Welcome to Steemit; I hope you enjoy your time here!
It may take a little while to get established and get a following, but I think that's pretty much true of all social media. There are a few of us here in the US, I'm clear across the country in Western Washington.
Hello! I've read a few of your posts and have enjoyed them. I assumed that you were from Denmark because of your username. Oooops. I have been struggling to find posts in English and/or anything that makes sense to me so I am happy to have stumbled on a few people I can connect with. It doesn't help that I am fairly computer illiterate. But I'm so over traditional social media platforms, I had to push myself to try something new. Thanks for reading my post and I'll see you around!

Well, actually you assumed correctly!
I was born in Denmark, and lived there (and around Europe, as well as in East Africa and the Caribbean) until age 20, when I came to the US to go to college and ended up — of all places — in Austin, Texas. Quite a change of scenery, culture and climate!
I ended up on Steemit in early 2017 as a result of growwing utterly disgusted with the "climate" of social media — specifically Facebook — following the 2016 Presidential election; watching long-time friends screaming rudely and violentsly at each other over extreme political views is way outside my wheelhouse...
Wow...Texas. It was a culture shock for me when I visited there and I thought I had prepared myself. I am also here to flee the high school food fight we call politics here in the US. I got sucked into it early on, but now its just all so over the top. The way it makes people behave is not something I want to expose myself to and does nothing to make me a better person nor make me happy.
