Hello fellow Steemians!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

This is Kojak242 a roaming soul from the United States. My motif is mostly travel related stories with added tips and tricks. Simple stuff, bicycle, canoe, boat, hiking and car trips. Perhaps trips and adventures you've always wanted to do but lacked the time or motivation to bring to fruition. Perhaps you're looking for tips on biking in Illinois or going to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. Maybe you're going to Niagara Falls and want know where to park. Hopefully you'll find some useful and fun information. At least you'll meet a kindred spirit and that's worth a lot!

My first comment is if there's something you've always wanted to do, then do it! We here in the U.S. are way too hung up on working and making the government and our bosses rich while we work for peanuts and wait for our vacation so we can run off and spend our hard earned money making more people rich.

Stop it! If you take 5 minutes to think about it, you'll discover that this system is designed to keep you in line and obeying until you get too old to do anything about it and just want to sit in a recliner and wait for a pension check. I'm not criticizing you if that's what you seriously desire but me, not happening, I'm going to die with the pedal to the metal and completely worn out. No arm chair quarterbacking here.

So if you're interested come along, suggest something interesting or share your adventures. I'd love to hear about your journeys and I'm sure others would also.

Here's a few of my previous adventures, just photos, wasn't planning on writing narratives...

Nice pictures and even better mentality :) It's really refreshing to have some positivity for once on the internet.

Thanks @hotsauceislethal, lots of haters on the net for sure. Not sure why either but I believe we are what we think and say so I'm doing my part to love the earth and share the beauty.

Thank you for the follow @kojak242, replies are good, you do earn curator rewards from commenting on others posts. The upvote is similar to a like on Facebook but on Steemit the like or upvote pays the author. The upvotes payments does not come out of your account but from funds that Steemit has set aside for that purpose. I hope this helps clarify things up abit.
