My name is Summer and I'm a 24 year old Canadian living in England. I've been here for almost 4 years but sadly will be leaving come October!
I moved here with my husband who I've been with since I was 16, he is in the USAF and we've been stationed here since 2013. Yes, I'm a 'military spouse'. No, it does not define me. Although I have met some great people through the military, I restrict my involvement in any military related ie socials etc. Why? Because I have found I only relate to maybe 7% of the mil spouses I have met. My views are generally..."different" from your average military family. My husband and I are both Libertarian by nature, my husband actually leans more anarcho-capitalist. See? Doesn't quite fit the lifestyle in which we are submerged! I know what you are probably thinking: "But wait.. your husband believes in the abolishment kf government but is currently owned and controlled by it?" Yeah, it's a long story. In short, we obviously have not always been that way. I can't wait to get into more posts to explain to you guys how we got to where we are now!
The fact I identify as a libertarian should give you a pretty good idea of where I stand on issues and ideologies. There are many specific topics I plan on diving into in the future. It is a big part of what makes me 'me', but there is so much more to me as well!
I describe myself as a creative. I am an artist on many fronts. I have been musical from a very early age; I play mostly guitar and sing, but I also dabble with other instruments. Music is one of the biggest parts of my life/heart and my biggest inspiration.
I have also been a writer for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on a novel, and starting up my own blog about my journey and experiences.
Aside from music/writing, I have always been a visual artist as well. I had my first art show when I was 17--primarily showing paintings. More recently, I have been focusing on drawing, embroidery and wood burning.
I am a very spiritual person. I was raised Catholic but identify as Christian today. I take steps every day to become more self-aware and to care for others and myself.
I definitely want to keep this short and sweet for now guys because I have so many things I want to get into! I can't wait to carry on sharing with you guys and I truly believe I will make some great friends here. :)

Hi, thank you! :)
I hope you enjoy your stay on here. There seems to be issue with your profile picture of not showing? You might need to need to resize the picture you're trying to use.
I hadn't even noticed, thank you for pointing it out! I think I fixed it now. :)
Welcome to Steemit|! And I wish you will have fun around here!
Thanks so much! :)
Hope your hubby will leave the military as soon as possible. Put your money where your mouth is and so forth. It is really an evil organization which also costs a lot of tax money. Ask him to be a professional Steemit blogger instead : )
The plan is to get out after this enlistment which is up next year! I will tell him your suggestion haha. I think he would make a great blogger, he definitely has a lot of interesting thoughts. :P
Hi! Welcome!
Hi @bugavi, thank you!
