Hi I’m Ivan, I’m 41 and I live in Turin, Italy.
I found out few about this community days ago from a friend of mine, 
Talking a little about myself...
(
I’m self-employed, I worked for 12 years as a graphic in advertising and in the last 5 years I decided to give a radical change to my life so, I resigned from my old job and started to work using experience and skills gained from my very first hobby (the IT), I expanded my field of work and started to work as sysadmin since I was more than qualified after years of experiences since year after year I raised up the network of my old work. So, basically right now I use my set of skills and experience to analyse my client situation and recommend the “way-to-take” or “that’s how you fix it” and I’m also capable of start a new project from the scratch till putting into service.
Since my hobby became practically my work, I had to make new hobbies! Yay!
I became interested in photography, I prefer fashion and glamour styles, I like portraits in studio or outdoor and I like the “post production phase” with Photoshop or Lightroom, since it’s what I did for a lot of years…
Whenever I can, I like to travel, especially outside my country and most of all to go and see places with a very different kind of culture from mine (Italian, wester-like) so basically I was always very fond of asian cultures like japanese (I even started to learn their language few years ago) and chinese. Few years ago I visited Hong Kong and especially Taiwan since I was there for work and so I decided to see this beautiful Island for a couple of weeks and… I was amazed! I liked it very much, I liked to be a stranger among them and the way some of them were curious about this Italian guy among them. Next stop will be Tokyo and I’m pretty sure that I will write here everything!
Tales from the Crypto… guess no one used it before right? ;)
My relationship with the cryptocurrency started around 4 years ago, I became interested especially about the Litecoin, long in short my interest dissipated in few months to be honest I didn’t see the potential there especially after the claim that you could read everywhere. Lately I started to get my interest again in a new optimistic way when I found out about cryptos like Ethereum, Dash and Monero, and since I believe that the future is there I decided to focus on them. I’m amazed in every new smart projects and Steemit, to me is, potentially mind-blowing because it can help the community grows without loosing the very essence of what a community is and should be.
My idea is to help people with the knowledge, experience and tips that I can share to help people, I’ll share and get the help I could need from everyone else
Thanks for the time you spent listening to me.
stay well everybody! see ya!
