Hello Steemit World! Introductory post from the land down under :)

Good morning to the Steemit community!

Having only joined Steemit 2 days ago and despite it being past midnight (!!) in Australia, I was so encouraged by how welcoming and friendly everyone is on here that I had to submit my first post! 

I'm still new to all this so apologies in advance if my first few posts are a bit rough :) 

About me...

I'm pretty camera shy so I don't have too many pictures of myself but in the spirit of Steemit here I am in one of the most picturesque parks we have in my hometown 


I'm from Australia (as you can probably guess from the title)...can anyone guess where? (Hint: see picture below, a pretty iconic view ;)...yes that is an outdoor cinema screen in front of the harbour!!) 


I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by beautiful beaches and coastlines so getting views like the one below is not  uncommon at all...


I love travelling and wish I could do it more often but I'm lucky enough to have been to some pretty nice places with some amazing views...some of these include 

New Zealand - 

Bora Bora - 


Above all else though - my passion is FOOD! I live, breathe and (of course) EAT food. I love trying different kinds of food from different cultures, I'm a firm believer in quality produce and ingredients over quality but am just as happy eating at a hole-in-the-wall as I am at a fine dining establishment!

For my first post I just wanted to give you guys a glimpse into a breakfast phenomenon that seems to have struck Australia over the past few years...avocado on toast. 

It may sound simple but you cannot walk into a cafe in Sydney, Melbourne or any major city without seeing some form of avocado toast on the menu. It can be as simple as literally avocado on toast OR...a couple of these exciting combinations I tried recently..

This was at a local cafe - thick-cut sourdough toast, smashed avocado, poached egg, oven roasted tomatoes topped with a sprinkle of paprika and cracked black pepper.

Another variation...

This one is again on sourdough toast (freshly made on-site at this boulangerie), feta cheese, smashed avocado and sun dried cherry tomatoes. 

If you have to ask - they were both DELICIOUS!! You really cannot go wrong with a simple avocado on toast but it is next level when you start adding other ingredients such as warm poached egg, the sweet and juicyness of cherry tomatoes, bit of saltyness from feta cheese and even just a drizzle of olive oil, all of these combine to make a heavenly breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack! 

ANYWAY - probably enough about me for one post (meant to have been an introduction too!). 

Hope you guys enjoyed reading, stay tuned for more posts...especially if you like food!! Visited a special brunch place recently with a focus on fresh seafood (lobster for breakfast anyone?) 

Catch you guys later :) xx

Welcome to SteemIt! I'm also camera shy as well, looking forward to seeing you share more of your food creations.

Hey there! Thank you very much for the welcome and the reply. Haha yeah I'm not a huge fan of the camera but I understand it's an important part of building honesty and integrity on steemit so I bit the bullet!

Yes I'll definitely be sharing more food creations so stay tuned :) xx

Thanks @alesserivy !! I really appreciate your comment. Haha it made me hungry typing it as well! Glad you enjoyed my post and I'll definitely be posting more of my food adventures so stay tuned and thanks again for your support :)

I just got a chance to read your intro and welcome to Steemit that I know nothing about, honestly I don't even know how to draw out my Steemit dollar but it isn't really about the money. I kinda enjoy when people actually read my post, people like you. I'll help you with the upvote and resteem as much as I can and just so you know; don't be camera shy because you have a very bubbly smile, you should wear that often. I would like to see more of that! Cheers!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to look back to my first post, it feels like ages ago but it was only 2 months!

Yeah I think a lot of people just comment or vote without reading the post but I feel like once you start to feel like you know someone and can relate to their stuff then you're genuinely interested and want to read their posts - like yours!

Anyway, thanks again for all the support, I'll def be supporting you as much as I can also :)

Great shots @phamished lovely to meet you! Can't wait to see some more photos from your adventures.

Hey there! Thanks for finding my introductory post, nice to see people are still reading it :) yes stay tuned for more I’ve got a special post coming up!
