After about 240 days on this awesome platform I have finally hit 1000 followers! Thank you to all you creative and sometimes crazy Steemians for making this a journey to remember. I can truly say I am humbled by the support and excited about all the like-minded individuals I've met through this platform.
This is the kind of photo you'll find on my profile... a picture of me and my son on top of the world!
It is interesting to find a platform that actually reward you for being you. I've build my account from scratch, that is, without investing a single cent. Of course, it costed hours of hard grafting of posts and dusting off old photo's, but it also brought back fond memories of why I enjoy life. Furthermore, my South African Rand is not really worth much, so it is nice to be able to get a nice ROI for passion spent. ;)
I must admit, I would be nowhere if it was not for the support of a few awesome individuals and their related initiatives on Steemit. I'm sure I will be forgetting some guys from this list (SORRY), but a massive thanks to the following legends:
@choogirl (travel digest author & curator)
@czechglobalhosts (awesome guy with World Photo Challenge & Czech Challenge)
@dejan.vuckovic (cool guy, epic nature pics)
@extremeromance (travelling couple with epic photos)
@for91days (founders of Steemit Travellers)
@jpphotography (awesome traveller, awesome photos)
@juliank (photo contest master and great help when I started)
@phortun (friend with nice photos)
@schmidthappens (friend with epic photos, started on the platform same time as me)
@toocurious (epic travels)
@valth (always interesting posts)
Awesome projects I support and love:

So CHEERS, I'm drinking a Lagavulin 16yrs this evening (it is a Scottich single malt whishy for those who do not know)... to another 1000 x followers and many more friends!
Keep exploring...
@extremejogging
Haha! You got some humor there @extremejogging! I like that. Keep it up!
Finally someone that gets my humor... ;) You should check out my more humorous post from today. ;) Thanks for the support.
Happy for you Jaco, what a great achievement! Well deserved :) Thanks for the mention, I have been a huge fan of your lifestyle based on two passions we share - nature and sport. All the best to you in the future my friend.
Btw that cover photo is just epic! On top of the world indeed :)
Thanks for all your support and good luck to you to! I see all your posts these days are high value posts... impressive! ;)
Congratulations! Thanks for the mention and also thanks for mentioning our Discord!
I am about to hit 1.000 later this week, such a huge milestone :)
Almost a 1000 yourself... well done, well deserved. I love travelling so the Discord channel was a natural fit... unfortunately I don't have enough time to actually use it.
How many reasons do you have in this post dear friend @hilarski, I totally share your words, many arrive thinking only about the money that can be earned, without thinking about the sacrifice and commitment that is being here.
Thank you very much for sharing these tips.
I wish you a great day
I am very proud of you my friend and happy to see you are enjoying your time here. All the best to you and your family. Tomas
Thanks Tomas, truly appreciate your ongoing support! Keep up the good work... Jaco
Great news @extremejogging!
Congrats!
I am actually here since the last week, managed to hit 100 followers! Next step is 200, 300 ... and so on all the way up to what you have achieved!
Steemit rules! We are to become the biggest community in the World!
Thanks and keep up the good work your side! ;)
Congratulations my friend! It's great to see you hit that achievement! It's funny how much we've kept pace with each other in followers and reputation score since we started at the same time. Thanks so much for including me in your list of Steemers to thank, some of my favorites are included there. I look forward to seeing you hit 2000!
PS - That photo is so incredible!
Cool man, thanks for your ongoing support. You're photos are definitely more professional than mine... I see you are getting great traction. ;) Keep up the great work!
Awesome...congrats on the milestone. Well deserved!
...and I'm checking out the Steemit Travelers Discord channel now. Thanks for the tip on that.
Thanks for the support, see you on the Discord channel. ;)
Congratulations on 1000 followers! You post beautiful and inspirational photos and text, keep up the good work!
Thank you, I've also noticed your ongoing support! ;) Definitely someone I'll mention when I hit the 2000 one day. ;)
Congratulations with this achievement! Follower number 1010 I'll be, read some of your posts after I saw you mentioning this post in one of @juliank his postings.
Which mountain is it where your standing on top of the world with your son?
Did notice your #runforsteem thing also. Can you tell me more about it?
Thanks man, appreciate your support.
The mountain/hill we are standing on in Lion's Head in Cape Town, South Africa.
You can read all about #runforsteem on @jumowa's blog... it is his challenge. ;)
Wow really Lions Head, I thought that mountain wasn't that high? But you guys are above the clouds!
Will start following @jumowa also. Love to run to clear my mind and explore new area's.
Lion's Head isn't that high. I've been on much higher mountains, but the clouds sometimes come in low over Cape Town. ;)
Congratulations, Jaco! Well deserved :)
Thanks also to your ongoing support... much appreciated. ;)
Congratulations my friend, keep going, you are doing very good. Regards
Thanks for the support. ;)

Excellent way to celebrate your 1000 followers. I aspire to have the same amount as you. I know it's hard work but it's worth it. Beautiful the photograph you published, I wonder how you and your son got there. It is spectacular. Greetings from Venezuela! I follow you too!
