Introducing Wild Wanderer!

Hello wonderful world of steemians!

I am excited to share this platform with such an involved community where people from all walks of life can gather to be heard, to contribute in conversations and experiences!

I am a photographer, mother, and dancer who is not afraid to follow my heart and my intuition. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa close enough to the city and the country to enjoy the best of both.

So many things in this beautiful life captivate me ranging from portrait and nature photography, to parenting, child development, mindfulness, fire flow arts, dancing, and even gardening and nutrition.

Learning continuously is one of my highest values (I'm a bit of a nerd actually). I've currently been quite taken by topics which I avoided in the past - things like human rights, libertarianism and even philosophy and poetry.

Wildly wandering from idea to idea, skill to skill, conversation to conversation and now the wonderful world of steemit.

Post below your current interests, your favorite book and your steemit page - I look forward to connecting with you!

Hello wildwanderer! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome mama, I'm at the steemitmamas discord too and found you from there.

You have a beautiful family. Looking forward to your posts and my gosh, we have another photographer in steemit! This place is good for finding talented people but also be on the lookout for unscrupulous characters. Make sure to watermark your pics :)

See you around mama! I have a few friends I found from SA and they are wonderful people.

Thanks @lovenfreedom, I will keep that in mind! I look forward to getting to know you! See you on discord 💃🏻

Welcome to Steemit! ;)
Alan Watts is great

Ah! I love his writing so much!

Welcome, welcome, welcome it is truly awesome to have you here!

The community here is awesome for those who take the time to form bonds, friendships and engage in the right way...You sound just the kind of person the community needs more of. You will come across many negative views of Steem on your travels here, in my experience they are usually from people here for other reasons than interacting and sharing with like minded peeps.

My favourite aspect of the platform is that I can talk to and make friendships with people from Venezuela, Australia, Macedonia, India and indeed South Africa...That is something very special indeed and something I cherish about the blockchain.

For truly community minded Steemians, I highly recommend joining Steemit servers on Discord...For a while I believed I did not need another platform in my life but WOW! I have made some amazing friends there...Real friends. Obviously you should start with @poeticsnake 's server where you can share and promote your posts, chat with some cool peeps including the slithering Steemian herself, It's also an amazing place to get all your questions answered and often join online Steemit radio shows highly recommended.

Congratulations on being Snekked!

If you ever need help or advice, please do not hesitate, I am always around!

May your journey be fun, fruitful and fulfilling

So wonderful to be here! I was reluctant at first but I'm blown away already! I will definitely jump onto Discord as well - it looks like an amazing social platform! And wow, I didn't even know there were Steemit radio shows! Thanks so much for taking the time to educate me <3

I am so excited!!!

Oh there is so much more than we initially see. Many of the radio shows (and visual shows too) have amazing giveaways as well as fab info and coaching and workshops, from up-votes, to coins, to physical items etc.
If you need any discord pointers or recommended groups to join, just give e a shout, my name is the same there too. :)

Welcome! I got to visit Cape Town back in December and had a wonderful trip. A very beautiful country.

Oh and you got to see the most beautiful side (in my opinion) of our country! If it wasn’t for their wet winters (and all my friends and family being up here in Johannesburg) I’d move there - it’s a photographers dream!

Welcome to steemit, there is space for everyone here including wild wanderers.

Haha! Good to hear :P
