Hey everybody!! I'm new here and introducing myself

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

  I'm so excited about being here, I hope you will take some time to view this introduction post. I'm not used to writing very much in English since many years ago, but I'll talk about this later on.

My name is Steve Calzavara and I was born in Canada in 1958 (wow, that's a long time ago). I was only 13 when my parents decided to move back to Italy where they used to live before immigrating to Canada. I live in Italy since 1971, In a city called Castelfranco Veneto, about 50 minutes from Venice.

 I went to high school here in Italy and worked as an electrician in our city hospital for 35 years. Now I help my wife that owns a modal clothing store. 

Every few years we come to America to visit my brother who lives in Sarasota Florida. I love traveling so I have visited many places in the world.

I happened to see just by chance a youtube video that was talking about Steemit and this made me curious. I decided to start this journey in Steemit and took a look at many posts and really liked it. I don't usually blog or write very much on socials but I got a very good feeling on this platform.

I'm planning to post photos of places where I have been and also some other topics that I'm interested in, such as Italian cooking and recipes, and some ordinary life happenings.

Please excuse my errors and grammar. This is also one of the reasons that made me prefer Steemit.... so I have a chance to try to keep up my English. Please let me know if I make some terrible errors.

Well, thank you for your attention, I hope that my future blogs will interest you. I'd appreciate if you want to support me and invite you to follow me

Hi! Welcome to Steemit!!

Thank you

Hello elemiah! 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!

Welcome nice to have you here , maybe you are lucky to be joining when steem is at a really low price . When price is low less people are posting and you have a better chance to earn steem . I highly recommend you post a lot and keep on posting . Till you get to at least 15 Steem Power. Don’t give up . I don’t recommend you buy Steem Power but I do recommend you post often till you get to 15 Steem Power. If you can not post go ahead and make sure to vote at least 6 times when you wake up and 4 times when you are going to bed. Don’t forget to get all your friends to do the same! I repeat I would never tell someone to buy 15 steem but honestly for 95% of the people here will only get to 15 if the buy them ! It’s up to you Good Luck with the choice you make

Thanks for your suggestions. I have much to learn here and hearing people that are willing to help gives me the strength to do my best

Let me know if need any help.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you

hey, @elemiah. Welcome to Steemit. I think your grammar looks good enough and regardless the more you write, the more it will get better.

Sounds like what you intend to do on Steemit will fit right in. There are communities here that revolve around photography, cooking and even just what's going on in life. I hope you've had a chance to look around and find some people to get to know. It will be very helpful.

Having an Italian and Canadian background is pretty unique to my experience. Is it common for Italians to move to Canada?

oh, and I think we're all getting old to some extent. I'm not that far behind you, but sometimes it feels like I'm much older than I am. That can happen when I roll out of bed in the morning.

I wish you well here on Steemit, and hope you will find your journey here pleasant and rewarding. Finding folks to engage with will help things be that much more worthwhile.

Thank you for your comment, i'm already having fun here. Hope to hear from you again
