Hello everyone! My name is LeCoi I'm 23, and I'm very excited to be here within the Steem Community.
I was born and raised in Red Lodge, in the vast state of Montana within the USA. Red Lodge was a great little town to grow up in aside from everyone knowing everyone (its hard to keep a private life). Though it is a small town it is placed in one of the most beautiful areas of the State. The town is nestled at the base of Yellowstone National Park, and also home to the gateway entrance to the park The Beartooth Pass (my cover photo is halfway up The Beartooth Pass). Because of the mountainous region it is also quite the hotspot for casual day hikers, and deep woods backpackers alike.

Theirs also the Red Lodge Ski Mountain that is only a 5 mile drive from the town. It may not be the largest Ski area in Montana, but when the snow is good it is certainly one of the best mountains to Ski or Snowboard on. A little disclaimer to add is that this is not an easy ski mountain, it consists mainly of black and double black diamonds. Don't let the disclaimer discourage you though! Red Lodge Mountain is a very family friendly mountain for beginners to experienced skiers and snowboarders. I learned to Ski and Snowboard on the Mountain and I'm not very coordinated!

Growing up I had some pretty rad parents who like to go hiking, camping, and vacationing to fun places. My parents are definitely the reason I began a love affair with travel. The first country my parents took me to was Canada. Canada might not have been the craziest country to go to but it was a great starter country especially since at the time I was quite young. From then on their was no stopping me! From Central America to Europe to Asia I have been and continue to explore new places and take phots along the way.

I started taking photos when I was about 12. I was no prodigy thats for sure, but I certainly liked taking photos. So I continued to take photos from then on of everything that I loved, found interesting, my friends, food... you name it and I had a photo of it. Taking photos became my number one hobby. I loved that a photo could capture a moment in time, and allow me to hold onto it forever. Soon I found myself taking photos of my friends more then anything else. If you need a fun photo of yourself I'm happy to take one!

Now that everyone knows a little about where I'm from and myself I can't wait to keep sharing on the Steem platform for everyone! From my photos to my travels I hope to share and inspire as many of you as I can as well as learning a bit more about crypto currency, and what all other Steem members have to share.
Thank you for the opportunity Steemit!
