Welcome to Steemit :) You start with very interesting introduction post. Looking forward to hearing about your life journey. Upvoted, followed by @motherearthist

Thanks, @motherearthist. Followed you as well and will check out your posts. Glad you like my introduction post.

What an adventure! It's so interesting to read your story and to see how you managed to handle and combine such conflicting passions.

Thanks, Joanne. It's definitely been a fun journey.

Awesome intro, Kate! I didn't realize you were in Indonesia. I don't know if I would want to live overseas but I definitely need to do more traveling over that way!!

Thanks, Kecia. Yeah, the world is a big place and seeing the different parts is a real education. Hope to meet up in my neck of the woods one day.

Kate, as writers, we've been online friends for a good while now but there's a lot of your story I didn't know. So it was great reading this.

Like you, I'm very much looking forward to seeing where the Steemit ADVENTURE takes us. To the top of which mountain?

Gary

Thanks, Gary. Yes, we've been going down a parallel path. And this new adventure could very well be the best one of all!!

Oh, I'll second that!!

For sure.

Thanks for the share, nice story!

Thanks. I can see that sharing on Steemit is going to be a lot of fun.

What a fascinating journey you're already on, @katebenzin! I loved seeing you and your dogs through the years and reading about your travel and how you've managed to make it all work!

Thanks, Peggy. I've been very lucky to be able to have both of my main passions in my life. Good thing I listened to myself instead of other people because many friends and family told me I was crazy to take that job in Indonesia.

Welcome to Steemit @katebenzin!
I wish you much success and hope you find Steemit to be as rewarding and informative as I have. @bycoleman

Thanks, @bycoleman. I'm very excited about being here on Steemit. Look forward to making lots of new friends.

My guess is you are more a busy bee than a lazy bum and life has priorities.

Awesome intro, Kate! I excellent

Thanks for reading.

Hello teacher, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and I was a freelance American English Teacher in Vietnam for 5 years. Maybe I should try Indonesia or Japan or South Korea or Taiwan someday. I'm from Oregon and I'm near Seattle now. Yeah, BSOs are all around us. I sometimes join websites and I get distracted or I get busy and I may not post for a while like you. Oh, cool dogs. But I am mostly a cat person. Welcome to Steem.

Thanks, @joeyarnoldvn. Yeah, teaching English overseas is a great way to see the world. You can get immersed in the people and culture much more than if you were just traveling. When I first started teaching English here, I thought I'd do it for 2 years and then move to a different country. But I fell in love with Indonesia and stayed on.

Great and I love rice since I was eating it for 5 years in Vietnam. And I learned a lot of history and culture and stuff. But I kind of decided to go back to America at least for now. Good work in all you do.

Ok. Hands down the best introduceyourself blog I've read so far, and the longest😂. I enjoyed every second of it. You are very well travelled and adventurous. You've done so much in life already and don't seem to be slowing down.
Your ex husband rocks by the way. It's always good to know that not all divorced couples are bitter enemies.

Your two dogs that are up in doggy heaven are always travelling with you.

This is a wonderful post. I just can't say that enough.

Welcome to steemit - Have fun and enjoy the ride! Please feel free to follow my journey of weight loss farming and weak attempts at poetry :)

Hello Kate,

When I read about the noose tightening around your neck, I thought, What accurate and powerful imagery. (Being a writer, I always try to look out for great use of language to create powerful images.)

It's nice that your ex-husband was willing to take care of your dogs. Divorce doesn't have to ruin a relationship.

I'm sure the dog you rescued appreciates your efforts.
