Travelling to every country in the world - Introduce Yourself

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

It's important to set and achieve goals in life. I am Chief Niki and I'm going to travel to every country in the world, one by one. This is my first post on steemit and if you wanna know more about this ambitious goal and how I plan to do so you should definitely read along.

Visiting around 200 countries in over 6 continents (and I would go to Antarctica too if there's any chance) sounds pretty ridiculous. I understand you're probably doubting me right know. And to be honest only a few have ever told me this was a great idea. But why not try it? If you, by any chance, have heard of Graham Hughes, Drew Binsky or Gunnar Garfors, you know this whole dream can become reality.

"How you gonna do it?" is probably the most asked question I get. I usually don't have an exact answer to that. It's not something you can do in a few minutes, days or even weeks. But that's also the great part about it. I mean I don't regret a single minute I put into it, if it was sitting on an 10 hour bus journey, researching the cheapest flight or chilling on the beach after I missed my train. Okay, to be fair the last thing isn't that bad and it never happened to me, but you get the point. So until I have an exact plan (which probably will never happen because I'm way too spontaneous for planning far ahead) I'll just go from country to country without a certain route and see how everything turns out.

The whole idea sparked two years ago when I went with two friends on an Interrail journey through Europe. In these two weeks we visited five countries, which, if I think back now, wasn't really that special. But after I got home I realised what a small part of our world we actually saw and that there was so much more to explore. So over the last year I visited over 30 countries and I'm hoping to at least double that number in the next year. I am aware that the whole goal is not gonna get easier the more countries I've visited but I'm up for the challenge!

Hello chiefniki! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Danke dir für deine Unterstützung!

Gerne doch! Bin sehr gespannt was du über jedes Land berichten wirst.

I'm very excited about your project! Yes I believe that you can achieve it, everything is possible. You do not lose anything to try. I hope you visit my beautiful country Venezuela!

Thank you so much! I hope and if I do so I'll let you know (:
