Ok, to be honest i don't know where to start, so let me introduce myself first

I'm 22 y.o from Indonesia taking bachelor degree of marketing management. Now I'm at third year, and starting to do my thesis. So for the next 6 month, I'll be working my thesis, and nothing else. Well, maybe a little business.

Ok, now here's the point :

My Condition :

  1. Have spare time
  2. Worried that my passion to traveling dropped when i graduate and start working
  3. Planning to start using Instagram (since all my friend use it)

My Request :

  1. Can i get a photo of your neighborhood, to be posted on my Instagram account. It doesn't need to be professional photo quality. What i need from your photo is to make me imagine living at your place. (view that you think common because you see it everyday, can inspire others)

Rules :

  1. If you willing to give me photo, please also tell me the location of the place, your Instagram account or say "add me" if you don't want to share your account in public.
  2. WHY? Cebause i need to mention your account as the photographer, i will not take credit of your photo. I also want to chat with you through Instagram direct message to hear your story about your place, and want you to leave comment at your photo that i posted.
  3. WHY? because what i want from this project(?), is to have some "BOND" with the photo. I want to know that the person who take the picture is really alive. I want to have conversation with the person who take the photo. That "BOND" is the point that differentiate your photo, and photo from Google

What can you do? :

  1. Kindly give me photo, and follow the rules :)
  2. It is no problem at all if you are not following the rules, and just want to share photo of your neighborhood to fellow SteamGifters. But i can't posted it on my account, cause of credit reason.
  3. Bump :p

What you, and other SteamGifters get? :

  1. The feeling of helping and sharing something to person that lives on the other side of the world
  2. Making friend (at least with me), and any oppotunities that could happen (maybe your soulmate is my friend, or maybe job that you want will come :p)
  3. Gallery of neighborhood of SteamGifters around the world in this discussions.
  4. Maybe this will make some spark of SteamGifters Meet-up (?)

Why Steamgifts?

  1. Cebause SteamGifters Selfie and Best Photo amaze me and show me that SteamGifters come from many place and culture.
  2. Cebause this forum is one of the best and healthiest forum that i found. People of Sg are kind, humble, open minded, and giving respect to another person.

In case you don't want to upload it, you can send me the photo and other data via email to : velzing2222@gmail.com

My Instagram: This (will add photo starting next week maybe?)

Here's the giveaway :
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/2U62m/rampage-knights

Here's MY picture to assure you that I am real person, and the example of photo you can get for me :


(Yes, my name is Aga)

Nice idea, unfortunately I have no Instagram and my only tool is my cheap phone which is not very good. I wish you all the best on this project though, and would your Instagram be public? I would love to see the photos and read other Steamgifters's stories too.

My neighborhood isn't very inspiring, but I'll take it as a mini-project to come up with something. I'm up for the challenge :-)

BTW, if you like travelling, you're so lucky to live in Indonesia. So many amazing places to see. I was supposed to go to Bali a couple of years ago (for work, no less) but couldn't get a visa. Probably the biggest disappointment I had in recent years. I already planned to extend my stay by 2 weeks, but to no avail. No amount of string pulling could make this happen. I'm Israeli, if I didn't mention it. We can get a visa if it's part of an organized trip with a group, but apparently not as an individual.

maybe what you mean is "live"?
Yup, Indonesia really made by God for traveling, i myself go to Bali each year to hangout. I'll tell you a secret, foreigners tend to think only about Bali as destination in Indonesia, but imo all other city are as good as Bali, the difference is just that Bali have good foreigners-friendly infrastructure
Im waiting for your photo, and believe me, your photo will be inspiring :D

Yeap, live of course. Corrected :-)

My plan was actually to spend more time in Borneo than in Bali. It's just that work (if you can call it that) involved an event in Bali. This is all moot now, as I didn't get to go. Hopefully it'll be easier for me to get a visa in the future.

Until I take a picture from my neighborhood, I attach one I took a couple of weeks in a different place in Israel. It's called HaMinsara, in Ramon crater. Enjoy!

And another one, from a few months ago, taken on a hill called Tel Gerisa which is 10 minutes away from here. The smoke is from early Lag BaOmer bonfires.

Welcome to Azores, São Miguel, the photo was taken on Sete Cidades.
I just realized how beautiful this picture was today, I must be really lucky to live here.

I really don't want to talk, sorry nothing personal, I just don't have the time to do so, i rarely visit steamgifts and rarely use steam anymore
:(
But you can reply to me and i'll try to answer you.

You're 14 hours ahead of me, so I doubt we would talk much. But I'm willing to send some pics. It's @frinpollog on IG and you can add me on Steam too if you want.

I don't take too many pics of where I live, but it's pretty nice. Like for instance I took this at the local park early the day after it rained. Most of the time there's smog so this isn't something you see everyday.

The Los Angeles Basin which includes the city of LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica plus many other small cities/districts that make up metro LA. Photo is crappy here but you can see the ocean from this view. Other things to note is the skyline of DTLA and the Hollywood sign (offscreen but luk's google link shows it). I took this around November last year at the observatory.
