Introduction ... :)

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Welcome to Steem, @traventurer! What a fantastic journey you have had so far. To up and leave everything and wander off into the world; it is the stuff that many dreams are made of.

I have bookmarked your blog and will go back and peruse later. I am interested to knowing what type of work you were doing back home before you left, and how your parents are dealing with your lifestyle. I have three daughters, one of whom travels intensely, and while I worry about her, I do approve...

I think your life is a great basis for future posts here on Steem. I have upvoted your post and followed you. Feel free to follow me back.

Good luck and enjoy your journey!

Thank you so much! A lot of people say I am living the dream, which is true sometimes, but there are definitely hard aspects to this lifestyle as well.
Before I left, I had worked my way up to be a Quality Assurance Specialist at a NZ based company that is similar to eBay in NZ. I'm still working for them remotely but just doing Customer Service work now. Bit of a drop but it's worth it for the lifestyle it has given me!
My parents are very proud of what I've been doing which I'm very grateful for, as I know others may disapprove! I'm sure they worry about me too but I make sure to keep close contact with them online when I'm away and send them all the details of where I'm staying etc. It sounds like your daughter is having a similar journey too, is she working remotely or does she save up all the cash then go for extended amounts of time?
Thanks again for the welcome, I have followed you back too and look forward to hearing more from you :)
