Hello steemitians!
I'm new to steemit and have decided after the perpetual pestering of my wife @bellekaur to finally take a look at what's been getting more attention than I am nowadays. Jokes aside though it's really nice to read posts where people talk about interesting, innovative, imaginative, and inspirational things.
So I'm a 33 yr old guy and I recently moved to The great City of Toronto in Canada. I had spent all of my childhood in the middle east; Dubai, U.A.E to be specific and eventually moved to Canada when I was 18. I lived in Peterborough, Ontario , Canada for a major part of my life (12yrs) and have been shuffling between Dubai and Peterborough for the latter part of those years not knowing where I would eventually settle. Met an amazing woman and fooled her into marrying me which has finally prompted us to make a concrete decision to live in Toronto. I am now working with the film industry and have also joined The Directors Guild of Canada.
I'm jumping into to the world of blockchains and crpto currency and I am here to improve my social interaction with the world and hopefully make a little money as well. I'm looking forward to reading, upvoting and commenting on your posts and hopefully I can post something of value and pay it forward so to say. My interests are current/future technologies, innovative thinking, helping people, video games, t.v and film, traveling and meeting new and interesting people. Sending good vibes to everyone and I am really happy to be joining this awesome community!

Welcome to Steem(it)! Have fun!
thanks buddy!
Welcome, man! :) Hope your wife won't serve you the "I-told-you-so" treatment when you'll start having fun on here :)
lol! it's been happening for a while now! cheers!
Thanks, buddy! The "I-told-you-so" is inevitable, but at least I'll be having fun!! :)
Welcome to Steemit buddy @contagious . And you should have listened to @bellekaur earlier. Well, it's never too late. Convincing people to try something new is not easy, I know!
hahaha! like pulling teeth! :D
So glad he's finally on here though!
I literally might need to pull a few out to start convincing people :)
Yup, more power to you both!

Welcome to Steemit. I'm new here as well. I'm enjoying it so far.
thanks! and Welcome! :)
Welcome on steemit :-)
thank you!
You are very welcome @contagious .
Nice to meet you. I lived in Toronto and went to high school there. I grew in Muskoka jest a few hours north, I'm sure you know it. Toronto is a fun city, sounds expensive these days so I'm kind of glad I line in China where it's nice and cheap.
And congratulations on getting into the "The Directors Guild of Canada." that's going to be rewarding. What type of films do you direct?
that's awesome! we've done a couple shoots in Muskoka actually. I used to live in Peterborough and loved it although job opportunities are limited in a little town. So we moved. It is very expensive, but at least there are jobs! ;) I'd move back to the country in a heartbeat if there were similar opportunities though. Not a city guy.
How do you like China? My wife and I have always wanted to visit.
I don't direct (maybe eventually!), I'm in production and because the big movies start in Summer, so far it's been commercials this Winter. Bet I'll be Steeming about it in time. :)
