If you have any interest in a short, money driven eighteen-year-old (only kidding… but I undoubtedly embrace your upvotes) then you may find my introductory post enticing.
Lets quickly talk about me (no preference in topic choice here, but I’m left with very few things to discuss). I was born in the UK but I have lived abroad for the past six years. In that segment of time I have lived in The Netherlands, Germany, and America. Throughout my childhood, my parents always looked for adventure and new experience which explains the constant moving. However, I do not begrudge my transient childhood for it has developed my desire to explore. This incentive is what led me to discovering Steemit.
As of one week ago, I had never heard of this platform and I felt fairly comfortable with my social media activity. However, while working on a charity project in Playa Del Carmen (a subject which I will discuss in a later post), I came across @lizanomadsoul and @luzcypher. They went on to show me the power of Steemit and what can be achieved with it. Since this encounter and my return to the US, I have gone into a hyper drive mode with the intention of understanding crypto currencies – and more importantly, Steemit. If you have any recommendations for further research, then I am very grateful for any replies.
Anyway, back to the topic of me (really trying hard to not sound self-obsessed with this post). I am a keen traveler and I will use this platform with you to share my adventure and journeys. I also hold a small entrepreneurship spirit, which I have utilized while growing up. Quick story time here:
Living in Holland, I was looking for something more than school and student life, so I decided to make money by washing cars. I must have looked quite the comical character: a short, 12-year-old English boy clutching a bucket and knocking on every neighbors’ door trying my best Dutch to exaggerate my brilliant service. Yet I faced one problem- I was too small to reach the car roofs. I concluded that I needed to make friends with the tall kids. The following weekend I made the same journey knocking on doors, only this time I was accompanied with a new friend- he was 6ft.
However, what I value most (except for my dog) is my community service. I briefly mentioned earlier my work in Mexico, and this builds towards my end goal, which is to create a career in which I can help others and gain for myself – basically I want to be the next founder of toms (I highly recommend Blake Mycoskie’s autobiography to anyone interested in entrepreneurship).
I hope Steemit will be more than just a monetary gain, rather a place to build friendships and connections. I am excited to embrace this community and move forward.
really great to have you, wonderful post. I think you are in the right place my friend, a very good community with a lot of eagerness to support and help in almost all human ventures. much success to you on here

Welcome to steemit
Today marks my first full week on steemit and I am blown away by this community and it's potential. Enjoy your youth, the travels, and life in general. A year ago today I was on my way with my wife @clickinchicken and some people from my church to Belize to help a church reach some less fortunate than ourselves. I want to see steemit help us reach a goal of helping people full time. I believe it is possible. Reach out, meet people here and post away! I'm following you so keep us posted!
Such a positive and uplifting comment. I followed you back straight away. I very much respect your goal and wish you lots of luck in the future! I will also be following your successes!
Nice to meet you. What an interesting life you've had already. Look forward to your future adventures

Hey dude! First of all, welcome to Steemit! You sound like a very interesting dude! I myself have unfortunately not gotten to travel much in my 33 years. So I look forward to seeing yours!

Hey I just stumbled upon your post and I found it really inspiring! I have a question after consuming your content, you said "basically I want to be the next founder of toms " and I was wondering, what is "toms"?
I hope that's not a silly question =D
