Hi Steemit!
I just started exploring this exciting new platform and I can already tell that I'm going to be obsessed! I found this social media website thanks to one of @dollarvigilante's youtube videos. I'm fairly new to all things cryptocurrency, but thanks to Jeff, the creator of The Dollar Vigilante, I've learned a lot these past couple of months. Okay so let me back up a bit and tell you a little bit about myself...
My name is Lauren and I'm a 21 years old currently living in San Diego, California. I'm an only child and I was raised by a single mother in the small ski town of Aspen, Colorado. I've been fortunate enough to travel ever since I was young, and after spending a year abroad in Brazil my Junior year of high school, I acquired the wanderlust bug. I'm lucky enough to say that I've been to 19 beautiful countries including a year in Australia and I hope to see so many more. I'd like to think I'm quite a diverse little bugger, who's picked up too many hobbies for one to handle. But I guess that's just how I like it. :)
Here are 10 facts about me: (aka some of my hobbies)
- I'm a pc gamer (steam summer sale, y'all!) some of my current favorite games include Skyrim, Overwatch, Hearthstone and Stardew Valley.
- I'm a huge fan of everything cryptocurrency/altcoin. I'm a proud
shareholderowner of Bitcoins and Ethereum, and I'm excited to start buying some STEEM! - I love photography and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm proud of my somewhat decent following on Instagram
- I've always loved taking videos of my life/surroundings and after putting editing off these past couple years, I've gotten back into it and starting editing and posting vlogs on my old youtube channel. Which is where I used to film beauty videos and makeup tutorials back in 2014 til I realized I really have no idea what I was talking about... lol
- I'm a HUGE tv fan (which is ironic cause I don't have cable). Some of my favorite tv shows include Game of Thrones, Rick and Morty, Breaking Bad, Westworld, Scandal, Black Mirror, Greys Anatomy, The Walking Dead, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and sooooo many more.
- I make and (unsuccessfully) sell dream catchers on Etsy I'm a big crafter and DIY-er and any chance I get, I'd rather make something than buy it.
- I'm an avid Reddit user, and have been for quite a while. Reddit > 4chan ..psst.. What time does a narwal bacon?
- I used to stream on twitch.tv but after a while I realized that I'd rather be a pleb in chat than a streamer.. KappaPride
- I speak three languages, English, French and Portuguese. French because my mom is first generation American and my grandma played a big role in my life as I was growing up. Portuguese because I like I mentioned, I studied abroad in Brazil when I was 16. I picked up the language quickly by living with host families and going to a public Brazilian high school, where literally no one but the English teach spoke English.
- I'd like to think of myself as an artist. I've dabble in various mediums including both in traditional and digital. You can see a fraction of my work here
I hope you got a small sense of who I am and what I like to do with those 10 facts. I'm a very straightforward and genuine person. I'm a realist with a positive outlook and I'm so excited to share my story and thoughts on various topics with this community. I'd love to hear your feedback and what your favorite thing about this platform is. I have so much more to learn! Let me know in the comments below! ♡

You know it!
hello and welcome and may God Bless you
Hi thank you :) I'm so excited to explore more of this site!
Right on Lauren, welcome to Steemit! Come on down to Bread & Salt (in San Diego) tonight for a show if you're into art, should be a good group of the usual creatives down there. Rock on!
I've never been to Bread & Salt so maybe I will. Thanks for the invite!
The first show was pretty rad, totally worth going!
I found steemit from @dollarvigilante's youtube too! :-)
Have you visited Morocco yet?
No way! That's awesome that he's brought over more than one person. And no, I haven't but it's definitely on my list of places I would love to see. I've looked at photos of Marrakech and it looks quite magical.
It is, if you like to travel and discover it will give you an unforgettable experience
Welcome
Welcome to Steemit @mrslauren! You have done quite a bit for only being 21.
Great introduction! Out of all the places you have been, which is your favorite?
I checked out your istagram; I like your style! You seem to have a very eventful life. I followed you. I'm interested to see your future posts.
Why thank you intrepidthinker :) I'm glad you liked it.
I get that question quite often, and to be honest, its hard to pick my top favorite. I have favorite parts and memories of each trip and each place but I cant get myself to rank my experiences and memories to say I had one favorite. I guess that's why I enjoy traveling so much. I explore new places without expecting it to become my new "favorite" but to take what I've learned from the people I met and the cultures I've immersed myself into and make my journey, and the other's I interact with, better.
I hope that makes sense. Sometimes things sound right in my head but don't come across like I wanted. Anyways thanks again for the follow and the kind words.
No problem! It definitely makes sense. That is a really good approach to exploring life, and applying what you pick up along the way. I have only been outside the US a couple times to Canada. I envy your travels.
It's the best investment you can make. I highly recommend it, especially visiting a place that's not a well known tourist destination.
