Hello comunity! This is my first and introductory post in the steemit platform. First of all I want to thank my friend Shane 
Above is my verification picture that was taken by myself this morning.
Let me say some words about myself. My name is Alex Ulacio, I am 27 years old and I was born and live in the city of Barquisimeto, which is located in Venezuela, a South American country famous for its baseball players and beauty queens.
I have been studying my whole life; at school and by my own. I do not have a university degree despite the fact that I have started two courses: management, a course which ran from 2010 to 2013 and more recently journalism, which I started in 2014 and I am still on it but I have paused.
May be the reason behind of my scholar instability is that my real passion is not taught in colleges. My passion is writing, specifically creative writing. Since 2006 I have written poems, short stories, short plays and three novels! I am still unpublished but soon you will see my books in the libraries (I hope so!)
Hey, did you notice it? I have been writing for ten years already! That’s an impressive goal, considering how lazy I am, lol
By the way, my native language is Spanish but as one my other passions is rock music, which includes bands like The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin and a bunch of classic bands, I had the need to learn English, a language I learned by my own since 2005. In steemit I will write in both languages.
I have also studied other languages like French, German and Japanese but I never mastered them due to my lack of practice, time and a little effort from myself. I admit it.
Other of my passions are sports. In fact, my first income online was writing stories for a sports related website. I also had my own sites but I stopped writing in them to focus on my literary works. My favorite sports are American football, basketball and rugby but the number one for me is baseball, in fact, I wanted to play in Major League Baseball when I was a kid (and may be I still dream of it)
Besides writing and sports I also enjoy to draw and watch animes, and frequently I combine both things to creat stuffs like the ones bellow which I upload to my Instagram.
I enjoy to travel also, my favorite places to visit are mountains, like the Avila Mountain, which is located in Caracas, Venezuela and that I visit once in a while and I do not miss a chance to take pictures, like these:
I also visit the beach, but I am more fond of watching the sea than swimming (I'm not good at swimming actually).
And as you may have guessed, I love the books also! I have small collection but I treat it as my personal treasures and if I have to save one thing from a fire, it definitely will be one of my books.
I think I have pretty much drawn a very good picture of what I am, what I like and what are my passions. This is only my first post and I am sincerely looking forward to explore this community, read other people posts, share my own with the rest of the steemit universe and in the end, have a good time with you all!
Thank you so much for reading and as a goodbye gift, here it is picture from today's sky at my town
