Introduction

[hellionhexed]

Good Morning Steemers,

I've been on the platform lurking like a stalker for quite a while now. I've finally decided it's time to introduce myself and get this thing kicked off.

I'm a 35-year-old woman, currently living in South Africa right on the northeast coast. The area is biodiverse (the people more so) with plenty to see and experience.

So what are you likely to see on my feed? Well, I've just started to post a daily picture as a snapshot to living with a Bull Terrier. They are sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating and other times they will drive you crazy.

You will see videos and photos of adventures and events I get involved in the local area that promote either adrenaline type activities or just outstanding natural beauty. I love exploring the world around me so I will recommend cool places to visit or hang out or things to jump off at the very least.

In the next few months, I intend to add video footage and photographs from dive sites in South Africa.

Essentially you will see anything from garden sharks to great white sharks, art and motorcycles and anything in-between. I even bake things occasionally. I look forward to seeing you all as I slowly but surely build my portfolio promoting the African Continent and beyond as the wonderful place it actually is.

Hello hellionhexed! 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!
