Entry 1: Hey I'm Thea! Travel and Food blogger

Hi I’m Thea! I started this blog mainly to serve as an outlet for my thoughts. I work in the IT industry, sitting in front of my monitor for 9 hours or more depending on how toxic the day is. It can get frustrating at times and stressful but there are days when I just realize that “I am where I am suppose to be”. Do you ever get that feeling?

Some people consider blogging as a tedious task. I, however, see blogging as a reward after a hard day’s work. In this blog, you will mostly read about my travels around the world and in the Philippines where I am based. I consider travelling as an escape and sanctuary.

Consider this, for a period of time, (may it be days, weeks, or months) you get to be another person and live a life you have always wanted. You get to forget your problems and the realities you have to face with back home. Travel has its perils but has its equivalent victories. That’s what makes it interesting for me. Every country I go to is unique and has its own story. More on that in my upcoming blogs.

I will also be writing about food. I used to be a part time food blogger but I stopped since life got in the way. Right now, I plan to continue my passion in writing about food and the restaurants I eat in. I will give you no-holds-bar unbiased opinion (lol) and other helpful information.

This 2018, I also plan to live an active lifestyle. I am currently enrolled in Guavapass, a gym membership but a cooler version since it gives you access to group fitness classes at high-quality fitness studios around Asia. Currently, I am into Circuit training, CrossFit, Yoga, Boxing, and Indoor Cycling. I am still waiting to see the results in my body though. I guess I have to blog about the progress in another post.

Welcome Thea.

One of the beauty of tourism is seeing beautiful places like this. My greatest desire is to be someone who will travel around the world to discover new thing, visit beautiful places, see different culture, taste different food around the world and get to know the recipe for those food.
I am hopeful and believe that soonest I will start living like I have always want to live by seeing a lot of beautiful places around the world

Beautiful words :) We have the exact same goal. Travel is really something else.

Great job!


Happy Steeming!

Hey miss Donna! I'm originally from Manila but I visited Cebu last summer. I swam with the sardines in Moalboal and Canyoneering in Badian. Will make sure to visit again! :)

That sounds good. Hopefully, you will go back to Cebu because there are lots good spots you still need to explore. Anyways, thanks for responding.

welcome to steemit, hopefully success in steemit, and thanks to @supassinggoogle for sharing a very good post.

Welcome to Steemit!

Welcome to Steemit! It's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. The secret to success? Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments.

Tagging is extremely important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general (so long as it's still relevant) to fill the quota if you need to- most of your tags should be established ones, though one or two less used ones are fine.

Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so you should try to post often.

Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.

There are a lot of really good resources out there for minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources to new users:







@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group.) @qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.) @originalworks (Whenever you write an original post, tag this account- they'll verify it's original and upvote you.) @steembasicincome (Another lifetime upvote option.) @steemstem (The biggest and best STEM curation group in the game. If you're interested in writing or reading about science, check these guys out!) @geopolis (A fairly new science curation group, this one's dedicated to the study of the Earth.) @ocd (A curation group that seeks out undervalued new writers.)

And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way there through perseverance and hard work. It takes time, but you'll eventually succeed if you put in the work.

Please feel free to repost this guide on the posts of other minnows you run into!

These tips are very informative and helpful! Thanks for taking time to drop my page :) I'm looking forward to reading more of you blogs.
