#introduceyourself as a real life digital nomad! Let's talk travel, working remotely, and of course, cryptosteemCreated with Sketch.

Hi! My name is Christa, and I’m addicted to traveling. Screen Shot 2018-07-22 at 10.37.22 PM.png

Why I'm Here, in One Paragraph
Since 2013, I’ve managed to make travel one of the biggest elements of my life, and if you can imagine, I’ve learned a lot in the process! I want to use Steemit as a place where I can share it all, since it’s high-time I started blogging. Steemit seems like the right place for me because I won’t just be putting out what I think others will find helpful, I’ll be connecting with others and learning (hopefully more about crypto) in the process. I can’t wait to start networking and learning from some of you!

Travel and Digital Nomadism Is What I’ll Be Writing About
Travel advice, destination information, lifestyle motivation, as well as some good, old-fashioned traveler networking is what you can expect here moving forward! I’ll probably talk more about travel as a whole, rather than destination advice. But if anyone wants to know about any one of the countries highlighted below, just ask me and I’ll put a post together for you :)

Who Am I, Really?
I am a 30 year old professional gypsy, originally from Boston by way of New York. I take my career as seriously as I take finding and hopping on the next cheap flight to a place I’ve never been before.

I love making new friends, dancing in the rain, and exploring the most exotic corners of the world that I can physically reach. My other online personality is @Christabellatravels, if you all want to follow along on my daily adventures on Instagram.

I often refer to myself as a digital nomad, since I’ve been working remotely for nearly three years now, averaging roughly 8 new countries per year. I do marketing strategy for a tech startup (we’re pre-launch and I’d rather not mix work and play at this time, so I’ll tell you more about what I really do in the future), and I “work from home”, so to speak. The thing though, is that I don’t actually have a home. I live out of suitcases and backpacks. I post up in Airbnb’s mostly, hostels when I’m feeling lonely, and hotels when I’m feeling either anti-social or fancy :)

Before I became a digital nomad, I was an expat for two years. I decided that my dark apartment in NYC was not making me happy, so I booked a one-way ticket to Thailand and moved to Bangkok, Thailand, where I worked as a magazine editor. It was truly a magical experience living in such an exotic place and being part of such a cool international community. (I regret all the time not keeping a blog while I was there, hence why I’m on Steemit now!)

I often say that Bangkok is where I feel like my life actually began. Up until that point, my life was all a pregame. A test drive. Batting practice… something like that. It was happening, and it was real, but I was only half of who I am now. Maybe you have no idea what I mean by that… or maybe you’ve lived abroad and had a similar experience. If so, please introduce yourself!

I Want to Network and Meet You!
Like I said, I love making new friends but I especially love to connect with other likeminded people. Please do introduce yourself if you are a current or aspiring:

**Digital nomad / World traveler/ Expat (let’s be friends!)
**Cryptocurrency writer (help me understand!)
**Marketing pro (let’s network!)
**Instagram lover (let’s help eachother)
**A wannabe! AKA Anyone who’s curious to learn more about what I can teach you (let me help you adopt this lifestyle, ‘cause it’s the bombbbb).Screen Shot 2018-07-22 at 10.38.09 PM.png
K bye. P.S. let's stay in touch!

greetings, nomadgirl

Be very welcome to steemit social network. I've been here since February of this year and I'm really enjoying. I participate here actively every day. Here, we can learn a lot by reading other people's posts about content that interest us and we can post our own content, helping people within our areas of expertise, training our writing, making a kind of "therapy" because, writing helps us to reflect on our knowledge and we will be slightly paid for it. I hope you enjoy.

My main tip is: before you begin to post your content, read the posts by teaching staff how to use this network, about how to write good text, how are the coins sbd, steem and steem power, how to advertise your text using the discord by example, votes issues and other things.

Other than that, we are always available. If you have any questions, go ahead.

Good afternoon!!!! Welcome!!

Thanks for the tips! I love writing and love social media so this seems like a good fit for me :)

Hello Christa

Hello! Thanks for commenting-- I'm super excited to be trying out this new platform. I just posted a video on DTube so curious how that's going to go... check it out! I just followed you :)

Hello nomadgirl! 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!

Good luck on your Steem journey! Follow us if you like to receive more helpful tips and maximize your Steemit experience.

Welcome to Steem Community @nomadgirl! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

In the New Steemians project, we help new members of steem by education and resteeeming their articles. Get your articles resteemed too for maximum exposure. You can learn more about it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gaman/new-steemians-project-launch

So happy to hear that! Just followed you back on Insta ;) Let's help eachother out on this thing-- let me know when you post something. TBH I don't reallyyyy understand this platform as much as I want to but what I do know I think is super exciting and really want to dive in!

I understand you perfectly. I have almost 20 days here and I'm still familiar with everything.
