Hallo Steemit World! Czech digital nomad and nature lover currently based in Mexico has just joined you :)

Hi Steemians, Steemmates and other amazing Steem people! :)

I have been one of you for about a week already (and even published a few diffident posts) but I somehow forgot to introduce myself. So let me put that right.

Greeting all Steemians from a beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

My name is Petr and I am in my early 30s. I come from the Czech Republic, a small but beautiful country in Central Europe, where I have spent most of my life.

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, summer 2016

As I found out later in life, school degrees are only good for making your CV look better but in case someone is really interested in that, I have degrees in Business English and English Philology.

After I finished my studies, I had a regular 9-5 (7-3 to be precise :D) office job in a big international company but I soon realized it was not what would make me happy. I quit that position and started a freelance career in translation and copywriting. Then, I discovered what is now generally known as digital nomadism and I completely fell in love with this lifestyle.

I have taken a full advantage of the flexibility and independence of my freelance job to become a digital nomad – a person who can work online wherever he or she is while traveling the world. This lifestyle has allowed me to visit beautiful places, meet amazing people and experience unforgettable things and this is what I would like to share with you here on Steemit.

I honestly admit I am not a big fan of technologies and IT stuff. I do have a Facebook and Instagram account but I haven’t heard of these blockchain things or even cryptocurrencies just until recently. I still don’t understand many things here on this platform, including the bots, the minnow support groups or the whole concept of those three currency types etc. – I am just a scribbler now but I am ready to learn :)

Now that you know what I suck at, I should say something about my hobbies I guess. Well, the older I am, the more I feel like my biggest passions are nature and traveling. I just love being in nature – whether it is on an isolated beach, deep in tropical jungle, under the sea, in my favorite Czech forest or high up in the mountains. I love observing, photographing and protecting the Earth´s wildlife.

I am also a keen traveler. Besides the Czech Republic, my home country, I have lived in other four countries (currently in Mexico – hence the introductory photo :) and visited many more.

Blue Lagoon, Comino Island, Malta

My third biggest hobby would be probably sport – I like football (soccer), basketball, jogging, outdoor workout, snorkeling to name a few.

My favorite outdoor workout spot Rokytka in Prague

So these are the topics I have mostly written about so far and that I will mostly write about here. (I will mainly publish just my own articles and use my own photos)

Hopefully, there will be some people among you, Steemians, who will be interested in my posts :)

I hope my work will be a useful and valuable contribution to this amazing community.

Thanks for any support, help or advice. I would also like to thank to those who have already visited my blog and voted for my posts. Thank you and Steem on!

Petr
