Introducing Myself: Artist.Photographer.Traveler

About me:

My name is Venera. I am 21 years old.
Most of my life I'm engaged in creativity. The last three years I have been traveling. Hitchhiked many cities of Russia from Lake Baikal to the Crimea.
I live in the cozy city of St. Petersburg.
Most of all I want to grow as a person. To combine creative directions and spiritual development. Travel all over the world to discover how amazing our Earth and all who exist on it.

My content:

At Steemit, I would like to maintain my blog, which could harmoniously combine all aspects of my interests. I want to work on the technique and art of presenting my thoughts and ideas on the topic:

• social problems and relationships,
• cooking,
• photography,
• painting,
• travel.
  I believe that I will have something to say, and my words will be alive on these electronic pages.

My hobbies:

Much of my hobbies are focused on creative activity.
I like to make portrait sketches of people, and I try to find my own style. In my work, I most often use a simple pencil or markers. Recently, I'm learning to draw in the electronic version, but it's quite unnatural.

I love photography. It is impossible to single out a specific direction here. Equally, I like to shoot landscapes, city landscapes and macro objects. In my travels, even in the smallest, the camera is an indispensable companion. I really love Petersburg, and I see the beautiful even behind cobbled pavements and wide avenues.

Another of my addictions are books. I like reading foreign classics, science fiction, fantasy and anti-utopia. My favorites are Franz Kafka, Haruki Murakami and especially JRR Tolken.

Also, relatively recently, I had a new passion - it's cooking. I like to cook amazing and simple dishes. I pay great attention to spices and their selection. My kitchen is like a cook's laboratory, and I'm very proud of it. In the course of my culinary knowledge, I have even been replaced by some vital positions. I became a veggie. Therefore, the dishes that I cook often look wild. But from this they do not become less tasty!

Plans for 2018

Perhaps there is an abundance of plans and goals for this year, and prompted me to begin to lead this blog.

I plan to start a solid culinary blog, backed up with lots of quality photos. I want all my interests and spheres to intertwine, and personify me.

For this year I made a list of 50 books, which I will definitely read. It includes not only fiction, but also historical books, or even books on philosophy. I strive to quench my thirst for knowledge, and for this I need to read and read again.
It is important for me to take up my health, in particular yoga.

And, even more than blogging, I want to combine this with travel. I want to cross the Russian border by hitchhiking. I want to walk hundreds of kilometers. I want to breathe in dust from the roads and the moist air of the mountains. I want to write about this, and express in my photos.

And for all of the above, this year I'm aiming to completely switch to freelancing. My dream is to make money selling handmade sketchbooks. According to individual needs and ideas. I want my products to store memory and create history together with their owners. They helped to understand themselves and build their creative endeavors.
