This is my story, what's yours? :)

in #travel7 years ago

Hey :)

I am not so good in describing myself but I will try to tell a little story.

Well, my name is Gabriela but you can call me either "Gabi" or "wolfy". "wolfy" because I love wolves. Each one of us find himself in an animal so wolf it's the one for me.

"Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mate and their pack. Yet both have been hounded, harassed and falsely imputed to be devouring and devious, overly aggressive, of less value than those who are their detractors." Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I have a twin sister. I am a little introvert (actually more). I try to make new friends but I am very selective as I don't need fake people around me. I've been there way too many times so now I am trying to keep into my life only the ones who really deserve to. I love animals, wild animals and dogs. I also love to drive. For now only a car, but in the near future (I hope) I will ride a motorcycle, as it's a very big dream of mine and I am working hard to achieve it. I also like spending a part of my free time gaming. I play video games since I was 11 or so. Hmm..what else..oh, I love reading books - living others stories.

Currently I am studying Finances and Banks in Bucharest. From time to time I try to change the routine of "eat, sleep, study/work, repeat" and I like to get some friends and visit other cities or different places where we haven't been before. I just love to get in a new place and find the beauty of that city, especially the wilderness. I like to get lost traveling and discovering different waterfalls, caves, mountains, ravines, and so on.

My parents, especially my father, traveled a lot in his youth so I guess I've got this from him somehow as it's not a passion anymore but it's in my bones. I feel "home" in the wilderness. I just can't describe those moments when you are camping and telling stories on a camping fire, maybe singing on a guitar..the early mornings to watch the sunrise with a hot cup of coffee in your hands.. climbing the mountains and discovering their secrets..the views from the tent, when nothing else matters but only having good times and creating great memories with the right people from your life...watching the fog of the mountains in the cold days or after a stormy night..waking up on 3-4 AM just to watch the stars and the moon.. and so on :)

I remember I was traveling with my family since I was very, very young, but for about 7 years we started the camping adventure. At the beginning of 2017 I've got a GoPro camera which I take with me in all my travels and I record everything then make a short movie about it. In this way I am sure I can get back to those moments whenever I can't go into the wild.

So this is my story, what's yours? :)20915530_1459646774124409_489242528606658592_n.jpg

welcome! Glad to see you here. Hope you dont get as addicted as I am to steemit! ;-)

Haha, but it's a nice place! :D

Hey Wolfy, welcome ;)
Glad to see another friend of nature join this platform! To give you a little boost for your start, I resteemed (=shared) you via @welcoming, an account presenting promising newcomers!
Greets!

Thank youuuu! Much love! <3

Nice story! :)

I share the same love for wolfs . I adopted a dog that turned out to be 1/4 a wolf :)

I hope one day I will addopt a wolf for real, haha :D

Hey, hope you post videos of your travels soon ...

It's on my list, stay tuned! :D

Welcome to steemit, @gabrielatravels!

You are a gifted storyteller. I am a storyteller myself, so i can tell. :)

My profile is @flashfiction and i would like to present you some links i found really useful when i first signed up here. They will make you start with the right foot on Steemit!

These links will all open on the SAME TAB (Yeah, i know...), so i recommend opening them with "right click->open in a new tab".

LinkCheckDescription
Growing FastTopYou HAVE to register here, if you want to build an audience FAST. It's a free service for boosting exposure, upvotes and followers. You just have to click on "login". Have your key at hand (That awfully long number you got when you signed up on Steemit). The tutorials are easy to follow.
All about steem coinsTopThere are three coins of use on Steemit, and understanding them is critical for your success. This is a short explaining video, the very best i've found.
MarkdownTopEven if you can use some basic HTML on your posts, the correct way to format them is NOT HTML. You use a marking ruleset called, yeah, "Markdown". Have this as a complete reference.
PostingMediumThe top activities on this site are posting, upvoting and commenting. This is an excellent tutorial about making your posts look great. Don't miss it!
UpvotingMediumYeah, you tought upvoting was just a matter of machine-gunning your clicks and make easy bucks. Nah. It is actually a little more complicated than that. All you need to know is here.
Better interfaceMediumLet's face it: The interface on Steemit is pretty basic. "Busy" is an alternate interface you can use, more polished and easy to navigate. Both of them can be used simultaneously. Again, you just have to login.
Using BotsMediumThere are a lot of things to learn about this platform, and understanding bots is one of the most important. They are little different services you can access for a fee. I found this tutorial extremely useful.
Trevon JamesMediumI know, i know... there are lots and lots of GREAT steemians here for picking one to recommend, but i just love Trevon's style. He explains EVERYTHING you need to know about Steemit (and crypto) in a funny, accesible way. Check him out.
@flashfictionAwesomeWell, duh. My profile! ;) I write short fiction and tutorials on creative writing. I would be honored if you'd follow me.

Anything i cand help you with, i'm at your service!

See you around!

Great, I will take a look when I get some free time, thank you! :D

Hello Gabriela . Am glad you are here on steemit. Hope you have a lovely time here on steemit. I upvoted you,its small, but just a sign of my good will.

Am on a contest now and I really need your vote. All you need do is click this link https://steemit.com/contest/@jaynie/the-never-would-i-ever-challenge-3-sports

And then upvote my comment @stellastella in the comment section.
That will help me win the sports contest. Thanks a lot for your anticipated help. You can join the contest also if you desire. Thanks alot for your help

Welcome to Steemit, Gabriela. Good introduction. I loved reading it, very well written. I will look forward to reading a post from you soon in which you are already riding a motorcycle. Keep up the good work and have fun doing what you do.

Thank you so much!! :D I also dream to that day, hope to be in the near future though :)

Don't worry that day will come soon, just do not give up.

I will never give up on anything :)

Good to know that. :)

Thanks for your support. :) Started posting daily and even motivational speeches. More to come in the next days :)

You are most welcome buddy! That's a good news. I will keep an eye out.

Hey Gabi/ Wolfy! I saw your post in the discord app and wanted to come by and say hey and get to know you better. I'm glad you said that it's possible to learn to use a gopro better without the display (in discord). You're inspiring me to maybe go for trying it again!

So cool that you travel with your family! Mine doesn't travel at all!

Wow! Thank you so much! Really..don't know what to say to such kind words! Thanks, glad to see you on here and if I can help you with something, let me know. You can add me on discord if you want :)
Yep, it's cool traveling with family, I really love that and that I got this passion from my family since they were adventurous kind in their youth :)
