone from fancy cruise trips to tough backpacking trips on a self-imposed tight budget. All these were part of what I had planned out as I believe in having a wide range of experience in everything that I do. Only then was I able to tell myself that I have lived life to the fullest and want to continue doing so.

I’m not a writer, so why blog? It’s a commitment to myself that holds me accountable. It’s the home for my adventure stories. The ups, the downs and everything between. I’ll share photos, video and stories from the places I visit and the cultures I explore. I’ll post tip’s & tricks to help you travel better and/or cheaper and with luck inspire you to break out your passport and travel more often.


One really needs the bad times to appreciate the good ones. With the experience I have had so far, including the not-so-pleasant ones, I’ve put as part of my life goal to be able to reach triple digits the countries I will have visited before I emigrate to heaven.
