Hello everyone! First steemit post from OverHorizons team :)

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello Steemit users!

We are glad to be here on this future platform. We are from Poland and we have travel blog there named Over Horizons. Initially named Cycle over Horizons the blog was to contain only information about our bicycle adventures and the name referred to the idea that cycling takes us beyond many horizons every day, every kilometer, every bend, every revolution of the crank , it takes us to new vistas, new people and new experiences.

Recently we decided to expand the content. It will no longer be limited only to cycling, but will also include other forms of traveling and all sorts of initiatives aimed at promoting good ideas and creative and brave thinking. In short we will try to reach horizons of our dreams.

We have already been on several cycling expeditions locally and abroad:

  • locally - the easternmost and southernmost(trip through Ukraine) points in Poland,
  • Finland - Erasmus studies,
  • China - few months work at English school,
  • Norway bike trip,
  • and other countries like Lithuania, Hungary.

Now we are advanced and prepared for bike trip over Australia and New Zealand. So if you are interested follow us we will post infos here at steemit platform also :)

We believe that it is pointless to carefully plan the future. During our adventures we only set the destination point, we leave the rest to luck and coincidence. We trust that the fewer plans we have got the better the experiences as the best things that have happened to us have always been unexpected. Most people think that life is about finding a good steady job and working until the age of 70 (then probably dying soon after…). It is a good life a peaceful life we do not deny that but for us life needs to more than the repetitive and mundane home-work-home-work routine. Life is not about trying to follow the mainstream it is about living the way we want it – freely.

Congratulations! Your introduction post has been selected for my special manual curation today!
It has received an upvote, and a resteem to help give you a boost. I'm following you now, too!
My curation focus is on fairly new Steemit users who don't speak English as a first or primary language, but who are writing and posting in English.
I search new posts in the #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags daily, and try to dedicate at least 50% of my article curation to new Steemit members who meet the above focus criteria. My goal is to discover and curate an average of 5 new Steemit users per day.
I follow each person I curate because it is very encouraging for a new member to see their following grow.
25% of my daily curation is dedicated to upvoting, resteeming and commenting on new articles posted by the Steemit users I am following. If you have written an article that you think is particularly good, you can direct message me a link to it in Steemit.chat (look at the bottom of the Steemit menu for the chat link.)
I also curate comments from all Steemit users. I look to reward comments and replies which stand out as having thoughtful insight, offer benefit to the community at large and reflect the unique personality of the commenter.
I aim to keep my voting strength between 90-100%, and give a 100% upvote whenever possible, voting 10-15 times per day.
I’m calling the @originalworks bot to verify this article for you. Every time you write an original article you should call the bot. It is a great bot service that boosts your article for free. @originalworks also hosts a weekly writing contest, so follow @originalworks if you are interested in practicing your writing skill, and possibly earning some extra Steem.
