Hello people, I'm Steven and this is my introduction.

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago 

Hello people!

Let me tell you who I am and how I got here.
I was born in Italy, in a town near Rome where I still live. My father is originally from southern Italy, namely Sicily. My mother is American, from Boston.
The story of how they met is curious, but I'll keep it for another time!
I came to know about steemit through my brother who is pretty deep into investing in cryptocurrencies.
I've been studying the platform for a few days and I now decided to dive in. It looks like a wonderful place to be!

I am 25 years old, Business Administration student, blogger and freelancer.
I like reading, rollerblading, walking my dog ​​(his name's Bud), traveling with my beautiful girlfriend (we will soon be in Portugal for a week !!) and writing short poems. I'll try to find a way to translate them in English and share them with you even though I play a lot with rhymes and have no idea how a litteral translation would come out.

I find myself being an empathic person. Do not tolerate disrespectful, liar and opportunistic people.
I am not a very charismatic guy but I do my best to meet new people.

I will discuss topics psychology, nature, and science related. Will also tell my stories pretty often.
A few years ago I was an assidual marijuana smoker. Not one of those beat up depressed kids yet at one point I understood I was becoming lazy. And I've always been hyperactive. I so decided it was stupid and not even enjoyable. It was just an habit.
I still smoke sometimes, on special occasions. Cannabis and spiritual stuff will also be discussed on my blog.

I noticed that there are very few Italians here on steemit, so one of my goals is to spread the voice. I have a facebook page with about 13k followers. Not so much but I think it's a good starting point to educate people about the world's future social network and get them on here!

Here are a few pictures just to let you know who I am and how sexy I look 😅

Last summer I roadtripped to Croatia with my girlfriend Arianna and 2 other friends. Here we were chilling in Dubrovnik.

Rollerblading session. In the background you see Bud, my loyal spectator.

One of my favourites. I feel relaxed just thinking of how calm and relaxed I was there.

I am so excited to be here, open myself to the steemit community and say what I have to offer.
I hope you like it!

Let's be friends ✌✌

Great advice to anyone just starting out on steemit.... Welcome to the community @stevelou

Thank you very much!

Thanks for sharing your suggestions @krisii! Will definitely apply them.
See you around 😙

This. So much.

Hey Krisii, so you would recommend posting shorter articles rather than longer form. Is this what you have found to work best and if so can I ask why? Its just that others have given conflicting advice.

Welcome to Steemit!

Welcome to Steem @stevelou I have upvoted and sent you a tip

I'm impressed with your openness. I'm always so uncomfortable posting personal stuff online. Anyway, Croatia looks amazing. I am planing a trip there next summer...do you recommend it?

I'm an open book. It is kinda uncomfortable but then you hit that publish button and who cares!
I will invest a lot of time in this blog so I'd rather show people who I am 😊
Croatia is beautiful! Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. From there you can easily reach all the small islands near there. Food is also really good and not that expensive. Definitely a place to visit!

Pleased to meet you here hi Stevelou...

Thanks buddy!

Hi @stevelou good introduction !! Welcome come to steemit community !!

Followed you and follow me too.

see you here again !!

Welcome! It's nice to meet another globetrotter. I'm American & loved visiting Europe as well as Southeastern Asia. Amsterdam was one of my favorite stops, & I haven't hit Italy yet, but it's on my list. I'm curious-- which country that you've been to has really surprised in terms of their unique culture?

Hey! I've been to Amsterdam twice and will go back in october to visit a friend who moved there. I love it.
I've been to many places within Europe and the culture is more or less the same. United States for sure will be the answer to your question. At least for now! I'm planning a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam for next summer so my answer will definitely change then... 😄 What about you?

I'd love to go back to New Zealand. You know, that's where they filmed the "Lord of The Rings." It's ridiculously beautiful there. No snakes or spiders that can kill you anywhere on both islands! I just wrote a fun post about the craziest differences I've seen between America and other countries I've been to, which really amazed me. Check it out and tell me what you think @joylovestowrite. Maybe you have a country I should add to the list!

Welcome to Steemit, @stevelou! Glad you could join us!

I'm looking forward to check your content since I am a science and psychology enthusiast.

By the way, I don't know what are your plans but if you are visiting Portugal I would recommend for you to visit OPorto. In relation with Lisbon, its smaller but people tend to receive everyone with open arms, and tourists have much to see. I know this because I lived on both cities and I fell in love with OPorto, so if you have the opportunity to check it out, I would advise it strongly!

Keep it up and see you around!

Thanks for your warm welcome 😊
Unfortunately I won't visit OPorto although you're not the first person telling me it is beautiful. I'll be in Lisbon for 2 days, take a ride to Sintra and then go to Lagos for 4 more days. Me and my girlfriend both were amaized by how beautiful Benagil caves and other places in the south are.
It is unfortunate that we booked hotels already but maybe we can make a slight deviation and visit Oporto as well. Who knows! Thanks for your advice my friend, really appreciated!

You are very welcom! But hey! Your route seems great as well! When I was younger I visited Lagos and Sintra and I assure you that you will love these places!

Keep it up and see you around!

Hey! You made a great choice joining this awesome community. You’re going to have a great time here. Keep Steeming!

Thank you very much! 😄😄

Welcome to steemit community...

What a wonderfully written intro you got here.

Do read my below recipes to have a successful steemit experience.

RECIPES FOR SUCCESS

  • Be yourself, originality matters a lot. Write and submit quality content at least three times weekly.

  • You can get into arguments but without being disrespectful to people to avoid down votes

  • upvote and follow posts that interest you...as well as people who upvote and follow you. Reciprocity matters. However, be careful not to exceed 20 upvotes per day as doing that will begin to deplete ur steem power. This is important.

  • spend sometime to comment on other people's posts daily.

  • Give quality feedback to peoples comments.

Observe this rules and success will follow you. Wishing you best of luck in your steemit activities.

I'm @eurogee

Nice to meet you @eurogee and thank you very much for your advices. I will surely be myself and be genuine. I'm a huge advocate of this 😊😊

are you also a new member @enazwahsdarb

i like supporting minnows.. if so send ur intro link
nice post..keep it up

I have been here for just about 10 days now :) The thing is my introduction post holds the least value in terms of helping others.. I pretty much just talk about myself :P

I would much rather you read something that you can grow from :) Here is the link to my latest post that I posted today. If you find value in it, feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments :) And you can see the other posts. I try to teach something new every time! If you really feel like supporting my work, the most important thing I care about is to have more people see the value to be able to uplift their lives :) You can help achieve this by sharing the post (Resteem).

Here's the post: HOW ANYONE CAN BECOME RICH WITH AS LITTLE AS EVEN $1..

God bless :)

ok...will check out your blog later

Hey Annex, thank you!

Your girlfriend is beautiful. Is she single? I kid, I kid... Welcome to Steemit!

Welcome to Steemit! Have you always been this open?

Definitely not. Always been a passive guy on social media. I figured that's actually not who I am tho. I like to interact with people and I find Steemit the perfect platform to expose myself a little bit more. I want people to know who I am, not just read stuff from a complete stranger 😄

Welcome to steemit hope you enjoy it here!! Followed. Follow me back 😘

Nice intro buddy!
