Dear future friends of Steemit,

I have just landed on this very special network and I am looking forward to meeting some great people that I can share all my interests with, while we empower each other. ![IMG_20160909_201708.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdKvQpZHoJ22Ljxise2z4mm5afFcdd1zwivsDJsHp6Cpk/IMG_20160909_201708.jpg) I have been investing plenty of time recently to get to know the platform better by just browsing personal and technological posts and I am amazed on how the purpose of using Steemit changes through time and how time spent on Steemit changes us. I observed that some come here for financial profits and end up with creating a world where anyone can freely express their opinions and interests. This is what I want to achieve in here! ![IMG_20170726_130845_716.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVNffqusfNx6NpC2qbZ1L3E5ie7UqiLUKoZmfqZSgWRzR/IMG_20170726_130845_716.jpg) A friend who got me addicted, gave me only ONE advice: BE YOURSELF, OR OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET BORED AND QUIT. I must say I have some pretty smart friends ☺. Just a little overview about myself: ![IMG_20170813_121813_161.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQR6oarTAQMy9Z638FHMQ9MemMm8Sv6P4S3wApjv3zT5L/IMG_20170813_121813_161.jpg) I love plants, photography and I recharge my batteries through hiking in wild nature. I also love to help stray animals and in Albania we have plenty. ![IMG_20160626_185533.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX2bEwqjNtQXVauaaH9sSxwyptzwZM1J9C6atmWd9ssv5/IMG_20160626_185533.jpg) This is me doing one of my favourite things: Cuddling cats and sharing love! Well... this is from when I was still a cat lady. A year ago I adopted the most prescious lady you could find out there. NOVA is her name: ![IMG_20161019_152746.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS3orm1ktugDPXeSAN19AHV92DsDcmXh7rsuUwB7esNw6/IMG_20161019_152746.jpg) Nova was found beaten up with dead babies in her belly and was rescued by a stray animal organization. At first, she was so afraid that for two months straight she just stayed under my bed. It breaks anyone's heart to see a living being in that kind of mindset. She was afraid of being cuddled and kissed, too. ![IMG_20160715_144823.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRvp1C5ra6qFABryrxvX4LxM4szZSkEZPqMJpufjHUYt6/IMG_20160715_144823.jpg) Only two weeks after adoption... pretty stressed! ![IMG_20160720_203707.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmemmsTPSzrzQKjVmcbdV7Qi2s8yWSV2d6N7uwvJ8zR1vp/IMG_20160720_203707.jpg) But, now she is doing much better ☺ ![IMG_20161224_131612_901.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSJMoVfDS7uHgqzq7brVjgwAcm3JQEmpx8vJSiwgqiydL/IMG_20161224_131612_901.jpg) In my posts you will find some nice photography of places you haven't seen yet, nature you would like to explore and of course some personal thoughts on different topics I like to spend my time thinking off! Just a little preview :) ![IMG_20170618_204736_548.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSuF1fxPutfh2WBymVBzaAT69MwTPyZTYBLRNmxZm664J/IMG_20170618_204736_548.jpg) Preparing the fire spot while camping by the beach :) ![IMG_20170303_150100_368.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgatughZ1ERKKccEAATWtbpDhmXhzCfgQt2QRsVPeFwP/IMG_20170303_150100_368.jpg) Exploring some animal footprints in Torino di Sangro, Italy ![IMG_20161002_222909.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSraeu12WcZE6JfDSw5cdN7e18DXekFSnbAcMW4NQ6MKn/IMG_20161002_222909.jpg) Hiking in Albanian mountains Last but not least, the thing I believe the most is human relations. I cannot bare to live without creating personal contacts with those I meet. It is essential to make me move forward and enjoy this short life in this amazing and wonderful planet. ![IMG_20160325_105820.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU3QapjUk8NPZ1qEjoLeNcwv4pi5HNeRVbfSz8CSPo14p/IMG_20160325_105820.jpg) And this was it for my #introduceyourself post. Keep on exploring :)
