Hi, I'm Aaron a 29-year-old dreamer who a couple of years ago decided to start chasing dreams instead of watching them fade away. I like to think that I am a natural born explorer and I love to get myself into new challenging situations and meet all kinds of people from different places. I have never really felt lost in the outside world I guess I'm pretty good at adapting to new environments and situations and the search for fulfillment has taken me far and wide. Over the past few months I have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride in life and on steemit, around 4 months ago I decided to make a huge sacrifice and leave a good comfortable job teaching English in China and I also left behind my amazing girlfriend and a lot of great friends. I did this because I had an opportunity to pursue something that could potentially change my life for the better and give me the opportunity to travel at the same time but it meant I would leave everything I had worked my ass off for behind for at least six months. I remember reading success stories from various people I have taken inspiration from and they all started with huge sacrifices that eventually led to their dreams coming true. Now I had already sacrificed before and made my dreams of living in China come true but this opportunity was just something I had to at least try and have a go at.
I guess the "why I want to be a part of the #Alliance" question comes down to diversity and opportunity, Living in China and saying yes to almost every opportunity that came along took me to all kinds of crazy places and gave me memories that I had previously only dreamt of. This all came from meeting new people from all walks of life with all kinds of stories to tell and it also felt like being a part of a family which felt great being so far from home. So now I am on the road again with my three core friends who have been on this crazy journey with me and I would also like to share my experiences of life and travel with a family within steemit too.
Anyway traveling around Asia on a budget no real guarantees of support or success was stressfully punishing and funds were running quick. Fortunately, my friends told me to make the most of the situation and try anything you can to make some money and they also told me to start travel blogging on steemit. I quickly found a hidden passion for writing and I'm by no means a good writer but it's nice to know I can share my stories with people who might actually read them rather than just hitting like and scrolling through a feed. At first, I was withdrawing the SBD I was earning purely just to get by and keep food on the table but it was very up and down as far as upvotes were concerned, I just felt like a tiny fish lost in a sea of whales but as I spend more and more time on here I have learned a few things and now I am in a slightly better situation I intend on giving back to community as much as I can. As I said before, I seem to always find a way to get by in the outside world but online is a totally different beast and it would really be great to be a prt of a supportive network of people.I found the Alliance just by reading through different posts and checking out links and the more I read the more I wanted in. I read nothing but positive things about the group and the different things happening within and I can't wait to be apart of it. I really think I can be a valuable member of 
My Journey so far has had it's up's and downs but my friends and the support within steemit has truly helped me get through the dark times and I have seen places and had experiences that will stay with me forever and I look forward to sharing them with you and reading your stories too here on Steemit.
I guess this is also my application to 
Thanks for reading.
