As of end of November, I left my "regular" day job and started blogging on Steemit full time. Steemit has given me the financial freedom and time to live the life I have always wanted to live. Being a blogger has allowed me flexibility to travel and write. I wake up every morning feeling so thankful and grateful to be alive during such a wonderful time!

I have been blogging about my travels for the past three weeks, and it has been fun and educational. This week, I got to travel to Taiwan to visit my family. It has been over a decade since I have seen my relatives and grandma. Reflecting back on my Steemit journey, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be here with my family if it were not for all of your support! So thank you so much, for making this trip a reality! I just wanted to give a personal shoutout to all of my longterm friends and supporters. You guys rock! @xaero1 @tamim @teamsteem @kaylinart @ramengirl @acidyo @kevinwong @anomadsoul @v4vapid @emjoe @gtg @xabi @norwegianyogis @acromott @polebird @creadordelfuturo @theaustrianguy @stevenalexander @cobmaximus @charles1 @kpine @dtube

Because of the Steemit community, I got to see my grandma, who I love dearly! She is now 96, and still sharp as ever!

I even got to meet my niece and nephews for the first time! WOW! Our family is growing. They even helped me in a Steemit challenge. If you would like to see their amazing performance, please check it out here.

Thank you again, for making this a reality! I've missed my Taiwan family a lot, and I am so happy that I got to spend some quality time with each and every one of them.

I love my Steemit community! I hope this post inspires you to live the life you want to live! All we have is the present, so we must make each moment count!

Aww, this is so sweet. This is the indication that this platform is going to have a good future. It has provided the same thing and even better what YouTube provided to its content creators.

Oh wow, that is amazing!! Honestly! Steemit and Dtube will change so many more people's lives, but I'm so happy for you! You've got to enjoy my home country and I hope you will be going back there soon. Maybe one day we can meet and you can show me your yoga moves :)

Your grandma still looks so healthy and strong!! Amazing!! I hope she stays that way. It's really a blessing that you are able to live off of steemit now and be able to see your family again. You truly deserve it :)

Winny out...for now ;)

Aww thanks for the kind words! This really has been an incredible journey, and Iโ€™m so happy I can share it with you all

This is absolutely fantastic. It's so great to see someone do on Steemit what I want to do in the near future, you've set a great example. I remember when I first started to browse the site, there wasn't much and it seems like in the past 6 months things have really started to take off with the platform. Thus, making stories like yours possible. Really happy to see that you're living the life you want and that the Steemit is helping you do that. Enjoy all your travels and I hope to see more of Taiwan. Stay safe with the earthquakes, though! P.S. Your grandma looks wicked awesome.
