Welcome to Steem Block Chain. One of the things I really enjoy about Steem Block Chain is I get to see the world through the eyes of real people and their backyards. I myself do not travel a lot, a lot of the travel blogs on Steem seem to be done by the Professional travel bloggers, the ones that work with the governments, and the corporations, those I tend to completely ignore.

The ones that show real yards, real people, real places in the everyday is what I enjoy. It is not hard to distinguish the difference between a Professional Travel Blogger, and one that is a person that is proud of their home town, country or city, or were those locations that they were really glad they got to travel to and enjoy and take pictures to share with people.

I look forward to the places and locales that you will be taking us through your photojournal.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome @bashadow! I have travelled quite a bit recently, but I still spend a fair amount of time in my small town in the British Columbia interior. BC is a fantastic place with lots to see and experience, and I will be writing about that too!

You seem to enjoy photography as well, and at first glance it appears that the landscape in your photos resemble BC a lot - and then I saw you mentioned Anchorage. Is that where you're from? I visited the city in 2010! What a majestic state!

I live down on the Kenai Peninsula, just outside of Soldotna. Right now we do not have very much snow left at all, and only had our first small snow, then a second large snow fall, (meaning the driveways were plowed).

I like it down here in the country side of Alaska. I have driven through BC a few times, I prefer to drive rather than fly, but I was not much into photography during those days, now I kind of wish I had a good camera back then during those drives. I still want to revisit Kulane Lake one of these days, and take a canoe or paddle boat out on it. (most likely a paddle boat, less chance of swamping it).

Well it sounds like we had more snow than you then. In fact, we just had a big dump yesterday. I went to the Kenai Peninsula too when I visited back then. It was magical. We also went to Deadhorse and drove back to Canada via the Top of the World Highway. Truly magnificent!

@journeyofanomad,

First, let me say I found your awesome post via the #excellentblogpost movement by @jamerussell... Conversely, I look forward to perhaps seeing you get some curation from the wonderful @arunava and his Post Promotion Thread here

Now... welcome to this big old Steem'verse... Your introduction post was wonderfully done... photos were beautiful! I would invite you to delve further in the ways of citations etcetera, but for now... Did I mention your photos were amazing?

To be financially independent does not necessarily mean driving around in a Maserati and spending all your money on overpriced stuff.

I chuckled when I read this... and you are so right! I welcome you, once again, and look forward to seeing where your journey takes you, my friend! !tip

Welcome to Steem. You should fit in well as many others have a similar philosophy. I'm not interested in being super wealthy, just in having enough to care for my family, with a few little luxuries. That's mainly from my job for now, but who knows what the future holds?

Have fun.

Welcome to the Steemit community @journeyofanomad!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

I would also like to ask if you would give your permission to use this post as an example of an excellent blog post, the amount of work that went into it speaks for itself, and will be noticed.

Eight suggestions to consider:

Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit,
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!
