Hey Steemit Communtity, are you wanna be Friends?

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hi, folks!

Nice meeting all of you here, let me start by introducing myself - my name is Elena and I am a young Russian IT student in Canada. Right now my home is in Toronto, but originally I was born in one of the coldest parts of Russia - Siberia.

-"Wait a second, Siberia? Oouu! Snow every single day? Are you riding bears there? Vodka for breakfast?" etc...

All the fun stuff here begins! Of course, most of the people never heard of this part of the world, simply saying:

"If it is not Moscow or Saint Petersburg, it may be not considered as Russia"

Well, happy to say that, Russia is quite vast and it is never enough :) Farther and further till the very end, but the road seems so beautiful and surprisingly endless.

Yes. Snow here is a very friendly guest, and bears might be walking around the streets, vodka for breakfast is too hardcore, preferably for dinner:) Just kidding, but you never know what can hide beyond the neighbors' door. But I will definitely tell you about this, later on; the "Introduction to Siberia" awaits your attention, my friends.

Why Canada?

As I mentioned before, I came here to study and get my Diploma. I am a Seneca College student learning IT (hey Seneca people, if you are here!) Sometimes it gets pretty intense, sometimes it is fun; trying to maintain the healthy balance . My high school was in Russia, so basically, right after that, I continued my education across the ocean, very very far from home.

Why Steemit?

Well, I found myself continuously scrolling my Instagram/Facebook feeds without any goal. The worst part of that was the useless repeating information with a lot of annoying advertisement. Seriously, no fun anymore.
I love the idea of sharing your thoughts, talents, ideas with people. I believe in Community. I want to be part of the thriving Community which prospers and can be beneficial for both parties. Let's grow together!

The road back home is usually very interesting and quite long, so I am gonna be sharing with you my all adventures, travels, thoughts, news; sometimes just simply having a small conversation, "coffee talk", - honestly, I don't want to spread any fake and insincere things which are viral nowadays.

So, are you willing to start this journey?!

P.S. My Instagram - for more pictures

P.P.S. Leave your comments below, I'd love to communicate with you! Tell me about yourself, why are you here and everything.

xoxo

Really funny and great introduction of your self!
I'm sure you will love the community here on Steem.
Like you i was also bored from the everyday life in the other social medias. Platforms that prescribe what you can see from others and what others see from you, the censorship and the annoying ads.
I was greatful to find the Steem community.
Even if I am only one week here in this community, I am positively convinced of this new type of social media.
I wish you a good start here and all the best for your study!

Hello @elenae, and welcome to Steemit, and also welcome to Canada (though you may have been here a long while already). I hope you enjoy your studies in Toronto. I love hearing about people's experiences coming here from different parts of the globe. I think you're right that not a lot of people know what Siberia is really like, and I count myself among them, but as someone interested in geography and especially in northern lands, I look forward to seeing your posts about your homeland. :)
