Hello fellow Steemians! My name is Soraya, and I am half Swiss and half Malaysian, and this is my #introduceyourself post. I am currently in Malaysia, and I am using it as a base to travel around Southeast Asia.
It is so great to be here – I have loved seeing how interactive, engaging, and supportive this community has been. I am all about community, and this is exactly why Steemit has appealed to me.
I grew up in a family of travellers, and we loved getting on a plane to fly off on a new adventure exploring this magnificent world of ours. You see, my family and I moved every few years due to the expatriate lifestyle…which means I have lived in 10 countries (13 cities) over the last 30 years (oops, did I say my age out loud!).
While sometimes moving around was challenging, I will always be forever grateful for a lifestyle filled with wonderful experiences that included exploring new cities, sampling new foods, making new friends across different cultures, and chasing the sunshine.
Some have asked me where I call home. Home is where my feet have graced the earth, wherever that may be. And of course where you’ll find my suitcase and my Hubby, who is my kick-ass travel companion (shoutout to @green8 who introduced me to this wonderful community).
The travel bug has never fully escaped from me, and I find myself still travelling quite a bit. This means that on Steemit, I will share my experiences and photos of travel, food, and adventure. Even now as I am writing this, I am on the beautiful Perhentian Island on the East Coast of Malaysia, with this as my view:
Aside from travelling, I also love food, the arts, binge-watching TV shows on Netflix, and swimming.
My fellow Steemians, I really believe that every day is the opportunity to learn and experience something new – that through experiences in travel and food, we can grow as individuals and expand our connections as a global community. Wonderful platforms such as Steemit are a great avenue to grow within ourselves and as a community.
I hope you will follow me on this adventure through travel, food & sunshine. I wish to enrich your days and inspire you to explore the beautiful world that surrounds us. And so I end my introduction with a few photos from some of my favorite adventures in 2016 to show you what I will be sharing:
Enjoying the sunset at La Jolla in San Diego, USA
The view over Yosemite National Park in California was incredible
My favourite beach off Banda Aceh is Pantai Lhoknga in Indonesia
Snorkelling off the island of Phuket in Thailand
One of my favourite resorts in Phuket, the Sri Panwa
The coolest tour I have done was exploring over 8 islands in Langkawi, Malaysia on a Jetski
Signing off! I hope you enjoyed my first post and will continue to follow along my journey on Steemit. Till next time, bye Steemians, wishing you an awesome week ahead!
