Wow 1 year has passed so fast!!! - Happy first anniversary to myself! 🥂🎊

I am back!! sorry guys for being absent this month! - As I am one year old on steemit, I went travelling for one month to reward myself.

@anniversary remembered me one month ago that I am already 1 year old on this platform!! On the 19 of April 2017 I decided to sign up for Steemit after meeting @luzcypher while I was working at the bar of Hostel Rio, a small hostel in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

@luzcypher has been all over his project #openmic , that at this time was still small enough to play all the entries at the bar and help him choose some winners ;)

Since then a lot of things happened! I went travelling for 5 month, moved to Paris to learn french and met a lot of really cool, interesting and lovely steemians on my way - joining several MeetUps in Munich, Mexico and Vienna.

On my way I presented many more people to this platform like: @maxi-hopkins @anamena92 @peter2017 @anomadsoul @manncpt @jnmarteau @dianatrejo etc.

I know I am not one of the big ones here like @ned @donkeypong @acidyo @cervantes and many others, and many of them don´t even know me :D Like everybody on this platform I had ups and downs and I had to learn a lot so in the end I think the most important thing is that you like being here.

Guys, dont have expectations of payouts, getting followers etc.!!! You should write because you like it!! you should do good content and see everything else as a BIG PLUS!

As you can imagine it is not always easy to travel and blog at the same time!! - I started blogging while working at the bar at hostel Rio in Playa del Carmen and went on doing it doing my travels in trains, hostels and restaurants.

It´s not always easy to come back after some time without internet. My computer broke twice too and one of my cameras was stolen...

but I am proud to be still here!! And as @anniversary told me on my birthday: I am 1 Person together with 12 others still alive out of 182 that started at the same day!!!

For me it is the great community and especially people like @freiheit50 @luzypher @mammasitta @uwelang @twinner @reconnectnature @homeartpictures @lenatramper and @alexvan (and many others) that always make me come back out of curiosity to see what great work they did posting and also making the community grow.

I am glad that after 1 year all of you guys got myself in a position to help others too!! - Currently I am trying to support as much newbies as possible at the two contests that @uwelang kindly delegated to me: BeachWednesday and SunThursday

I was also able to delegate some of my power to the @globalschool project and @opt2o in vienna.

So with this post I am officially back and looking forward to tell you about my new travels in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina!

I know.. thats a lot to post about and I promise that it is a lot of great content!! If you like nature, hiking, diving, beaches, jungle, skydive, volcanos, deserts, glaciars, paragliding, waterfalls.......You will love it!!!

This time I´ll try to tell my stories faster and once I get my new computer It will be easier for me to post!

I can´t wait to tell you about it so stay tuned!!!

Cheers,
Liz

PS: Thanks a lot again for your great support in this year guys! You make me wanna travel more and tell about it! I love to be part of this community.
