Hi Steemit! I'm Jake, I'm new, I'm excited, and I have no clue what I'm doing!

With half an hour of Steemit 'how to' under my belt, here goes the intro....

I'm a 28 year old Australian who loves going native in the outback, and earlier this year moved to Paris to be with my partner and explore the northern hemisphere.

I'm a generalist. I love most things life has to offer, and I try squeeze out all the life juice I can get.

Yesterday I returned from almost five weeks backpacking, hitchhiking and living in a tent in Iceland and Norway, and I'm now back in Paris basking in the little pleasures you forget about while on the road like warmth, cleanliness, and fresh milk in my coffee.

I'm currently exploring blogging and social media to see if it suits me, to find valuable advice about life and travel, and to return the favour by sharing my own experiences.

I can't grow a beard. I mean something happens, but its all whispy. And I get the odd orange sprout.

To cap things off, below we have myself setting up and reading about my steam it account at this very moment!

I'm not surprised you'd rather be out there or in the Outback. That scenery is amazing!

Enjoy your writing here. I hope you do well!

Hey @michelle.gent :)

Thanks for such an encouraging comment! I've followed your advice, and your profile.

And I will aim to enjoy the writing too. Seems a great way to practice and improve.

All the best!

You're most welcome!

If you make videos put them on dtube, its a steemit version of youtube. The FAQ section helped me to understand steemit and how it works, so i recomend reading that. Finally, if you would like to try trading crypto give me a follow 😁

@brittuf thanks that's really good to know! I have a little HD gopro type thing I take some travel stuff on and didn't really know what to do with. I don't know enough about trading crypto to even consider trading crypto....but I guess I'll have to find out sooner or later so I may just drop you a line :)

Nice to meet you, @myespressoroad! Welcome to the Steemit Community, wish you good luck and a good start, ive send you a small tip and followed you, hope you have an amazing day! :)

Thanks @vlone99! I'm not totally sure what that means yet but I will find out and surely return any favours :) Have a great day yourself!

Hi, Myespressoroad, I'm just here to leave a nice Hello ^^. Unfortunately i don't have much voting power, but i will be back and vote my followers. Need to grow a little ^^. Have a great time @rightuppercorner

Thanks mate :) Still grasping concepts but I'll have a peek at your site and see what its all about!

Welcome to steemit! Good luck an have fun!

Hi jake. I'm curious. Why would you like to grow a beard? 😉

Well truth be told I don't really want one @ghaaspur, but I couldn't even if I did! Be good to hang things from when I'm backpacking though....do you have one?

Welcome! Got a good laugh about your beard :)

@hannihealth you would get an even better laugh looking at my chin after 3 months!
All the best :)
