Hello everyone! I hope everyone is fine and doing good in their life. My name is Arslan Hyder, and I am from Pakistan. I am an **ex-steemit** user (not gonna call myself a **steemian** because now I have become a **hivian**).

I love travelling. I often do intercity travelling and take good clicks as beautiful memories. I do like photography. I also love sketching art and drawing. I love nature and things related to nature like pets birds trees landscapes waterfalls etc.

Recently, I started crypto trading and trying to get familiar with the patterns and charts. For now, I have invested in some coins. But first I will try to learn and understand different patterns and stuff related to crypto.

I do like to share my thoughts about different aspects of life and events surrounding our daily life. And I think I am on the right platform to share my thoughts. There are other social media platforms but the toxicity level is insane. So, not everyone can freely share their views. But the hive community is very positive about an individuals' opinion or point of view and this is one of the reasons that I took the step to join hive blockchain.

Now, I will share my story of joining hive.
I used steemit for like six to eight months. And after that I left the platform for like 4 years due to some personal reasons. But today I switched from steemit to hive blockchain. One of my close friend Asghar Ali (@asgharali) shared with me the idea of switching to hive. And his idea clicked my mind. As I have used a similar platform so I hope it will be a bit easy for me to adjust here. I hope my journey on hive blockchain will be excellent.

The biggest reason that made me to switch platforms is the environment of the hive community. I have heard good things from my friend about this community. The appreciation for good content is much higher on hive blockchain.
It was not a very tough decision for me. I hope that I will easily merge within the hive community. So this was the exact scenario of me switching to hive.
This is my first post on hive.
