in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello new world, hello steemers, hello new friends!

My name is Laura and I am so, SO new to all of this! Is it me, or is it kind of scary to write your first post?! Okay be honest and tell me; How many times have you changed your first line?! My gosshh... well I changed it more then twice! ;)

I'm currently living in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) where I am a newbie as well! I just came back from one and a half year working and living abroad on a beautifull island; Bonaire. If you are into snorkling and/or diving then this is absolutely worth a visit, or two.. or three! Where do you live? Who loves to travel too?!

With beautiful memories in our bags we (my partner, my pomeranian dog and my orange cat) decided to go back to the Netherlands. As an artist I need to get inspiration every day to keep on creating. Things like; fashion, people, magazines, artmuseum, visiting galleries, living in a city, architecture etc. Living on an island made me feel free but at the same time it also blocked my creatingflow. Why? This probably sounds silly but I couldn't get inspiration out of palmtrees, white beaches and sun allday! Yeah, I know it wasn't what I was expecting neither ;) I thought it WOULD inspire me, but the opposite happend..

Well the good news is that since I'm in a new environment I started to create art again! And why not share it with others?! why not share it with new friends, yes I guess you know what is comming next.. Why not share it with you my lovely new steemit friend who made it till the end of my first post! :D

We can all make this network so great, just we need to be together and create, create and create!

Happy Steeming!

Thanks I've been looking for something like this... I'm a newbie and trying to navigate my way around, to learn and understand the new lingo is challenging!

Good luck!! :)

Thanks, they were great... I still need more though!! I'm finding steemstats really useful! Thank you so much for sharing.

Hey Laura! I have to admit I'm in awe for someone to move abroad to pursue their dreams and it's very admirable. Never easy and at times, terrifying. I'd love to check out your art and will be following you :) Keep posting and I'll be waiting for your art pieces! Rock on.

P.S. If you do have the time, do check out my blog and see if it's what you like too. Best of luck Laura!

Thanks same for you @theoutcome. Nice quotes on your page!
