Welcome to Steemit! It looks like you will be talking about interesting topics and I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

Why did you go to South Africa at the first place? I do understand that such experience can change your personality. We have so much and we still want to get more while there are people who are happy with bare minimum. It would be nice to read about your experience.

Just a few tips here.. first of all try to post as much as possible and engage with other Steemians. It is important to join a community and to make friends. You can also join some discord groups with similar interests. It's not all about the rewards but the relationships are important too. Have fun, make friends and rewards will eventually come.

I wish you good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing you around! :)
