Exploring the wide, wide world with all of you

What a world we live in, huh? From the charming back alleys of Bangkok, rife with the scent of strange, exotic foods frying on street corners, to the wide open skies of the Lao countryside, it's a place filled with wonder, new opportunities, and hope. Mankind has spread herself to every corner of our green-blue globe, and it is my passion to see as much of it as I can in the short time I have been allotted.

I see my own life as one unique story unfolding over time, and the world itself as thousands of thousands of all these stories intertwining and growing out, branching into others in unexpected ways. The story of all of us. It is my goal to see and hear as much of that story that I can and share it as much as i can, no matter what that takes. We are all equals, but we are all different too. Any story that was worth living is worth sharing. That's the philosophy that I live by. So, here I am.

I was referred to Steemit by a Colombian man who's been away from his homeland for five years now, working, making money, and meeting the earth and sky for himself in his own way. The concept of of Steemit intrigues me greatly, and strikes me as one of those few big innovations that shakes an industry around once in a decade. The application of blockchain technology to blogging is incredibly creative, and something that I would like to find myself being a part of.

As to my objective with Steemit, I hope to bring my experiences to all of you to share. I'm a digital nomad now, and freelance web design. I fell in love with the world, and I know that there are others that feel the same out there too. I also know that there are a lot of people out there that want to live a life like this as well, but aren't sure how to go about doing so. It's good then, to share the types of experiences that allowed me to live this type of lifestyle. I want my blog to be a resource for others, and an inspiration too.

There it is Steemit. I'm Drifting Horizons, and it's an absolute pleasure to find myself with you all.

  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
