Hidden Gems no.6

I have accepted a mission: to explore strange new blogs, to seek out new posts and new minnows, to boldly go where no Steemian has gone before! yes, I'm a geek...
The Mission
I will be trawling through this very platform hunting out those hidden gems, the undiscovered countries of newly arrived promising authors, freshly spawned minnows if you like. I wish to put a spotlight on those I think are deserving of a much wider audience.
I have decided to write these posts Monday to Friday, so expect 5 per week.
@livingdreams hails from Switzerland and has only been with us a few days.

She has impressed me with her writing and is one to watch out for, give her a follow.
@stormriderstudio is a fellow countryman of mine, also from the UK.
He always puts a smile on my face with his daily blog in which he takes a humorous look at his daily events.
@saurabhgupta is a software developer from India.

His posts are mostly tech oriented but he also delves into travel and a little personal growth.
@kryptokayden has been on Steemit for 2-3 weeks and is from the U.S

Her post reflecting on the effect porn has on modern society was an interesting and well written piece. Recommended.
My final selection for today is @iddm1dm - a corporate teacher from the U.S.A.

@iddm1dm's posts are always top drawer but this one was very poignant. You see discussed the modern phenomenon of being more interconnected worldwide via the web whilst also being lonely and disconnected to those nearest to us. A powerful read.
Please check out their blogs and, if you agree with me, give them a follow. I am sure they will appreciate it and your feed will be filled with more great work in the future.
Do you know of any undiscovered gems worthy of sharing? An artist, writer, blogger or singer/performer who could benefit from appearing in these regular posts? Drop me a message in Steemit chat with a link to their work and I will consider them for future inclusion.
I have also begun a #steemgig where I will pay you 5 SBD for every post submitted by you that I feature on these posts.
See below for details.

Special Mention
If you are on the lookout for more established Steemians you can do no better than visiting @cem and his regular Who to Follow Daily (WTF!). He first regales you with a humorous look at his day then presents you with a list of THE accounts to follow on Steemit.
