Me 2 - Web.jpg

Well, as the title states I’m very new to this incredible world of Crypto!!! Who knew you can make money through Blogs and Posts??? I guess all of you did and I was living under a rock, well, a very big one – Table Mountain to be precise.

Just another day in Cape Town with the BIG rock in the backdrop


Sooo, a bit more about myself. I’m from the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa!! I have two lovely children, my youngest one possibly possessed by some dark force!!! Just kidding, although I do wonder sometimes as I’m sure many a parent does… Anyway, we’re a pretty cool and down to earth family and I will be sharing various aspects of my life and interests with you all, which I personally, am very excited about. BTW, I still need to speak to my wife about this so let’s keep it on the low down for now, ok ;)

I was thinking that a great way to start would be to share some more information with you on Cape Town itself (since I feel Cape Town is a better known name I’ll be using Cape Town as reference to the Western Cape) and I have a great idea that I’m sure you will all love!!! This will become my official second post which I will be sharing with you shortly.

West Coast 2 - Web.jpg
A taste of what you can expect. This was a pic at Jacobsbaai (Jacobs Bay) along the West Coast outside Cape Town. A small fishing village littered with old fishing boats. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Lunch by the sea with another old fishing boat in the background. It was quite misty that day which added a different kind of beauty to the scenery.


Ok, so back to myself. I have various passions and interests with the number one love of my life being my family!!! In the days to come you will be seeing posts ranging from our little home kitchen parties (these can get a little rough at times ;) with some tips, advice, do’s and don’ts and so on) to noobish posts relating to crypto currencies (not that it’s a bad thing. Sometimes a fresh perspective can be great!!) to everything in between, whether it be great local cuisine, fossil hunting at the beach, simple home exercise routines, things to do in and around Cape Town, sharing other great posts, anything really that I feel could make a contribution and that I enjoy or feel needs sharing.

So, I hope to be making many new friends and acquaintances as well as receiving plenty of advice and comments from you all on this exciting new journey I’m about to embark on. Get ready, have fun and enjoy the ride in support of everyone in the Steemit community!!!

Hello thernau, as i am checking the web,steemit to be exact, wanted to look for friends around the world so I encountered @lizelle then yours.

Well i wish i can have friends in other parts of the world who knows one day i can come to cape town.
By the way i am jude, i am following you because you have a lot of interesting posts. I hope you follow me back too. I am from the island of Borneo.

Hi there @judejulius. Thank you for taking the time to put through such a detailed response and thanks for the follow. It is a bit of a learning curve however the more you look and learn from others the easier it becomes. One word of advise I could give is not mention at all about following. People can become very annoyed at that. Just keep trying and as for posts, do what your heart tells you to do. If you're good at something specific, share that. You know, that kind of thing. Any questions, please ask. I'd be happy to help where/when I can :)

Welcome to our community. This is a great intro and good to have more fellow South African's aboard.

Thanks!!! I'm looking forward to it!!!

Welcome dude! Fantastic introductory post! Thanks for the mention as well :)

Thanks man!!! Much appreciated!!!

Welcome to Steemit. Nice family you got there. I sent you a little gift. Enjoy your stay here and give your best to the community :)

Why thank you sir!!! You guys are already making me feel right at home!!!

Welcome to Steemit @therneau
Here are my tips how to get started.
Don't give up! At the begging is really hard, I know, even after the first week is really hard. Your work someday will be awarded!
Write what is interesting to you, not what is trendy!
Don't write more than 2-3 articles per day, try to write them short and interesting!

Thanks for the advise!!! Will definitely keep those tips in mind.

Loved your post, excellent piece of writing, wanna visit Cape Town again!

Baie dankie en hoop julle kan dit vroeër eerder as later maak :)

Why thank you very much @lizelle 😊
