Aaaaw thank you so much for your lovely words @pele23!!! πππ
I'm really happy that you felt that way. It's been always my aim to welcome new users in such way - I mean we've all started from zero, so I remember pretty well how it was in the beginnings. It's just a way of giving back what I have received over the past months. That's also the no. 1 reason why I'm on steemit since such a long time: the mutual inspiration! I've never experienced that on any other platform.
I'm not sure if I'm willing to swim in the icecold November's water, haha! But maybe I'll give it a try anyways when approaching one of these amazing spots. I think @heiditravels is organizing something in that context...
Again, thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment!
PS: I've seen your message in the chat - will get back tomorrow with more time since your article deserves full attention and today was quite hectic...
