Hello fellow Steemians and to all those who reside in the far and distant realms of the Steemit universe.
I am SO grateful to be a part of such an incredible community.
After having spent weeks researching and learning about steem and coming across and playing a game called Steem Monsters {Incredible btw! side note below} I then decided to dive in to making a blog and posting on Steemit mostly because I think my lifestyle can help greatly inspire others to live a life like myself.
I use to make an above average wage... had a super secure job posistion and senior title since new at the company and could EASILY have stayed for an 'exciting' lifestyle with a fancy house, expensive trucks and cars, the latest gadgets and honestly anything I could ever need or want that money could buy.
Go watch the movie 'In to the Wild' and understand the feeling I feel inside.. Needing to just... Go.. Explore.. Be.
This is my world Welcome EVERYONE is welcome to join my journey. I hope to inspire you all.
LOVE to ALL,
The Turtle. 
This was my view last week, SO much Love to this place as well, ICELAND!!! I will share some posts and info soon for everyone, so stay tuned!!
Ok... One last teaser photo I suppose -_-
p.s. I will post a seperate blog on steem monsters so follow to be sure not to miss it or travel posts!
Hi @thetravelturtle from a fellow newbie!
I admire you for taking the road less traveled, career-wise. Iceland looks amazing. I hope to visit the place soon. Hey, is it your first Christmas there? How do they celebrate the season?
Cheers.

Thank you so muchhhh brittandjosie but, to be honest no I dont know what what a witness is or how to vote for the witness :/
Well the witnesses produce the blocks that are needed to blog on the blockchain, so they are needed. You got 30 votes to cast but maybe start out blogging and joining a server , and than see this . If you think its to difficult set a proxy and a witness will cast the votes for you.
Let me know if you need more info
