Hi everyone!
What an amazing place - it's exciting to be here on Steemit and I look forward to getting to know the community as I bumble my way around here learning the ropes. I swear I'll try not to knock anything over or break stuff, but I can't swear NOT to swear too much... 😉
Aiming to keep it a bit short and sweet for my intro - I'm Mel, an Australian gal (so my greeting really should have been "G'DAY!") and I love travel, music, art, history, animals, social and community causes, entrepreneurship, fun times and family.
I've been playing drums in bands for almost 30 years, definitely still a rock-chick at heart and had a dream come true last year in New 🗽York when I met my drumming idol Tico Torres and Bon Jovi!! 😍 And I didn't even squeal or cry - I was like a real grown up fan-girl! 🎵
Much of my writing will be around my travels, as I've visited 35 countries over the years and have some interesting stories I'd love to share - hopefully they'll offer some helpful tips, cool pics, or at least let people laugh their arses off at my expense!
I'm also passionate about human rights and education, breaking the poverty cycle and preventing human trafficking, especially for women and children...
Slavery is still a massive problem that should NOT exist in the world now. It will be interesting to see how crypto-evolution shapes new economies in future.
If there is anything else you would like to know about me, my travels or other experiences then don't hesitate to ask the question - let it rip Maaaaate!
I will leave you now with a pic of another great love in my life - my furbaby Sem! 💓 Cheers
