I love this post!! It's such a cool idea, first of all, to post about your travels on steemit, while travelling haha, but more importantly, to give an appreciative shout-out to so many people. I am always big on showing your appreciation to others, and your post does that beautifully. Plus, it's a great way for readers to head out there and start learning about some other steemians. I recognize a few names, but not many...so I know what I'm doing this weekend ;)
Congratulations on your anniversary as well! I've only been here three and a half months, but it feels much longer (in a good way;), because I have purposefully joined different groups, genuinely commented and developed a lot of awesome relationships. Your post, if it's ok, is one I would like to duplicate, or at the very least, suggest to others to do...of course giving you credit for the idea. I am a member of several groups who help new people here, and my first advice is to always look out and learn from others, don't focus on your own posts...this is a perfect example of that!
Hope you're having an awesome weekend:) Thanks again for a lovely post!
Thank you very much, I always appreciate a good comment and you made an entire post out of yours! This is a evolution of the video vlog I have done for many years on YouTube - but when I moved to Steemit it felt like just leaving a YouTube video link was not going to cut it as a post - so I started taking screen grabs of various points and making a little story out of what I was talking about in the vlog. The pictures turned to gifs to make it more lively on the page, and then I started to add in the blog pages I had enjoyed on Steemit.
And that is how it came about, but I honestly can not say this is a unique to me format - plenty of people makes posts that mention and link to other posts - apparently it's called a Curation post. So feel free to do whatever you fancy as far as creating posts that share the posts you love - I think it's the best way to share content and connect more people with posts they might enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post an leave such a lovely comment.

Thank you so much, that's sweet of you to say! I really believe in genuine commenting so thank you for noticing. And thanks for the 'curation' idea as well; you may not be the original inventor, but you did a great job here with it. You should check out #shoutoutsaturdays; an initiative started by @crazybgadventure, who you mention here ;) It's a chance to write a post on Saturdays mentioning three new steemians you encountered during the week and how they affected you. Pretty awesome!
Thank you again for the kind words! Cheers!
