Aloha! I currently work on a boat for Pacific Whale Foundation full time taking tourists out snorkeling and teaching them about the coral reef ecosystem, but making barely enough to live. And similar to you, Steemit has come across my path and I am pursuing this new financial venture to see what may come of it!
That is so cool that you made a big move! I can definitely relate. It mainly comes down to what makes me the most happy and how I can be the best possible version of myself. So far, the move has worked out really well. I'm assuming you have adapted to your new home well? Would love to hear any feedback or advice as I'm very new here!
