Introduce Yourself
Greetings lovely humans, fellow Steemians, wanderers and seekers, butchers and bakers and candlestick makers!
I'm so happy to finally join your ranks. My name is Pelin and I live in Istanbul where it's finally a bit chilly this morning.
This site is going to about life in Istanbul, a crazy, historic city filled with mosques and pigeons, highrises and freight ships, 
street vendors and stray cat families,
clothes drying on balconies and ancient towers built by past civilizations:
I love this city and I love being alive in the great universe. So this site will also be a place to share fascinating research I come across regarding the mystery of our existence, and observations about how things that may seem so disparate --like seashells and galaxies-- can well be connected. And you may find some songs here as well!
Besides being a poet I'm also a translator and an English teacher. So I love words. And I love languages! There will certainly be musings about the intersections between languages because I live in a trilingual household with my husband and 7-year old son Yunus. French, English and Turkish are all spoken interchangeably in our house, since my husband is French-Turkish and I'm Turkish-American . Here is a picture of the three of us (on the left) with my mom and brother on the right!
So thank you for dropping in, and I am very happy to join your community. Please don't hesitate to write me comments--that is what makes this endeavor come alive. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us here!
love,
Pelin Ariner Celebi

Welcome :)!
Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?
Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.

hello @ticktock and welcome. I've only been here a couple of weeks but I agree on how addictive the site is.
One place to go that is super helpful, if you haven't found it yet already, is the PAL network.
