Cooking, writing, reading, loving and music... This is me.

[aleman-rafael]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rafael. I'm a 22-year old from Venezuela. I'm hoping you'll follow me on my personal journey on everything that makes this life a gift worth fighting for, as I will be following yours.

I joined Steemit thanks to a friend from college, who shares the same passion for english, cooking, and overall, getting to know people from all across the world. I noticed how inspired she was while describing me what Steemit what all about, and I have to confess: at first, it didn't seem like something real. I felt like she was talking to me about some sort of game or a simple hobby that you would dedicate only if you have plenty of time to spare.

It turned to be completely different, as I've had the opportunity to learn and see for myself that we're entering a community, a place for all of us to share our personal stories and hopefully, grow together. 

I'm a firm believer that we have a duty with ourselves, as humans. Only through love and compassion will we be able to overcome some of the biggest problems that we, as a society, are facing up. 

Whether is through a memory, a thought, a cooking recipe that is very special and personal to us, a simple anecdote, we can all give something nice to this world and make Internet and this new era of communication worthwhile.

So, I hope you don't mind my sensitivity and "cheesiness". I decided to live for myself and put myself before others. That's the only way we'll be able to help each other out. Living in this era means being aware: aware of the problems of the world, aware of the problems of our own community, aware of the problems of our friends and family, and aware of the power we all possess to make a change.

Nice to meet ya!

My grammar might not be at its best, as I'm constantly learning and discovering the wonders of the English language. I will be making posts both in English and Spanish, my native language. Any suggestions, I'll happily take them! Remember, we're all here to learn from each other.

Hey rafael

[aleman-rafael]

Hi there, how's it going?!

[steemsociety]

Hello aleman-rafael! 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!
