Hi Steemit friends!
I’ve been posting for couple of weeks now, I thought it is time for a proper introduction.
The basics
My name is Selen and I am 27 years old. I graduated from chemical engineering, currently working as a full-time quality engineer. I am a Turkish girl by the way, born and raised in İzmir, Turkey, studied one year in Bologna, Italy. Still think of it as a second hometown.
Who am I, really?
I am a traveler. If I am on a plane, I am happy, I am complete, I am home. The longer the flight the better for me. Exploring unfamiliar places, meeting new people along the way, getting to know a new culture, trying new foods, these are the things that make me feel alive.
Lucky for me the man I love shares my desire for travel. We are engaged and getting married this year.
I am an animal lover. I have a cat and two water turtles. I try to do as much good as I can, volunteer for shelters when I get the chance. Also I am a tree hugger. Give me a backpack, a tent and set me free in the nature, this is the happiest I can be.
I am a dreamer. Always have a dream, things I want to achieve. Horseback riding, snowboarding, skydiving, salsa, bachata and tango… Always searching for something new to try. There are so many things to do but so little time. My newest addition to the list; recently started taking violoncello courses.
I am just getting into photography. I am no good at it, not yet at least. But trying hard to get better.
I've always wanted to be able to share my travel stories with other people. Steemit is the perfect platform for this. Meeting with the people who are amazingly good at the things I am interested in. Reading their travel stories, learning from their photography has thought me a lot and changed my point of view in many ways. I want to contribute this community with good quality posts and maybe be an inspiration to someone as many people in steemit has been to me.
So this is me. Basically a girl trying to find her place in the world, chasing her dreams, trying to get better at what she loves.
Appreciate all your support and comments. So happy to meet you all.
Welcome!
AwESoMEe intro! Welcome aboard! Very nice to have you here as part of the community! Looking forward to more from you!
Love to travel hate to fly, haha. Unless it's on a bush plane. I just got on here too. Looking forward to seeing where your life leads you. Hoşgeldiniz or something..

Thanks for dropping by, I will check your post as well :)
I just have to be honest with you here.
Great to have yet another intellectual person on here!:) Engineer away! also on Steem :)
Greetings from Amsterdam

Haha he was a foster with his mother and siblings and in this photo he was only a few days old, all of them are with their new families now. Thank you for dropping by. I was going to follow you back but it seems like I had already done it :) nice to meet you :)
Great intro @cerenselenapa ! :) Can't wait to hear you play violoncello course :P You'll HAVE to treat us with a concert :) But more seriously, great pics and articles!
Oh thank you :) We'll talk only in 2 short years about that concert :)
Again thank you for your support, your comments and upvotes have been the most amazing driving force for me at times when I felt I couldn't make it in here. I appreciate it more than you know
see you then in two years time :)
The question is... Is it considered rape if the tree doesn't want to be huged? Ahahah really nice to meet you. I'm also a huge tree huger. We have some traces in common will follow you're posts! Good luck
Well the tree would just have to deal with it :) nice to meet you, followed back
Welcome to steemit! is always nice to explore, i wish i could travel as much as you
What's the best destiny for you?
Thank you, I would say Valencia
welcome here wish you have a good time
Thank you :)
Hi Selen, nice to meet you. We have a lot in common :) Really liked your introduction. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi, thank you. Followed you, your blog seems interesting
Out of curiosity, what do you feel when you hug a tree? :)
You know we don't actually hug trees right :D
Oh, so you are a Treehugger as an Environmentalist. I thought you actually like hugging trees. I tried that once because I read somewhere that tree hugging can give you a natural high. It felt strange at first but after a while, I felt really calm. That is why I wanted to know what you feel :)
No, I meant it as an environmentalist :) Maybe I explained it wrong, since English is not my first language.
But definitely will try actually hugging a tree soon :)
This was an awesome intro @cereneselenapa I welcome you to Steemit and wish you well. Have fun, share your heart like you just did and you will gain a great following. I just love your spirit nature and feel a kindred spirit vibe with you. Great to meet you here, and I look forward to your postings.... keep following your hearts desires. Just sayin... that last photo is outstanding!
Thank you for your support and for your kind words, made me really happy :) You are a great photographer I will follow and try to learn from you :)
Welcome to Steemit! Enjoy your stay Bologna and your future trips!! Steemit is great community for travelers and sharing contents!!
Thank you!
Steemit is definitely the place for you to share you travel stories. Your intro is really good....You did a great job.

super blog that is
thanks for the valuable post

Great post. Thank you for sharing. :-)
Thank you for dropping by :)
You welcome. :-)
Steemit just grew a bit better with you on it! I totally feel the same about long flights, even though I'm 6'6 tall and the regular economy seats are getting smaller and smaller.
We loved our For 91 Days Istanbul, we even rescued a kitten there and wrote an entire post about it and cats in Istanbul general.
Also thank you for joining our Discord Travel Server, so happy you found us! Steem on!
Thank you for your really sincere and nice comment. I considered myself tall (5'10) but you need two seats to be comfortable on a plane :)
There are many stray cats and dogs in Turkey and everyone takes real good care of them. Even my own cat is a resque cat.I will read your post about Istanbul :)
I'm glad I found you thanks to @world-travel-pro . You all have been really supportive and you guys are the ones that I look up to learn and get better.
We're pretty new too but the learning curve was crazy and there is so much we learn every single day. There might be some news coming soon which will benefit everyone on our Discord Group. You might have to scroll down a bit to find the cat post :)
Welcome to the community and I just notice something.
Location is same as @artizm. You know each other ?
Yes we are really close friends :)
ah, so i am a good investigator.
thanks for your reply
Oh yes you are great! I'm suprised you noticed that!
I saw the Turkey and decided to check the location and then it looks familiar😎
Happy to have you in our little Steemit family @cerenselenapa Cant wait to watch your photo skills expand while you travel the world and hug trees! hehe
