Hello Steemit!
It is always hard to introduce ourselves… so much to say yet so hard to put it down in words.
So first things firsts: Who am i? Am a 28year old human lover, citizen of the world. Raised in a bicultural setting, growned up in an island, studied and worked in a a country's capital, currently working and living with the boyfriend in a dark, cold awesome place called Sweden. Not so many family and friends physically around, but hoping for a change soon.
Growing up we get bombarded by the same old question: "what do you wanna be when you grow up?"
My answer? I wanna be happy! Of course as a 5 year old you can't reply that. Judgy adultpeople will start pointing and laughing and saying "ohhh how cute… but really, what do you wanna be?"
Second answer: "I wanna be a doctor!"… Of course it was always followed by the typical "oh wow", "you need to study a lot", "you are going to be rich" and so on. (PS. No, you don't get rich. Unless you sell your soul and become a money driven doctor. But don't choose those. Choose the caring and more know-it-all ones, the ones who work for 36 hours and still take some time to answer your calls and emails off hours)
Back then i was inhenrently curious about the world… and i thought the human body as being one truly fascinating mesmerizing machine. So being a doctor would, i thought, feed my curiosity whilst helping other into living healthier and happier lifes. For me, it was a path to happiness.
Twisted life as it can be, i didn't ended up in a clinical speciality, such as being a surgeon, as i thought i'd be at the beggining of med school. Instead, life surprised me into finding my true passion in Public Health.
What is Public Health? It is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public, private, communities and individuals.
So instead of one-to-one doctor-patient relationship… i get a one-on-one doctor-populations relationship. Pretty awesome!! So my life devotions is making your lifes healthier and happier.
But enough about what i do to get some food on the table, a roof over the head and an airplane ticket in my hand.
What do i expect from Steemit?
To get rich! Get rich from all your stories and valuable lessons. To grow up by all our sharings. Because sharing is indeed caring, and it is through communications and storytelling that we become aware of each others struggles, needs, achievements and on. SO get those posts pumpin', can't wait to read them!!
What can you expect from me?
My reflections on nowadays society and lifestyles, what drives in life, different cultures and how we perceive one another, the WOW factor, travelling, cooking adventures with the boyfriend trying new dishes, being an expat, sports, entertainment, new challenges… well, life in general. Ohh, and some healthy tips :)
See you very soon!
Steemit needs more STEM professionals. Welcome! I looked at doing medical school, but I was broke. My plan was to get into a MLT program, go to med school, and be a forensic medical examiner. It just didn't happen though. I'm more interested in nutrition these days anyway to avoid disease in the first place.
I ended up doing very different things. In addition to being a residential security expert, I'm also a private investigator. People watching is a passion of mine. One of the things I do is look through intro posts for new accounts that show promise. Yours does!
There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:
https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)
https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)
https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)
Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.
Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too. The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story." Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer. Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text. Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.
Again, welcome, and I've followed you! If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.
Hi @finnian ! Thank you for the intro-to-steemit, it is very useful undoubtely.
Nutrition is a very much needed field that needs good professionals to spread all those healthy tasty practices. It is unfortunate that in a world with more obese people than hungry people, still the numbers of people in hunger have risen since last year. In a word of extremes, we need good evidence, practice, and spreading the knowledge to create a more sustainable healthy tasty "planet".
Nice to see you are passionate about what you do in life, keep rocking and sharing love and kindness.

Hello and Welcome! Nice to meet you! Thanks for join
Hello @saraarc and greetings from the even colder neighbour: Finland (of course I don't know where do you live in Sweden but when I visited Stockholm in last February it felt like a summer compared to Helsinki's wet brown snow filled streets) :D
I hope you will enjoy your time here.
Välkommen!
Hej @celestal !! Thanks, still trying to figure it around here, but great potential i see so far.
Finland is in my top places to visit soon... have any recommendations?
Cool! In that case my absolutely best recommendation is Koli National Park in Eastern Finland, the views are argueably the best you can find here. If you want a sneak peak, my blog page's background image is in fact from the Koli fell itself that I took when I was there an year ago.
You can either hike in the park and in the nearby area of it or rent a room but speaking from experience I can definitely recommend hiking for the full immersion.
Welcome to Steemit. I believe you will enjoy your stay here and bring more creativity to this community. Feel free to make friends. Much love from me.
George from Nigeria.
Thanks!! Sending some love from Sweden back to beautiful Nigeria
