Hello, Steemians! One of my coworkers told me about Steemit... It was sopposed to be a social media, where I can earn some cash with my stories, so I decided to crab my chance! I have been looking around here almost a month for now, writing some posts, voting, commenting, socializing, trying to curate and so on... My illusions to fund my travels, adventures or gear with Steemit income are broken apart for now, but I still like here and I'm not planning to leave this place, until its fun to be here! Besides, if I work hard here until the end of this year, I can still buy myself a good pair of merino woolen socks for hiking! 👌
First thing - English is not my native language! If you think I'm writing like a 6 year old kid, it's okay 😉, Improving my English is one of the many reasons to be here! Another good reason is to find new interesting like-minded friends all around the world. I'm already following some of them, enjoying, voting and commenting their good content and some of them are following me as well. I wouldn't exclude an opportunity to meet them in real life for some trekking or mountaineering adventure! If you think, we could plan something like this together, let me know! If you plan some visit and trek to Estonia (yes, I am native Estonian), let me know as well... Maybe I can give some good advice or be a co-hiker!
And now we have reached to my favorite topic - its outdoor adventures and traveling, specially everything involved to trekking, camping, hiking and mountaineering. This is exactly, what my future posts will talk about! I already have many good stories to tell from my past. I have climbed some mountains mostly in Europe, but also in Asia and Africa. If I'm saying "climbing", it doesn't mean, I'm some badass mountaineer. I'm somewhere in-between wannabe-mountaineer and mountain tourist, but it doesn't stop me to dream big... In addition to mountain stuff, I'm a big fan of trekking! My treks doesn't have any seasonal or weather limits - if I have some days for myself, I'll pack my stuff, go outside and take a hike!
I hope, you don't mind, if I'm not explaining too much about my personal life here. I'm not delighted about idea, to trap my personal information forever into blockchain. Besides, today I'm not the same person as yesterday and I have no idea, about tomorrow. If you really wanna know something meaningful, just ask 😉
In addition to above, I have to explain about my time-management! To get my stories for myself and Steemit, I have to plan it first, then comes action (travel, trek, adventure...), its followed by creating a post, video or whatever. It all consumes a lot of time! So I hope, you don't mind, if I'm gone, lost, invisible or whatever, sometimes for many days or even weeks in a row... I don't want and sometimes even can't to connect to the internet with my phone, while trekking.
That's it for now, let's get to know each-other here and who really wants to find me, I can help with a hint: there should be a link on my profile to somewhere, where is another link to my other profile in other social media platform, until you are able to contact me... Good luck! 😉
Thanks for your attention and time! 😊

welcome to steemit
Thank you! :)
your welcome
Warm welcome from Thailand and wishing you all the best as you begin your journey here on Steemit! Found you through @greetersguild!
Thanks a lot! :)
Congratulations, you have been featured in the Steemit Greeters Guild Newbie Spotlight! We hope for this to be motivation for you to continue with the amazing work. Always remember that there are people on Steemit that want to see YOU succeed. Please click here to read the post.
Thank you very much! It seems to help me a lot :)
Good stuff mate. I'll be sure to give you a shout if I ever visit Tallin. Good photos with a good, detailed narrative which helps people to get to know you will help attract the attention of the curators IMO. The quality of your English is fine and not so important as you are not a native English speaker :)
Thanks a lot! :)
Now I have so much positive feedback and motivation. I'll try to write new post soon :)
First off Welcome to Steemit!! You really have just found one of the best places to grow. Don't feel like a 6yr old with your English. I know people that it's their native language and speak far worse than a 6 yr old LOL.
Your pictures are breathtaking. As I recommend to anyone do what makes your heart sing. With your trekking and hiking, then to come back here and share our adventures would be amazing.
If you do feel yourself getting frustrated with the platform there are a few groups out there to help @greetersguild, @newbieresteemday and I have to believe there is a trekking group so you are around people that have similar interests. If you have questions...ask you and post a comment or even do a post. I look forward to seeing more adventures from you.
Thank you very much! :)
I'll look around in groups, maybe I can find some of them suited for my hobbies too...
@martinsu If I hear of any I'll let you know.
Thanks! I hope to find some :)
Found your post from the Newbie Spotlight post by @greetersguild. Welcome to steemit!

Welcome to steemit
Thanks! :)
Teretulemast!
I also had high hopes when I first joined Steemit but through the months I learnt that the only way of becoming rich here individually is to already have a ton of money (and invest it here). Even though it did break my mood a little, I like having a place to express myself... plus I've found some pretty awesome friends here!
Thank you! :)
I can see it too, but posting in facebook don't bring me any single cent in 9 years and I still do it for fun, inspiring and entertaining my friends. Why not to do it here as well, if I can improve my English, get additional friends and some bucks in long term. So, let's have nice time here and exchange some interesting stories, that's what I'm thinking now :)
And now I noticed, we are from same city :D
My first reaction to "teretulemast" was a nice way to say "hello" to me with google translator :)
Welcome! Keep climbing, keep writing, keep posting! =)
Thank you, I will! :)
And I hope, you'll keep writing too ;)
Welcome to Steemit. It's really a good platform for the nurturing authors and for the people who want to share their good work with the world. You'll surely have a nice time here. Lots of good wishes and good luck to you!! :):)

Wow your bikes look beautiful. Hey keep posting you never knew when a whale will upvote you. Besides you will keep gaining followers and with enough dedication after a year you might be managing a few dollars on each part without any big big accounts up voting you.
Is like hiking just keep going one foot/post after another.
Thanks! Looks like it actually works here this way in long term :)
Interesting article, you're done! Welcome to Steemit, I wish you successful development. I followed you, I hope you will follow me.
Thanks! I'll do my best on my way here to develop interesting articles :)
