MY STEEM STORY - by 
Where my Steem Journey began
made me a phone call, in January 2018, to tell me about Steemit. All the information was very dense and complicated. She asked me to have an open mind since it was a platform that paid in cryptocurrency. At that time I knew absolutely nothing about cryptocurrencies, but the idea of being able to write, present artistic works, photography and transmitting my own cultural experiences, encouraged me to apply for the Steemit account. The rewards were important but I had to understand what the platform was about. Actually, I'm very methodical and for me it is essential to understand the spaces in which I develop.
I had and have technological limitations: a computer with programs far behind, internet super slow and often offline, three cameras have robbed me two, so only 1 semi-professional I have left.
Then the journey began in Cumana - Venezuela, where still alive; In 2018, with great enthusiasm, with little money in my bank account for the precarious university salary and with many technological limitations.

My initial challenges & how I overcame them
The publication in terms of content, narrative and language was good but it was a disaster in terms of the use of images. The surprise is that this publication was voted by 
After this great start I completely lost internet access. At the same time, a multidisciplinary group called #EquipoCardumen was being formed in Cumana and I was included. However, not having internet or smartphone I started surfing alone and slowly Steemit. They were very difficult times! Almost a year without growing, without understanding, publishing very little and without interacting with other users.
I didn't publish but read a lot. For reasons of economic precariousness I withdrew all the rewards. So I was left with low reputation and low voting power. To participate in a contest I had to post one day and then wait the next day to place my post in the contest comments. I always ran out of resources.
I decided to start again! And I invested in myself, there everything changed because I could interact with other users and I began to grow. Nobody told me how to do it but the readings allowed me to learn.

My Steem blockchain knowledge
In Steemit there are many users who explain this process and although it’s a very interesting topic are a technical language and complicated, I am willing to keep learning.

My Steem favorites
but your options changed and uploading videos becomes easier on youtube. I also ventured into 
with photographs and it went very well but then I had some technical difficulties and slowed the pace of publications. Finally, I discovered travelfeed.io and SteemPeak and I keep these spaces because they are very dynamic and have many advantages over other front-end.

My Steem hood & its peeps

As for
In discord I constantly review @Curie, @Adsactly, @VotoVzla, @Cervantes, @Mayvileros, @TeamMexicoPro, @Templo, @VotoMasivo and @C-Squared.
As for communities or hives, I have subscribed to several of them but obviously I cannot be active at all. I will not clone myself! hahaha. I want to do is have the chance to meet users to exchange ideas on certain topics or common interests.
There are some people that I would like to mention because they have been part of my growth and I’m sure they will be for those who need it: 
Honestly, I follow many users for their creativity, dynamism and super positive attitude. Explaining their qualities would make this publication endless so I will only mention them and thank you, from here, for your support and accompaniment on multiple occasions: 
This count looks like a confessional, hahahaha. I hope you came here and enjoyed my personal story on Steemit.
Before finalizing a note for new Steemit users: please read, comment, ask, never be discouraged and even if you do not believe it, do not think about money, think about your publications and do your best ... you will see that you will be well rewarded.
