G’day people from Steemit, I came to Australia late 2016 after quitting uni and having a rough couple of years in general. So it was the perfect time for a new start. I fell in love with this country, its clean streets, fresh air, beautiful neighbourhoods and the people.
A lot of things have happened in the last year. I left my home country to start living on my own for the first time, came to Australia, got into cycling again and made a lot of friends. I consider myself an introvert and so making friends is always hard for me, and because I’m not super fluent in English I can get really nervous when meeting new people. I am really happy because I overcame that and made really good relationships.
A few things about me, I went vegan about two years ago and before that I was a pescatarian for four years. Going vegan is without a doubt one of the best things I’ve done in my life, but ill write more about that later.
I have been riding bikes ever since I was young, but only came across road and track cycling when I was 19 years old. My favourite part of riding is descending down hill. I love going fast and just fooling around on my bike! I raced for 3 years and stopped for a while but now I want to start racing again and get as fit as I can.
I’m going back to Chile in a couple weeks, and just thinking about that makes me feel sad. Australia feels like home to me. I’ve never had many friends and throughout my life it has been difficult to connect with people. I found that connection here. I learnt a lot this past year and I’m looking forward to applying these things in Chile. I want to start a community of vegan cyclists in Santiago and show on social media how great a vegan lifestyle can be. I want to create content both in Spanish and in English so I can reach a wider spectrum of people. That’s all for now, see you in the next post!
Welcome to this awesome community, how are you? How was it living away from home and moving abroad?
I'm very good thanks:) Living away from home's been amazing, being in a different country with different culture just puts you out of your comfort zone and when you're out of it, you can really grow as a person an develop new skills and habits, at least that what I think hahaah. It's something that everyone should experience in my opinion.
Hola bienvenido a steemit! Mi sueño es vivir en Australia , pienso que es un paraíso pero pues vendrán más oportunidades después para ver si puedes quedarte vivir allí, o buscar otro lugar solo ten paciencia (: ! Saludos desde México, espero leer más de ti pronto !
Adelaide es un excelente lugar para vivir, especialmente si vienes de una gran ciudad, como Santiago, y quieres cambiar de ambiente por algo más tranquilo. Estoy seguro que esta no será la última vez que voy a estar en Adelaide. Voy a tratar de aprovechar mi tiempo en Santiago, pero de seguro estaré planeando un proximo viaje. Me alegra conocer a otro vegano aquí en steemit, también espero leer más de ti.
cool
