Nihao and Hello Steemians!steemCreated with Sketch.

Nihao (你好) and Hello Steemit Community :)

I'm Sebastian and my two biggest interests are travelling and crypto. After a wait that seemed to last forever my Steemit account was finally verified and I am really happy to be here!

I am currently living between Taiwan and New York and work for a crypto venture builder, a crypto startup and as an ICO advisor. Even though my home base is in Taipei, I generally prefer not to stay at one place for too long since my biggest passion is traveling and discovering new places - on and off the beaten track.

I actually started to discover my passion for travelling pretty late and have done about 50 countries in the last 10 years, bringing me to a total of about 65 countries visited. Two years ago, I hit a major personal milestone by visiting all of Lonely Planet Top 10 Wonders of the World

I usually spend a lot of time researching new places to visit. Oftentimes, I am struggling to decide which places are best for beaches, best for mountain scenery, best for seeing beautiful tea plantations, best for waterfalls, best colourful places, best medieval small towns, best for this and best for that. With this blog I would like to share with you a lot of the places that I have been to and places that I haven't been to yet and start a discussion about what are the most beautiful locations this wonderful planet has to offer!

Hey great post!
Your choices of travel destinations are similar to mine, you have my follow and I hope to learn from your blog.
Have a great day!

Thanks @nicksmitley. Love your skateboarding skills. I never learned to skate - but I do know how to wakeboard and snowboard :)

Awesome! Would be cool to see some videos.

Better not... It took me two years to succeed at a tantrum/backflip over an obstacle. Once I finally managed to land it twice in a row, I lost interest in wakeboarding and stopped. Snowboarding is a bit hard here in Taiwan - you need to fly to Japan to do that.

Hello and welcome to Steemit!

Really cool to see that you have traveled that much. I am doing the same, but I got much longer way to go :)
