Introduce Yourself - New Kid on the Block

in introduceyourself β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

Dear fellow Steem seekers πŸ™‹,

I attempted to write an introduceyourself post when I just joined Steemit, however I didn't exactly do it right. Being a noob and all, I started reading other people's intro post to learn what works and what doesn't.

Most of what I read was pretty funny because of how lame some of the posts were.So here's my attempt and hopefully if you think it's lame you'll still have a bit of a snicker. 😎


I am a 23-year-old South African living in Vietnam trying to work and travel at the same time. I live with my girlfriend Ashley in a rural part of central Vietnam called Ha Tinh.... and yes they do eat dog here. πŸ™Š

Things I like; pizza, burger, and coffee. Things Vietnamese people generally don't like. Thus leaving me in search of new likes and dislikes in a foreign country. This is easier said than done as most conversations are had using google translate - which leads to some interesting responses. πŸ˜†

I intend to use steemit as an outlet for story telling and blogging about our adventures and travels here in the wild wild east. So if you are interested in reading about food, travel and getting lost in Vietnam click on follow and you'll see more of me. 😊

Here's a photo from our latest trip to the Ninh Binh Province:

Also I am a soppy romantic so you'll sometimes see cute and gooey posts about my girlfriend and I.. so deal with it😝

I look forward to many fruitful interactions with Steemit users from all over the world! Drop me a comment and say wasssup!

Sup! I see you have been on steemit for some time now so thanks for the intro, it's been an intresting read. You get an upvote and maybe upvote some of my stuff too!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those big upvotes on my posts so you should try out @MinnowPowerUp where you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up through steemit! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and share my own experience in earning wupvotes for over $1 a day.

Hey @kromosoom!! I joined a while back, but have had a hectic past few months with uprooting my life and moving to a new continent and all... so now that I have settled and had some time I decided to give Steemit a good go.

I will read your post and try grasp how @MinnowPowerUp works over the next few days.

Tomorrow morning at 5am I leave to go explore the biggest cave in the world, it's right here in Vietnam, so as you can imagine there won't be any WiFi there πŸ˜ƒ

Please share any other advice you may have for a noob like myself... I appreciate your input! 😊

@pumpkinsandcats thanks so much for the reading material! Gonna check them out and take notes πŸ˜…

What's your general vibe of Steemit? Are you enjoying it? :)

Yeah its taken some getting used too, I was more instagram, FB type of person more than reddit or others.

But im enjoying it so far. Nice to see how the other people, nationalities live there lives, how we differ and how much we have in common.

I find it easier to search for topics I am interested in otherwise Its gets a bit overwhelming the amount of info.

So for example if I was interested in Architecture i'd use either the tags or the search option. Otherwise its a lot of noise everywere!

How are you finding it so far?

I have only really started to play with it this past week, but hoping to learn more about how it works and how to interact with people on a large scale!

Always looking for ways to explore the heads of fellow travelers and people of other cultures!

Where are you based? What nationality are you friend?
