Hello, I'm anna-bella. Recently a friend of mine talked to me briefly about Steemit, and I instantly felt this would be a very exciting place to get involved.
Over the last 10 years or so, I have lived/worked in several different countries because of my profession (Japan, US, UK, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands), so I learned to appreciate different culture, lifestyle and food scene in each places. I have been wanting to start my blog based on my experience for years... and it seems like the time has finally arrived, in a perfect timing in an amazing platform!
Since I am currently based in Europe, I'll be posting about my life in Europe, sharing my passion in photography with a focus on lifestyle, travel and all the beautiful things I spot, such as restaurants and chic hotels. For example, this photo below was taken recently when I discovered an elegant restaurant called Pauly Saal in Berlin, Germany.
I am particularly interested in things that have polished and sophisticated look. Beautiful things inspire me.. ranging from Ladurée's macarons to a gorgeous mountain view in Switzerland.
My passion for these things must have come from my mother. My mum used to take me to her favourite antique furniture shops to browse around, and she loved decorating our house with nice little things. I myself became a fan of interior/table styling as well (although my profession is absolutely nothing to do with interior design). This is just one of the pics of the dinner table I arranged for the recent festive season at home.
By the way, my Steemit name 'anna-bella' is the name of a French restaurant, which my mum used to take me to on a special occasion when I was a little girl. I have fond memories of my childhood there.
On my next blog, I hope I can show you more about the restaurant Pauly Saal (Berlin, Germany) mentioned above.
Thanks for reading, I am looking forward to sharing my life in Europe stories with you as well as gaining lots of inspirations from the community!!
Hello and Welcome to Steemit. I hope you will enjoy Steemit as much as I do. See you around! :-)

Hi Anna
Welcome to Steemit and it's very nice to read your post and to know how you developed your interests and likings. As we grow up from early age we discover things around us and develop our own unique interests which we try to pursue in later in life. As our physical body grows, inner self also develops and take a shape like physical body. If physical body is hardware inner-self is software. So we have to use our soft ware well and steer through life. We await your wonderful and beautiful experiences to unfold for Steemians. Cheers.

Hallo @screenit! I'm also completely new here. So much to learn.. Good luck to us!
Welcome to Steemit Anna :) I am glad to be welcoming you onboard, I am pretty sure steemit is the platform that you are able to express and channel your thoughts to more audiences and readers here. I've been living in Europe too but now I am settling down in Asia country and I miss how lovely the landscape and the food over there. Chats aside, I will definitely keep an eye on you :) Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for your warm welcome @explorenations! Where about Europe were you based before? Look forward to sharing my stories with you!
I was based in Munich, Germany :)
wow! you've worked in many countries!!! it looks like a great experience!!! I'm also a food lover so I'll wait for your next post!!:)
Thanks for your comment @cjswokuku. You're a financial advisor in South Korea? I followed you! Looking forward to sharing my stories with you : )
Hi anna-bella! Welcome to steemit! I am only a week old on steemit as well and have given myself the mission to welcome more new users like you. It is not that easy to get upvotes (that are not paid), comments and followers, or even people that actually read your quality posts. So I would like to contribute by doing this action daily, maybe it could make a little difference! Looking forward to learn more about you :)
Hi jessicapixie, that's very kind of you. I've only just started, but I wonder how my posts can be seen by many people..... is there any tactics!? Seen only by for example 5 people... is a bit sad! Anyway good luck to you too!
I am still learning about the tactics myself. Some steemians use voting bots, I haven't yet, we shall see. But yesterday I joined the Discord channel of the #minnowsupportproject, I totally recommend it! You can meet people in the chat room and maybe get more visibility of your posts. I also joined https://steemfollower.com/ today. In this case you don't buy votes, but rather exchange them with other steemians. I believe it really helps getting visibility. Good luck!
Thanks for your tips jessicapixie! I still don't understand all the technical terms.... but I'll be learning as well. Will share if I find any useful stuff for people like us ; ) have a lovely day!
Congratulations @anna-bella!
