Hello and good morning/afternoon/evening/witching hour,
My name is Richard and, as the title of this post implied, I'm new here. I was told about Steemit by a friend of mine, and it sounded like a good opportunity to get involved in a creative community, one which is also on the leading edge of an interesting new way of sharing content. I have a blog that I do already, sporadically, and so it made sense to utilise this forum also. I understand that I can re-post my own content, so I'll look into that, as it sounds like a good way to re-share some of my favourite pieces. As regards theme, generally I just write about whatever interests me: sport, religion, philosophy, travel, and so on. I just go with whatever idea I have at the time which piques the interest.
I'm originally from New Zealand, but have been living in (or near) London for the last twelve years. I love the city and the opportunities it offers, for work, play, travel, and so on. I work in administration, and the current company I'm at is a really good one, so I'm hoping to get a contract extension or permanent role, and stay there for a while longer. But I'll have to see about that. I also looked into the possibility of living in my other favourite place, New York, but since the last election that possibility is less appealing. Still, what a town!
I guess eventually I'll move back home and settle down. The older I get, the more appealing the peace and quiet are. I'll have to make that hard decision eventually; I guess I've been putting it off for a while. There are a few boxes to tick here, first. I essentially want to do as much travel as I can in Europe and elsewhere, and continue the (so-far relatively fruitless) task of trying to get some of my fiction published. I love sci fi and mostly write that, but I read a lot of different kind of things, including the classics and various non-fiction.
Also, I have a crappy old bike which I want to replace so I can explore the area where I live a bit more. There are a lot of nice places to go, especially during summer. Let's see how long the warm days last.
I guess that's it for now. I'll look to post some content here in the near future. Thanks for reading!
-Richard

It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.
Keep it up! You are a new member so I thought I'd send my regards. This post deserves an upvote and I hope you will some day do the same!
As you are new to steemit and it can be hard for newcomers to boost their steem power so maybe you want to try @MinnowPowerUp where you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just directly powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and share my own experience in earning wupvotes for over $1 a day.
