Hello and welcome! Thanks for the excellent introduceyourself post.
I couldn't live far from the forest and mountains myself either. Forest has everything to sustain life indefinitely, and mountains give you fresh and clean water.
Congratulations on being an engineer at only 21 years old! That's your profession. Do you have a trade to go along with it like machinist or mechanic? I tell my children to have both a profession and a trade, and the trade being directly related to the profession is best.
I made a post long ago to help onboard new people and give them good information on how to get started. Read through it if you want some tips and tricks on becoming a pro Steemian!
