I'm Sam from a beautiful but unknown country called Suriname

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Suriname is a small country on the northeastern coast of South America.

Despite its location, the official language of Suriname is actually Dutch! Although English is also widely spoken.

It’s defined by its tropical rainforest, Dutch colonial-era architecture and a melting-pot culture.Paramaribo is often called the Wooden City for its colonial architecture of wooden structures and unique designs.

Most people are descendants of African slaves and Indian or Indonesian servants brought over by the Dutch to work in agriculture. There are also Amerindians, the original inhabitants of Suriname and Chinese, mainly descendants of the earliest 19th-century contract workers.

Maroon and Indigenous tribes with well kept ancient traditions and habits have their settlements mainly in the interior of the country. The coastal area is the most populated part of the country and its capital Paramaribo offers an abundance of night life activities.

Nowhere in the world are synagogues and mosques so close to each other as in the Emperor Street in Paramaribo. Suriname has many religions and religious tolerance knows no limits.

Suriname’s rainforest is yet another attraction that the country has to offer. Rich in fauna and flora in a pristine rainforest, tours and tour operators are on the rise. Many tours take people to the interior of the country on overnight or day tours up rivers, waterfalls, African villages, fishing and canoeing.

Enough about my country. It's now time to introduce me to you. I'm Samuel, married and have 2 cute daughters of 5 and 13 years old. I have been in the online business for 5 years now.

I want to get to know others and learn how to be successful on Steemit. I was introduced to Steemit before on youtube, but did not understand much about it.

Well that was a short description of my country and me . I'm really happy that I found this unique platform .I'm looking forward to your advise on how to become a succesful Steemian .

Kind Regards ,

Welcome to the community @unclesam. It was good to learn about your country. I admit I never heard of it before!

To be successful, here are a few tips.

First off, just be active. Post articles, upvote stuff you like, follow people who you like and comment on other people's work. All activities can bring a level of reward, so it's best to just let rewards happen and otherwise use the platform how it feels right to for you.

When making posts, quality of the content (original, well written, etc.) matters, but I would suggest saving things you put a lot of time into for when you have more followers. If you stay active, your follower count will rise and your posts will begin to reach more people.

So many more things I could say but I'll leave you with one more tip. Read the whitepages (link found in the drop-down menu, upper right of screen). This has a lot of information on how the platform is set up and is very valuable for someone who is trying to go beyond a casual user.

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll enjoy!

Sure I will follow up what you said ...Thank you
