Welcome to Steemit! This place seems to have a lot of different types of people, viewpoints and ideas which aren't being stomped out or blocked like other parts of the net. I found my way here at the advice of my mom. I live in Colombia with my mom, and husband and son where I write about travel, lifestyle and tourism. Anyways, long story short, we are heavily involved in #BuyLocal and #SupportLocal groups, farmers markets and start-up initiatives where we try to create more of a homesteader mindset through education and awareness. I love what you are doing and I look forward to following your future articles.
