Sorry to hear your leaving, there are things you could do to increase your visibility though. I notice you do hiking posts, so do I.., try using some of the travel tags and the curation groups will notice you.

Try travel travelfeed steemitworldmap. use steemitworldmap and place your location on the map and add the link to your post. travelfeed like hike's, but you should add some pictures to them.

Don't use steemit to post. use either busy.org and use the busy tag, or use esteem surfer for your better stuff. In case (1) you will get an upvote, in case (2), you may get a more significant upvote. using steemit to post will yield you nothing.

I'm sure you know some of this already, but I hate to see established people leave. I gave you a big upvote, and not the flag that you said you were expecting.

I was at the same stage as you once, and someone wrote something like this to me, and I stayed. I'm trying to pass on the favour.
