Congrats on your accomplishment! Yes, the best qualities of Steemit is the engagement and community building that goes on. The payouts, at least for us (as we know you stated it's a supplement income), is a bonus - a savings account/retirement fund that fluctuates like crazy! LOL

We hope and wish that we'll meet you in person. It might look likely with another Thailand trip for you later this year, but if not then we'll sure bump into each other somewhere in this world. Take it easy and thank you for your support! :D
