Hi Steemers! I'm Sacha, I live in the amazing islands of the Bahamas and I am basically a mermaid!

Hey! Let me introduce myself!

My name is Sacha aka BahamasMermaid!

(Me, Pugs and Paris)

I am thrilled to finally launch my Steemit blog! I am a blogger after-all and I am absolutely fascinated with Steemit!

I heard about Steemit from a dear friend and I thought to myself....why not give it a chance! I already love sharing my photos and experiences on social media so this will be a piece of cake (I hope!) Lol!

So more about me....I am a Bahamian. My parents are both Russians who migrated to The Bahamas way before I was born. My family and I live on a beautiful cluster of islands in The Bahamas known as the Berry Islands.

(The Islands of The Bahamas)

My mother is a famous underwater photographer and for most of my life I was (and still am) her model (and muse so she says). I am obsessed with the water! In another life I am certain I would be a mermaid! (I actually got to be a mermaid a few times in my modeling career, more about that in another post!) I also love to travel and take pictures (I'm not as great as my mom, but I'm getting there!)

(A photo of me as a mermaid. This was taken by my mother in the beautiful waters of Staniel Cay in Exuma,Bahamas)

I look forward to sharing my under and above water experiences here!

Follow me and join me on this new journey here on Steemit!

In my first few posts here at Steemit I plan to share some my first underwater photo shoot experiences and my story on how I became so obsessed with underwater photography and modeling, so look out for my posts!

Welcome :) Definitely way too few underwater shots here on steemit and also not many videos about it on @dtube! Maybe you can help with that!
If you just keep posting photos of those sweet puppies, its also fine - Looks like my dog when it was young :)
Btw. - Would you be up to posting a little verification picture holding a steemit sign or sth like that?
Resteemed you via @welcoming, my page for resteeming promising newcomers! Congrats, you are the first mermaid there!
Greets, @theaustrianguy

Fake account. Thought something was fishy about this, pardon the pun, so I emailed the real Sacha Kalis, who replied saying "I am not signed up for this" [meaning Steemit].

Thank you, great discovery! Have you reported it to @steemcleaners already? If you provide them with the screenshots of the mail, you will get STEEM for that! :)

I have not - thanks for telling me about @steemcleaners - I wondered what the next step might be. And thanks for upvoting - was just doing what I thought needed to be done. :)

We have seen your report. Thank you for reporting.

Thanks, @logic!

Was just at the Bahamas and loved it.
Signed up for some timeshare and looking to return or sub rent the space!

Thank you for visiting! Timeshares are very popular here, great decision to sign up!

Welcome, looking forward to your posts. Very unique and great quality photo!

You live in a paradise.

I like the underwater shots also - very original.

Welcome to Steemit.

Thank you! I certainly do live in paradise!

pugs!!!!

Beautiful pictures! Great Intro! I loved the water so much when I was young my mother thought I'd grow gills :D Welcome to Steemit!

I think I've come across your Instagram page once. You've got some amazing underwater shots there! Post them here too, I'm sure they'll be appreciated.

welcome on steemit
All the best for you :)

Bahamas, what a wonderful country

Great pictures and cute puppies. Welcome to Steemit. Let us know if you have any questions about the platform and good luck here.

Thank you so much! If I have any questions I'll be sure to ask!

That looks like an awesome place to live. I'm following. I look forward to reading more interesting posts. Enjoy the community! :)

Thank you! Honestly living here can be a bit frustrating at times (Internet isn't so great, and electricity isn't the best) however I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world!

How many people live on the island you are on?

Hey, welcome to steemit, I also wanna be a mermaid haha :(
Check my recent post!

Thank you! Mermaids are the coolest! Lol!

welcome to steemit

Thank you!

That mermaid photo of you is nifty. Welcome to Steemit! Are things (more) expensive in the bahamas?

Thank you! My mother is an amazing photographer! Things are definitely expensive here! Some items are 3x the cost compared to the US! That's why many Bahamians including myself prefer to visit the US for our shopping!

Good God. Three times the price.

Welcome to this great community.
I hope you will have a huge success.

Thank you!

welcome to steemit bahamasgirl

enjoy and happy steemit !!

Thank you!

Welcome to Steemit! I don't know if you're deliberately not mentioning your mother's name, so I won't either, but if she's who I think she is, then I've been seeing her work online for years now and have always been impressed with the quality and creativity of her images - and I must compliment you as well for modeling in them! I've often wondered about the difficulties of shooting underwater like that; it must make any type of above-ground photography look like child's play. Anyway, have fun on Steemit and best of luck with your own photographic pursuits! :)

If your'e thinking Elena Kalis then you would be right! Thank you so much for your kind words, you are correct she is an amazing photographer and I absolutely love modeling for her lens! Shooting underwater is definitely no walk in the park however I am making strides in learning the skill especially with the help of the most amazing mentor (my mum!).

Yes, that's her. ;)

You're welcome! You've created some jaw-dropping art together over the years, and I have no doubt you'll succeed in the next phase of your career as well. Looking forward to your Steemit contributions!

Thank you so much!

Welcome to steemit Sacha!! I'm sure you'll amaze us with your wonderful underwater photography!! The world down there has always fascinated me so much, probably because i never had the chance to be there myself!!

Good luck on your journey!!

Thank you! It is an amazing world under the water! I love it!

Gorgeous Pictures, Sacha. I'm writing from the country side of the Emerald Isles, Ireland in the wee hours. I FINALLY posted my first Steemit post haphazardly - but it's out there now. I can only get better.

Your post was inspiring, beautiful - of course, and had yearn for the sunnier client.

I know you'll go on to inspire many people with your life of grace and abundance.

If intrigued, feel free to check out my post...it's a little funny and wacky as I was silly tired. A gooood night to you! Thanks, Jen

Sacha, that photo of yours underwater is too lovely for words! Your momma takes great shots that it’s too hard to tell if that’s exactly a mermaid (well, we all know you are though, haha!).

I’m also basically new here in Steemit. Welcome to us! Hoping to see more posts from the Bahamas! Cheers 😊

Awwnnn, the dogs are so cute and awesome.. I hope you do enjoy their company always

I can't stop checking your pictures underwater, they are simply amazing.. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your mermaid pictures here on steemit. You're highly welcome
