Hey everyone!!!

Whew, that was a wild ride! Taking part in the #sndboxquest has been an awesome opportunity to grow our skills as content creators!

Tonight we even went to our local Dollar General store and recorded a video sharing our desires and visions for being a part of @sndbox! Love the stretching and new ideas that are already flowing in.

This is a recap post per @guyfawkes4-20's post:

Make a post compiling all the other three posts I mentioned above and use the tag #sndboxsummercamp but do not use the tag #sndboxquest. The tag #sndboxquest is only for the three tasks, quests I mentioned about; please don’t use both tags on your posts because that would only make our job harder.

We would really love to be a part of #sndbox, so we went all in on this first quest.

For those who don't know, @sndbox is a group of creators that support one another and encourage high quality content production! It's a group of people like you and me who join forces to be stronger together. This summer there is a #sndboxsummercamp and many Steemians will be training to hopefully be able to be a part of that. This helps hone our skills!!

For this first quest (there will be more before the Final quest; you must participate in at least one to participate in the final quest), we were asked to:

Make a post about your journey

You will have to make an in-depth post about your journey so far and experiences in one of the three domains, traveling, food or homesteading. It doesn’t have to cover only the time since you’re a Steemian, it can go way before joining this platform. Share with us why you’re involved in one of the three fields, what’s your motivation, how you got there, interesting experiences, tell us everything you think is worth a read.

This was a very fun post to write and was a great trip down memory lane up to the present!

Here is our post for this section! Wow! What a write-up to look back at the formation of our values and dreams!! <3

Make a DTube Video

You will also have to make a DTube video where you’re talking about why you want to be part of the @Sndbox, what you are going to do once you’re in, your goals and vision. To make this harder, to get you out of your comfort zone, you will have to record it in a crowded place. A few examples of places are traveling spots, restaurants, coffee shops or even the middle of a square, any location that is filled with people. This way, we ensure ourselves that you are willing to do some work and get out of your comfort zone to achieve your goals.

Here is our post for this section which we did tonight. It was a stretch, but a fun one at that!!

Analyze a post

As I said above, we want to ensure that we’re only picking the best so we want to see how you’re thinking and because of that you will have to make an in-depth analysis of someone’s post, tell us what you would change, what you would add, your overall opinion about it. We prepared you a few Steemians from Sndbox, write about a post made by one of them, make sure your post is objective. Travel: @Martibis, @World-Travel-Pro, @teachblogger, @Dontstopmenow; Food: @Gringalicious, @Howtostartablog, @thegalavantgirl; Homesteading: @bearone, @critic-on.

Here is our post for this section. We analyzed one of @bearone's posts (she's awesome!!).

All in all, I feel that this Quest even stretched and expanded our capabilities of creation. Since joining Steemit a couple months ago, I have felt my Creative Juices start flowing again in abundance and my ideas have skyrocketed! If this quest is a taste of what happens when you're a part of @sndbox, I can't wait to be a part of it!!

Ultimately, we're on Steemit to share what we're up to on the land. This is our main focus because we wholeheartedly believe in our efforts to create a Center for Earth Connection where people can get back to their roots and rewild. In a world with so much disconnection and utter disregard for the earth, we want to be voices for remembering our identities as earthlings before consumers or humans who follow any modern loyalties. We hope that through joining @sndbox, our powers of creation and networking can be honed and the voice of the earth with which we speak can be amplified!! We appreciate ALL OF THE LOVE and feedback we've received lately on Steemit.

Thank you to each and every one of you!!!

Please let us know if our voices can be more effective in any ways that you can see. We're doing our best and are always open to kindhearted feedback. Blessings!! <3, @mountainjewel

Thank you especially to @guyfawkes4-20 & @anomadsoul for creating and designing this quest! Much love.

And, as a note, if you'd like to try your hand at a Quest to get into the #sndboxsummercamp, there are many more quests to take part in! Good luck :D!
