Say 'Hello' to The Newbie!

Hello, Steemit!

So, I've been reading posts on Steemit for a couple of weeks now and I feel like I'm finally ready to dive into this platform and see if this is the right place for me to upload my content. I really love the diversity and depth of the topics discussed on this site, so naturally I will try to make my posts about a lot of different things and I will post a lot about daily life in one of the most beautiful regions of Mexico.

Little bit of Baileys on my terrace.

I live by a REALLY big lake.

The view to the mountain ain't bad either.

The lake is so big it has an island in it.

A Little Bit About Me

I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico City. As a teenager I lived in the United States up until I finished college, then I moved back to Mexico. I am completely fluent in Spanish, as well as English. I have worked as an English teacher for about 7 years, teaching children and also adults. Now, I mostly freelance as a translator and do other odd jobs from home. Yay, internet!

I'm outdoorsy in that I love drinking outdoors.

My Philosophy on Life

I am an extremely liberal, open minded person. I respect people from all walks of life, whether it be a transsexual prostitute or a church pastor, I openly and actively listen to all points of view, and find it extremely important to consider others' opinions, while avoiding making moral judgments on people. I have studied philosophy and theology at length, and could probably argue in favor of many theories. However, I don't do much arguing these days, as life has taught me to concern myself with my own enlightenment, do as much as I can to do good for others no matter what, be safe, be quiet, be wise. I hope that my posts are more of an anecdotal nature, and not as much as de-facto statements about what people should or shouldn't do. I'm not an expert on anything, I just want to interact and experience life.

Do you believe in magic?

What I Want to Accomplish on Steemit

Previously, I mentioned I work as a freelance translator. Freelancing has given me the opportunity to live at such a comfortable pace by being able to manage my own schedule, as well as saving me from having to commute to any physical place, thus avoiding office-rat hell. So yes, to be completely honest, I am committed to producing quality content for Steemit users in order to continue to work from home and be able to pay ma billz.
I’m extremely excited to participate in this particular platform, as it seems the users are highly educated as well as engaged participants, and it excites me very much to think about sharing with you, getting your feedback, and, of course, making friends!!!

I'll probably talk a lot about food.

I’d like your advice, please!
