Hello Steemit - My name is "Donsie"
Hello (Steemit) World
I've known about Steemit for many months now. @craigcryptoking tried to explain it to me sometime last year already, and then @BraaiBoy has been nagging me since he joined earlier this year. Unfortunately I'm not much of a writer, so I found it hard to find the motivation to go ahead and join.
Then a few weeks back, @BraaiBoy created an account FOR me in a collaborative experiment with the @Steem-UA.
Read more about that over here: https://steemit.com/ua/@steem-ua/steem-ua-free-accounts-give-away-pilot-collaboration-with-braaiboy and here: https://steemit.com/busy/@braaiboy/welcoming-to-the-first-3-steemians-from-the-steem-ua-account-creation-pilot-programme
Who is Donsie?
My real name is Johann Herbst but everyone calls me 'Donsie'. I live in Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa. I play as hard as I work and have a passion for great cars and tasty food... 'I look so good because I eat so good' :-)

See, I'm a real boy :-)

A scene from MotorMouths TV
Keep an eye out for #MotorMouthsTV which I co-present along with @BraaiBoy. I'm normally found BEHIND the camera, but this fun series that @BraaiBoy and I do together takes me out of my comfort zone and puts me in front of it. It's helped me understand, and be more patient, with the people that I film every day.

This is actually so close to the reality of my job :-)
What will I be posting?
As I've mentioned, I'm not a great writer, but I am an excellent (and, oh so humble :-)) cameraman. So expect a lot of video content (and some photography) from me. Thank you @Steem-UA for making my account and thank you @BraaiBoy for forcing me into it after all these months.
I'm going to do my best to keep you all entertained, especially now that I have a @TeamSouthAfrica footer. Look how shiny and new it looks :-)

Welcome to Steem! I see you have a thing for cars, this is a good thing. I do not think there are a lot of car stuff here on the blockchain so hoping you find your niche here soon.
Scott and I wanted to help you out by getting you some tips and tricks we learned over the past few months as new Steemians.
