This is also my first experience in writing a blog. I learned about writing procedures, markdown, and how to start this journey as a newbie. The first time I searched in the search column, and found @lovesniper who explained that anyone who is just starting out, should make an introduction post. So therefore, I am writing this to start it off. Another thing I found was a post from @newbies-guide and @themarkymark about [101 markdown tutorial](https://peakd.com/steemit/@themarkymark/markdown-101-how-to-make-kick-ass-posts-on-steemit) and then I learned that in the past few days. I'm really excited join this awesome community on Hive! I'm here to start my new journey and to share about whatever I'm passionate about and connect with fellow Travel, Foodies & Cultures enthusiasts in HIVE COMMUNITY. ___ ### **PASSION** **I am very passionate about Cultures, Travel destinations and Foodies❤** > "Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose." _{—Oprah Winfrey} --- #### **TRAVEL ARROUND THE WORLD & FOOD ❤** Here's my all time favorite Travel Destination #### **RAJA AMPAT**
