Howzit!

Been putting this off as I'm a master procrastinator but it just doesn't feel right being on Steemit without doing the customary #introduceyourself post.

I'm Louis from Durban, South Africa. That is what I look like on a good day. And "howzit" is a proudly South African greeting.

South Africa is pretty much at the tip of the African continent here. No we don't ride on lions to work. We have technology and internet. ->

South Africa is known for things like Nelson Mandela, apartheid and of course, Charlize Theron. Oh, and Die Antwoord. But enough about ZAR. More about me.

I'm a self-proclaimed multipotentialite that loves getting involved in a number of things, sometimes at the same time. I love stretching myself and pushing my limits by learning a new craft or researching something on the internet.

My day job is building web projects in HTML at a global ad agency. I love to write and play the guitar. This is my guitalele. It's a cross between a guitar and a ukulele. ->

Another passionate pursuit is running. Started in 2013 and haven't looked back since. The company I worked for required that we set a BHAG or Big Hairy Audacious Goal. This had to be a sporting goal. Looking back it was actually a good thing being pushed out of my comfort zone and introduced to a world that I didn't know existed.

On June 4 I will be running the Comrades Marathon. (http://www.comrades.com/) This is a world famous ultra marathon of 86 kilometers (53.4 miles for those still on the imperial system). It is affectionately knows as the "ultimate human race".

This is me running in Cape Town recently! That is Table Mountain ->
