Welcome to Steemit Mariam, i am from New Zealand and its nice to meet you.

I bet your friends in a little while will be joining Steemit after they see how well you are doing - post regularly & dont get discouraged :)

For introduction posts its always good to have a photo of you holding a piece of paper with your Steemit user name and today's date written on it. This way your account can be verified

If you need a hand with anything around here ask your new NZ friend - me 😀

peace
