Hello Steemit Community!

Hello, SteemIt community! I'm Lauren. I live in Cleveland, OH. I have been a vegetarian most of my life and became a vegan a few years back. I'm always on the look out for a new vegan recipe and love to cook.
I'm currently learning Japanese in preparation for a trip to Tokyo next summer. I couldn't be more excited! If you have any tips for making the most out of my trip I'd love to hear them.

My husband introduced me to cryptocurrencies back in 2013 - we were on vacation in Florida and he paid for our lunch using
a bitcoin wallet on his smartphone - and then again to buy some coffee later in the day - I was hooked from that point on! I believe this is the way of the world from now on and feel lucky to still feel like I'm ahead of the curve - I'm sure you guys all feel the same way.

Look forward to meeting and chatting with you!

Welcome to steemit :D

Hello @veganmommy ! Welcome to SteemIt.

Hello, welcome to Steemit!

Hello, thank you!

Welcome Lauren! Any plans to upload some vegan recipes? Also good luck being vegan in Japan, it's not easy... Here's a post I wrote about the Deer Park in Nara that you might be interested in https://steemit.com/travel/@captaincanary/nara-japan-home-to-1200-wild-deer

As for Tokyo it's not my favourite place in Japan but I'd recommend the Robot Restaurant if you're up for seeing something totally crazy and bizarre and the Skytree is cool too

Yeah, the vegan thing is a worry for me everywhere I travel, but I usually find some good gems. Thanks for the deer park tip it looks so cute. I could definitely see myself spend a whole day just trying to feed the deer cookies!

Thank you!

Welcome in this fantastic community! I hope you will enjoy it!

Thanks, I'm definitely enjoying it.

welcome to the great community, beautiful pictures you've got

Thanks sweet of you to say!

Welcome to Steemit Lauren! You will love it here.

Thanks!

That is so cool I would love to be able to buy a coffee with bitcoin. But in new zealand its hard to get hold of.

Yeah, finding places that accept bitcoin is tough, too. However, when you do they always talk about how amazing it is, and that they're surprised more places don't. So do you mine bitcoin? That's awesome.

Welcome to the steemit community, we needs people like yourself bringing daily dose of Vegas lifestyle 🙌🏼💖 Followed!

Thanks! I'm not actually from Los Vegas, I'm Vegan. But Vegas is definitely one of my favorite places to go. People are surprised to hear that since I don't gamble. It just that there are so many other things to do there, it really is an adult playground!

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

Thanks! I'm still figuring this site out so as soon as I find it I'll read it. . .

Thank you for your attention @veganmommy. I am very pleased that you responded so quickly to my post

Hey! I'm brand new on here - awesome to see other vegans in the community. Found any other good veggiehead follows?

Hey, nice to meet you! So far I've found @savymenke she looks really good. I can't wait to try her vegan burger. What about you, any good ones? I'd also love some yogis to follow, too. It helps keep me motivated!

Thanks for the tip. Nothing yet... going to do some real exploring on here in the next few days. Looking forward to following your journey!

Hi, Lauren. Welcome. I'm Noah. I visited Tokyo last year and had a good time. I wrote about two places in Tokyo two days ago, so I leave the link to it. Hope my post help you.
Trip to Tokyo, Japan. (August 2016)

Thanks Noah, and it's nice to meet you. I would definitely describe myself as a homebody, too. I think that's what so amazing about traveling, you find yourself doing things and going places you normally never would. It really helps you learn about yourself. And your story was really great thanks, i enjoyed reading it.

@veganmommy welcome to Steemit....

Thank you!

Welcome on Steemit Lauren!

Is your husband on Steemit? You should get him on here if he's not already!

Thanks! cool graphics.

Hey Lauren. :) I really want to learn a second language. I've lived in France and Morocco, but was miserable because I didn't know french

Hello, Jac! It is very hard, but I think it's slowly starting to click. How lucky you are to have been there though, and it looks like you learned a lot! Your posts are amazing, I can't wait to try some. You'll have to let us all know when your book is done, so we can go buy it!

Hey, thank you. I've followed and can't wait to read through your content, too.

Hello @veganmommy!

Hello, Mike!

Welcome to steemit. I never knew there were so many places in Florida that accepted Bitcoin. That's awesome. If I visit Cleveland what's one thing I should do while I'm there?

Thanks for the welcome. Cleveland has some great attractions, and neighborhoods. I'd recommend University Circle, it's beautiful to walk and lots of places to go.

Awesome Ill have to check it out.

Welcome to Steemit! You are going to love this place! It's incredibly awesome and rewards quality contributors in a great way! Stick around for the long term though and follow some established authors here to quickly learn and grow with the community.

Thanks for the good advice. Nice to meet you.

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

It is so nice to know about people like you who are turning vegan.

Some vegans you might be interested in are @apolymask who recently was looking for other vegans (and anarchists) to connect with and @harrietbradley who recently made a post about other vegan bloggers!

Welcome! I just joined Steemit too. Yay! My gf has been vegetarian most of her life too. I'll be posting a lot of great content, mostly on health, including vegan recipes and info. Follow me to stay tuned :)

Welcome to steemit! I laughed a bit at the backwards first photo though hahaha

I used to mine bitcoin a few years back. If I had kept them all I would be a very rich man today. I once spent 8.9 btc to buy a 10 oz bar of silver. Not a good investment but at least I learned something from that, don't spend btc, it is not yet done appreciating. Same for some but not all of the other coins.

Hello, welcome to Steemit!
