Hello Fellow Steemitans,
My name is Shubha. and I am wondering, why the hell didn't I know about this community earlier! I discovered it while reading up an article on Facebook today and it was my own little Eureka moment. This makes me wonder, how less I know and how much more I have to learn from opportunities like this. I immediately joined it and since then, I am going crazy reading up articles, discovering people and getting keener every minute, to get to interact with you all :)
I am a retail professional from India, currently based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I am on a maternity break to raise our lovely daughter, Aria, who will turn 1 this New Year's eve. I have always loved to travel, read, write, capture moments, tell tales, experience new things, strike conversations.. I have also been creating some amateur content here and there.. be it pictory vlogs of our travels (that is full of local music), or the Instagram page on behalf of our baby girl..
Life is beautiful and extremely busy right now, but I was still missing being in action. Till now.. I believe in the power of Universe and I think, there is a reason I have come across the steemit today and I have a strong feeling that it is going to be an awesome experience being part of this community. So, what better day to say my first hello to you all, than my birthday :)
Here is a glimpse of my travel stories, that I will share with you all in the coming times!
Nubra Valley, Ladakh
Shot of the Kanchenjunga Peak from the base camp after 10 days of trekking in Himalayas
Wild horses in Pangong National Park, Ladakh, India
The Pregnant getaway to Gilli Islands, Indonesia
Paragliding in Bir Biling, Himachal Pradesh, India
Gokarna - The less travelled beachtown of India
A shot on the way - Goechala, Sikkim, India
Looking forward to get to know you all...
Cheers!

Hi @shakthi! Welcome to Steem! We're glad to have you here!
I am a Steem curator and have started a new series "The Daily 5" where I pick five new Steemians to share with my followers that they should know about. I have selected you as one of my five for today. Your post has been featured in my post you can find here: The Daily 5.
Unlike some of the bots and follow 4 follow spammers you will find in the Introduction tag, my work is 100% human and without any required response from you. While I invite you to come check out the post and interact in the comments, nothing further is required but that you enjoy your time here on Steem!
Have a great day! Looking forward to seeing more of you on the platform!!

Awesome post!! You will most certainly be welcomed and appreciated here on Steemit. It is a wonderful community and you will fit right in! But don't feel bad about not knowing about it. I was invited to a small conference with 40 different crypto-currency "experts" and not a single one had heard of steemit and by the end of the conference all of them had become steemians!
Love your adventure and the way you are chronicling it. Good luck and stay safe stay safe, yehaw.....
