I'm excited to be a member of this amazing community. This is the best thing to happen to the social media, believe me!
To start with, I'm a travel consultant, a father of 3; two boys and a girl. My first son decided to join me in this introduction - we're all steemians :)
I like football (soccer), a cryptocurrency enthusiast, that was how I got to know about Steemit through a post by 
I have made it a mission to personally get at least 5 people to Steemit per week. I mean, who would say no? You basically do the same things you do for free on other social media sites, but the difference is that you get paid for it here. I think it's a great opportunity to do those things we love doing and get paid for doing so, just like the footballers :)
I took some days to study the platform, then bought a few Steem Power by selling my Ripple on Poloniex and purchased Steem Power. While this is not compulsory, I felt it's a way to show my faith in the community and also gain some Power :)
Steemit is here to stay and we are here to enjoy every moment of it.
