A Lost Traveler Finds His Way to Steemit - My Introduction

avatar
(Edited)

Hey guys and gals,

As my username suggests, my name is Jon. I'm currently living in North Carolina, but I’ve been fortunate to travel and live in other areas in the US and abroad. Despite all my traveling, I absolutely love eastern North Carolina and hope to call it home for many years to come.

I hope to even write about North Carolina here on Steemit.

I’m teacher, writer, editor, and business owner, among other things. Happily married to a beautiful wife, as seen in all my pictures.

Although life has been difficult at times, I’ve been able to carve my own path in life, earning a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies and a master’s degree in English.

I used those degrees to help me travel abroad, teaching English in Thailand. While there, I also traveled to Vietnam, Laos, China and Japan.

I hope to get a lot out of Steem. Over the past year, I’ve been able to establish myself on the Scorum Sports blockchain platform. It’s been an absolute thrill posting and getting to know people on Scorum from all over the world.

Taking what I learned from Scorum, I hope to apply it here, although I’m learning quickly that both sites are vastly different.

I have lots of passions, and I hope Steem gives me the opportunity to write about and connect with people who share those passions.

My plan is to continue to post Sports content on Scorum and share them on SportsTalkSocial. As for Steemit proper, I hope to be able to branch outside of sports and cover a wider variety of topics.

Some of those topics I’m interested in writing about here include traveling, photography, literature, creative writing, sci-fi, paranormal, UFOs, the phenomenon, ancient history and more.

Yes, that’s right, I’m a total junkie for anything alien, paranormal or ufo related. For the sake of brevity, I won’t go into my deep and passionate love for aforementioned topics—that will be a post for another day—but I will say you should expect a lot of fun content from me covering a wide array of different subjects.

I'll leave it here for now. I'm looking forward to getting to know lots of you and establishing myself on Steemit. Here's to a bright blockchain future.

Next to Steemify I use Appics and Partiko to post.

Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!

It will be great to get your perspectives of our diverse and growing communities and tribes! Steem definitely has some great potential as it finds its way to remain relevant and adopting to a social community.

Welcome to Steem! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! In addition, I have published a post that provides great references to assist you in your journey.

Welcome to the Steemit community @jon.bonomo!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for here and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions and steemconnect,
  3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit,
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
  7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!
