Hello Steemians! My name is Malcolm and I'd like to introduce myself

in introducemyself •  7 years ago 

Maybe you are wondering where my account name cycling-goldfish came from? I should say something inspirational like "it's about achieving the impossible" (I'm assuming nobodies tried cycling with flippers!) but really it originated from the combination of three of my favourite hobbies; cycling, gold prospecting, and fishing! Needless to say these are three things I plan to write about so if any of those are of interest please follow.

I am also interested in mushroom picking:

And exploring:

I live in Melbourne with my wonderful fiance Sylwia (Yet to join Steem but I'm persuading her to so she can share her sourdough bread baking secrets) where we have emigrated from UK just over a year ago and we enjoy the great Victorian outdoors with Hiking and camping trips that I'm looking forward to sharing with you :)

@tomekkk @family.life thanks for telling us all about steem and the delicious homemade doughnuts!

Hello @cycling-goldfish welcome!!

I'm @andyluy and I've been here for almost 2 months, and I can tell you that steemit is the most amazing thing I've ever seen at the internet so far. I'm happy seeing it grows every day!

I had some hard time on the firsts week, so I spent some time searching information to improve my experience with it, latter I've decided to make posts about those and others helpful information in order to help the new ones to have a shortcut to get deeper knowledge of steemit and its potencial.

here is some of my posts, I hope It mitght be helpful to you:

SteemBnB(this post is not mine, it is fruit of an amazing Idea from @chicosonico, but I've made a traslate to portuguese, you can find it at the comments section)
steemit awesome tools #2
Steemit-Police First official Investigator
The Randowhale
Minnowssupport!

Here is a post from @hannahlicious That i think Is useful to have a look too (she is also a great source of information and high quality posts):

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by tomekkk from the Minnow Support Project. It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews/crimsonclad, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows and creating a social network. Please find us in the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network (PALnet) Discord Channel. It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.

Welcome!!!! Hope you enjoy Steemit! It is a great community to meet people from all over the world. I am a Brazilian writer and videomaker, living in London. Here I post about photography, travelling and stories. Have a look at my profile and if you like it, follow me. :-)

Thanks Marcelli - I will :)

Good writeup! I looked up your profile and saw that you have signed up recently so I thought I'd send my regards. Have an upvote and we're all waiting to hear more from you!
As you only recently joined the steemit community it can be hard to recieve lots of upvotes so my advice would be to give Steemfollower a go as you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I made this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.

Wow, nice mushroom. Is it eatable?. I upvoted and follow you. Please follow me back @ubercryptomaster

Thanks - It is a salmon gum mushroom or Phlebopus marginatus. We ate it but it was not all that delicious. Apparently they can grow upto 30kg!

Welcome to Steemit! It's good time to start create Steemit better :)

Welcome to the Steemit community! I hope you have a great time here. I will look forward to your mushroom picking expertise. I always wanted to learn but to scared to pick the wrong one.

Wise to be cautious certainly! Definitely start out with someone who can show you the right ones you can find locally. Mushroom picking season is over here... almost spring in Oz now. But you can be sure I'll post about it next autumn :)

thanks :)

Cool. You're on my list. I'll let you know when you've been introduced.

We are on the same #teamaustralia post, so I thought I would swing by and say hello. My husband is into mushroom hunting as well. We get a lot of them in the Southern Highlands, NSW... but I've never seen anything as big as the one in your pic!

Please get your fiance to post her sourdough bread recipe... sounds fabulous!
