Hi guys!
I've been writing posts on Steemit for a few months now and I'm very happy to get more positive feedback on every new post! Thank you all for that! When I first started writing on here I didn't really know how everything worked and I'm still learning everyday. I started on Steemit like most people with a #introduceyourself post. Because my post was pretty short and I didn't really introduce myself, I want to tell you guys something more about myself.
Who am I?
So my name is Marleen, i'm 24 years old and I live in the Netherlands in a pretty town called Amersfoort together with my boyfriend and my cat. I grew up in a small village not far from here and moved out my parents house around 4 years ago. I studied News and Media which is pretty much the same as Journalism.
After my studies i went to Asia for a few months to take some time off. When i returned I went looking for a job. But because it's not that easy to find a job as a journalist, and i also didn't really know what to do with my life I've been working as a waitress and in an alarm room for parking garages since i graduated. I also work as a volunteer at the moment. Once a week I go to a family not far from me to read to a little boy and girl. They flee from Iran a few years ago and reading books to them helps them to catch up on their language deficits.

They are raised bilingual and reading books to them helps them to catch up on their language deficits.
My contents and hobbies.
At the moment i'm trying to figure out what i want to do with my life and in the meantime i'm just living it I guess. I really love to go new places. Not only far away but also in my own country. Sometimes you discover the most beautiful places not that far from home. Besides traveling i really like eating and
making food. I'm a vegetarian and some days i'm a vegan. I like to try new recipes and new kinds of food. I'm also a big fruit addict and you can really wake me up for any kind of fruit! Besides that i like looking at pretty houses and interiours, looking up and making DIY projects, animals, a good glass of beer, sustainable stuff/clothes and going to the gym. Okay.. I need to drag myself out of the house for that last one, but it has to be done right ;-)
Thanks for reading and i really hope you enjoy the rest of my posts!
Lots of love,
Marleen
