Introducing myself
Hello everyone,
this is my very first post on Steemit and it took almost two weeks to me to find the courage to write something.
A friend of mine introduced me to Steemit after I took several personality tests for fun and they all ended up with the same results: I should work as an author. So she told me I should try Steemit to prove if the tests were right or not.
English is not my native language so I am likely making mistakes every here and there, but I hope you'll find my articles and posts interesting anyway, even with some little imperfection.
The second and main reason I am giving Steemit a go is that I am trying to shift from a 9-5 office job to freelance content writing. So I think that this could be a good way to practice with blogging.
I have done freelance SEO writing before, I've also started a blog years ago, but I didn't take it too seriously until I found myself miserable in a 'safe' job which forces me at a desk 9hours per day. So I am going to embrace the uncertainty of a freelance job which allows me freedom rather than the comfort of a desk-job.
I'd love to hear your opinion about this! Are you a freelancer or an employee?
Here's some extra information about myself: I am a 34 y.o Italian woman, living in Milan from 15yrs, with an incurable wanderlust and love for different cultures, languages, traditions and food :)

Hey there Elo,
Nice to meet you! I'm also the corporate type that is trying to broaden his horizons and create more of a geographically independent source of income. A big reason I'm doing this is also to be able to have the freedom to travel around and experience other cultures.. coming from the USA I didn't know the world was so big and interesting until I met an Italian girl in college and followed her home to Europe actually, haha. I wish you the best of luck and maybe we can follow each other and keep each other active on the platform!
Looking forward to your future work,
-Brian

Welcome to steemit. It's a great place to start freelance writing. Just be patient with finding your way around. It can take time to connect with the right people, but you are in the right place. 😊
Hi Brian and nice to meet you!
How is your life in Europe going?
I wish we could both realize the dream of being geographically independent and also more free to spent time with our families and beloved ones!
Thanks for the positive encouragement :)
Thanks!
I am trying to find out how to get the best from Steemit, I guess it takes time! But I want to give it a try and practice writing more :))
