Hello Steemit!
My name is Rebeca.
I joined Steemit about a month back and now it’s time I introduced myself to this community!
I Want to share some stories of my life here on steemit with you all.
I was born and raised in a small village on the Ukrainian border.
A beautiful place where to grow children and live peacefully.
Yes, there are no skyscrapers and metros, shopping malls however: tranquility, organic food, genuine people, no smog and no traffic.
As a kid I loved doing endless walks along with my brother. We woke up at dawn, we took our backpack, something to eat and we started the long way to the woods, virgin woods, almost enchanted, wild where evil and human STUPIDITY had not yet been able to penetrate. It was true science lessons. We were looking for peanuts, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, and it did not matter if they did their legs bad, even if we were stinging on mosquitos, we were happier than ever. Far from mobile phones, internet, expensive toys, and dressed at the last cry. Joyful times filled with surprises that are now invented.
After years I can say with certainty that they were THE MOST BEAUTIFUL in my life.
Growing up, I was thinking more and more about the fact that I wanted to find new, distant places.
I admit that I had fear because nothing is certain and nobody ensure you that where you go, you will be welcomed and you will feel good as at home... but if you are an adventurer you can not do without it.
As a Russian old saying says, "It is better to be sorry because it happened, rather than to feel sorry because it never happened."
And that's why I made the same choice Bilbo Baggins made one day: I decided to start "my Unexpected Journey", the biggest journey of my life, I left my house to live in Italy! So the journey began when I was just 20 years old and it took me away from home and that still continues till today, 9 years.
And who could ever expect all this?
There were moments of displeasure and sorrow, misunderstanding, fatigue, and tiredness, but as after a rainfallo appears the rainbow after all these bad moments I became stronger than I was before.
Years have passed, I have learned the traditions, I have studied the language, I can even cook and quite good, at least they say so, but I never forget who I am and which are my origins.
I would like to make known stories from my land, to speak about its customs, its kitchen, its beauty.
On my blog you will not find reviews of technological gadgets, technical disquisites, but I will speak about many different things.
I hope you may be interested in my culture as I'm passionate of different cultures of the world. I hope you will follow me and give me a feedback about my posts, it would be great!
Ok, now it's late, Bye Steemit!
With love from Rebeca.
