G'day Steemit!

Hi steemians, firstly thanks to @prch for getting me started on my journey here.

I have been a long time lurker (perhaps a procrastinator?) but finally decided to get cracking on the blog journey.

A little about me.
Blessed to call Australia (Melbourne) my home as it has been voted the most liveable city in the world! I am fairly shy and private so this is a massive step for me. The picture below shows how I felt when people told me to write my thoughts for the world to see (I like dress up parties :P).

Hmmm I really should put a Brad Pittesque photo up of myself…

Anyway I work in Finance and that is probably the last time you will hear me talk about work. I have a variety of interests…starting with:

• FOOD! - Yes this classifies as an interest. It will most likely be the main content you will find from me. I have an Instagram page (thebrunchwankers) which tries to showcase the Melbourne brunch scene. The idea is to take fairly normal, unedited photos and give genuine down to earth reviews with a touch of satire here and there. If I try to hit up brunch every weekend (followed by exercise to burn it off). To add to the down to earth nature of it, I have given some of my friends access to the account so they can add to it if they like. Again we like to keep it simple, if we don’t like something, we will say it. Sample of the page (its fairly new)

• Photography – Been taking photos for a while but always been slightly lazy/shy to post online but there are a few photos here and there on my computer so I will start posting these up soon. For now here is a snapshot of my personal insta (mmainiac)

• Sports – Basically will try my hand , or foot, or head at any sport there is. Currently playing Cricket, Squash….basketball depends on my mates being available, AFL is an obsession but don’t play

• Trading (currently crypto) – Trading was supposed to be my ticket out of a 9-5. I had a goal of retiring by 30. I am now 31, I have not retired, I am far from this goal. Next dot point please

• Guitar (learning) and making mixes for friends – Always enjoyed listening to music so I used to make some mixes for random house parties. Then I finally decided to try my hand at guitar, damn its hard! So far I have 4 songs down, lets see how this increases…Maybe I can keep a tally here? Or even a post? Unlikely. Refer above to comment about shy.

• Learning about random stuff (Currently Decluttering and Minimalism)

Wow, now I know why people say you should write, because I am about 440 words in already! Anyway I just want to say I am excited to be here, I am going to use it to just project myself. Something I am quietly passionate about is helping others, especially organisations that help kids. So if I am not busy trying to be superman and saving the world I will be here sharing info that people may like!
