The Back Story
Those those who follow me here know that I absolutely adore London. I lived there for a while and then was forced to leave... I left but at the same time I left my heart there... and I was determined to come back to it.
While I was away and was trying to figure out what to do with the future... when I was lost and down... when I had no clue about what to do next I started posting here on Steemit.
The Fall
The magic fall started when I interviewed 
I ended up in a new dimension... completely new mindset... completely different logic ... among many amazing people on the platform who are determined to keep this as a safe place where only high quality content gets appreciated.
Accidental Crypto Holder
As a result I ended up getting upvotes... and Steem... and Steem Dollars... My wallet cumulated number and I had no clue what to do...
I was so clueless that the very first transaction I initiated was a complete disaster. I sent all my Steem dollars to Bittrex and left the memo space empty.
Yup...
The amount vanished... it left my wallet and never got anywhere...
I freaked out once I realized what just happened. Thankfully Bittrex sent it back to my wallet... but before it did I thought that my shortly lived crypto holder history was over.
The Fall Continued...
I kept falling down the rabbit hole and educating myself. I read books, watched videos, interviewed people in the space, spoke to the community... and with each coming day it became clearer.
I dug deeper and ended up knowing what is an ICO, a smart contract and a blockchain.
I was a newbie who did not feel like a newbie anymore.
The Search
I was still on a mission of going back to my heart... and it seems like I had already overcome half of the challenge. Now all I needed was a job...
Ideally a job that did not feel like a job... something that was exciting, with purpose, dynamic, creative, impressive... in short something that is not easy to find.
I read vacancy announcement after a vacancy announcement and felt "duh!". Going back to corporate after leaving it years back did not feel good at all...
So I started looking at startups...
Guess what?
Now I am in London and I am part of a very exciting fintech startup (you can read our story here) ... and guess what?
Now, joining up the dots backwards I realized that few months back if I had not become part of Steemit... if I had not fallen down the rabbit hole... probably I would not be here getting back my heart!
