Hello Steemit Community! Excited to be here!

[nashi]

So after two years of not using Facebook and being rather disenfranchised with social media as a whole I was finally convinced to join Steemit. I have to admit that after surfing around the platform I am actually quite excited to be here. There are so many creative people and both the idea of learning and sharing is more than enough to get me excited about jumping in and being a part of this awesome community.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
I’m 27 and live in the South West of the U.K. At the moment I work for a small coffee shop that specialises in gourmet brews. All in all it’s a pretty laid back job so I can’t grumble. The area I live in is extremely rich in natural beauty and a lot of my time is spent hiking and exploring some of our more rural sites. Things like old stone circles and ancient monoliths are everywhere here so I’m never bored. I occasionally go to some of our cider festivals in my quite little corner of the U.K. but otherwise spend most of my time outside.

WHAT I HOPE TO BLOG ABOUT...
This is actually a big question for me to ask myself. I have a lot of different interests that I’ve found posts on so I know that there’s a place on Steemit for me to get involved. Subjects like foraging, gardening, restoring antique furniture, music, photography are all passions of mine. But it has been such a long time since I have shared or articulated any of these things via social media. So I’m hoping by supporting others and sharing on Steemit I will be able to grow creatively and maybe help others out in the process.

Well, thank you so much for reading and I can’t wait to check out all of the amazing posts and content on this great platform.

Hello nashi! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

I've just joined too, so hello there!

Beautiful photo of the stone circle, I love to visit the ones up North - planning a camping trip up to Callanish before the summer starts to fade out.
