Hello my lovely Steemos! My Name is Robert and I am a social butterfly!

Namaste Steemionis and Steeminas! This is us:

( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)


And I am Robert, a little German butterfly revolutionising the world how I know her. I am doing stuff and I am pretty good at not choosing one thing over another so I keep doing that. My life has been permeated by changes and changes are what's keeping me alive. Today I am a writer and tomorrow a reader, yesterday a chef and next month a Barista. One may think that's just a random enumeration of some irrelevant nonsense but actually, what's mentioned prior describes my life pretty accurately. In a short way - Let me explain:

Let's start whit what's not on the list:

I am a world traveller


≧◡≦

With world I mean both the inner and the outer one. You know what I mean like, spirituality and stuff, hokus pokus, personal develepmentonis. That combined with actual movement. And boy I cannot stop. I basically moved out of my parents home when I was eleven (11) and kept going. Well, mostly I still was lying in bed playing games and stuff but there are also many worlds to discover so not too bad.

My real border crossing travel started after I decided that studying is nothing for me right now. I tried it with biology and although I had a great time I knew I had to move. So I decided to go where every broke Millennium Gypsy would have gone. 'Good old Thailand!' 



And oh boy did I fall in love literally. A lot with the country and the food but mainly with the people. As I wanted to give back to the world because of my white privilege I ended up working with a Children' Rights Organisation for 3 months. 3 very SuperAwesome months.

\(^○^)人(^○^)/

 
Then I had to leave Thailand and went on to India to build a social sculpture in Varanasi, India's oldest and most holy city with friends from Germany and India. We basically modified a bicycle rickshaw and watered it on Mother Ganga afterwards. Is there anyone interested in reading about that? I'd love to start a series.

Today: Writer

Let's speak about present times. I have never been a great writer. Atleast school said that to me. I barely managed to pass German classes and was happy to scrap it and did maths and physics instead. Guess what I do now? I scrapped maths and physics and made writing part of my main life. Oh gosh. Life is strange. Maybe in 10 years I will be back to physics.
Back on track. 

So even school said I was bad at writing I kinda ended up writing a diary during my studies and people enjoyed reading them. Having made that awesome discovery I decided to start a travel blog. Why? Everybody has one nowadays, don't they? I have always been very descriptive about my daily life and knew exactly what I wanted to write about so my first post was about a floating Garden and then came nothing for like a month. 

Do you know remember the part I said I knew what I was doing? I lied. Yet it was a quite awesome experience and from there on I am still carrying the plan to plant some grass in the local U-Bahn to make all those grey people a little bit less grey. I promised my readers to write a second Part of the garden construction. I never did. Upps. Lesson: Do not take my word for granted.


The name Rooting Robert originates in the lack of roots I have in one particular place. That's why I made it my life's mission to get my roots all over the world, building a network, being a world bridger and connecting humans and ideas.

Yesterday: Vegan Food Creator





After I moved out and before I went studying I was heavily involved in a vegan catering service. Yeah I am a total Gypsy-Potato Eater! And yes the dessert shown above is 100% plant based!

Now let's go on with watching this pixeled video of mine. I want to say hello to all you steemitos!




That's all folks! What I am doing now? The tomorrow thingy. Going to read your stuff! Happy living and thank you for Being!

Oh right! I am heading to China next month to work there as a Barista. Keep your ears open and your eyes trained. Daily Changde, Hunan Province, China life incoming soon!
-Robert

As I can see you also kinda got the Asian travel bug. After having been to both Thailand and India I can cleary admit that Thailand is my favourite. I would not miss India though If I ever get the chance again. I just love the chaos. Happy connecting! :)
