Hello world!...
...Is what I would have my computer print out if this was a programming class. But this is a blog post!
I guess what i'm trying to say is that I don't have much experience in writing or blogging, so let me tell you a bit about myself, before I can explain why I'm doing this in the first place.
WHO AM I?
My name is Branko, and I am 21 years old. I was born in a beautiful small country called Slovenia and have lived here all my life. I am currently a third year engineering student at the faculty of mechanical engineering in Ljubljana, our capital city. I have a large number of hobbies, which include film making, editing, photography, travelling, sports, fitness, martial arts, free diving, playing electric guitar, composing music,...
All kinds of activities that can stimulate my brain and provide a creative outlet.
I also want to remember a moment 3 years ago, when I met my better half, my girlfriend Taja. She has been a great source of inspiration and motivation for me through these years. And I am mentioning her now, because she plays a key role in this blogging experiment, as most of the blog posts will revolve around our joint experiences.
WHY STEEMIT?
I chose steemit for the platform for my blog, because I love the idea of a decentralised social media site based on the blockchain which is managed by people themselves using the power of steem. Its like a natural selection of sorts, good content gets promoted, bad content falls short. I also very much dislike what facebook and youtube are becoming. I hate the way politics and governments are infiltrating and regulating content on mainstream social media platforms, which is why I want to create content somewhere else, and steemit gives me a perfect opportunity to do that.
+ there is the added bonus of making a couple bucks here and there, which is more then I would be getting anywhere else. :)
WHY BLOGGING?
Blogging for me represents a way of sharing my experiences, interests and hobbies with people who are interested in similar things, while practising my writings skills. My goal is to connect with peers in hopes of learning, growing, and helping to improve each other.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
All kinds of blogs from the aforementioned hobbies, but mainly I want to write blogs about travelling that me and my girlfriend have done and will do in the future. I will also try to accompany my blogs with videos, so you can not only read about our travels, but also see them.
I hope anyone can give me a follow or at least a like, and if you're doing anything similar I can follow you back. Feel free to drop your acc name in the comments.
Greetings from Slovenia,
Branko
