Hello World!

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

A friend and I have been following the crypto-craze for a little while now and he recently turned me on to Steemit. After looking it over I figured why not give it a try?

I was born and raised on the island of Oahu in the beautiful state of Hawaii. I still live here and honestly can't see living anywhere else. That isn't to say that I have no desire to travel, I do, but Hawaii is and always will be home. From my cursory browsing of Steemit I don't see a lot of Hawaii content, so maybe that is a gap I can fill until more folks from here join.

I make a living solving other peoples IT problems, and I'm quite good at it. Problem-solving is one of my primary skill sets and technology is secondary, in my line of work I actually feel like that's how it should be. You can teach a person the technology more easily than you can teach a person good problem-solving skills. This might be another area I can write about as I come across issues in my everyday work that I feel others might benefit from. Maybe I can even take requests from other Steemit users about their issues and ways they can address them.

I'm excited about embarking on this journey and looking forward to being part of the community. I welcome any questions you folks may have and even suggestions on content you would like to see. Drop me a line anytime.

Nice Post! Just liked yours I also made an introducemyself please check it out and like it!

Thanks! I checked out your intro and laughed when you mentioned stealing your parent's credit card to buy cryptocurrency. I would never have dreamed of pulling that with my parents. Glad you took the initiative to start making your own money after that and didn't just give up.

Welcome to steemit man, you will surely enjoy the platform to share your wonderful experience!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.

Hello shardinite, welcome! Wish you all the best for Steemit!

I have two questions, as I have never talked to somebody from Hawaii before.
1: Is the feeling kind of strange that you are so far away from any other country or do you get used to it?

2: How many percent of the people go surfing? :D

Post a few more pictures of your island in the future if you have any :)

Hey lichtcatchoby,

Since I was born and raised here it's normal to me and doesn't feel strange at all. The extra cost of living to have many of our goods shipped in and the fact that it's expensive to travel anywhere is basically part of life. I'm aware of the distance, but it doesn't bother me much.

As for a percentage of how many people surf I'm not sure I can give you an accurate number on that, haha. It is quite common though and there are a lot of people who surf, many who aren't even from Hawaii and just came here for that reason.

I will certainly be adding more pictures in future posts so follow me ;)
