A couple of weeks ago, I have been nominated by @see-it-feel-it to join a challenge created by @twodorks. I haven't shared any personal posts on Steemit yet, so it took me some time to start writing as I must admit that I'm not very good at talking about myself.
Why did I accept the challenge? I've been on Steemit for more than 5 months and I think that now it's the right time to show you who is behind this account.
It's been very difficult to prepare 5 random things about me, so please forgive me for not sharing 10 of them.
I love nature
If you follow my posts, you might know this already 😊 I feel connected with nature and this is my ‘safe’ place. It doesn’t matter how many problems I have to resolve but as soon as I’m in the mountains I forget them all. I can just sit on a meadow for hours and enjoy the serenity of mountains. This is where I recharge my batteries and where I feel content. My happy place…
I was born left-handed
During my childhood I was forced to use my right hand. I still remember how unnatural it was to me, but I had to obey. I didn’t understand what was wrong with doing things with my left hand and no one seemed that interested in explaining that to me. Right hand was the one to use. Period.
When I was older, lefties started to be more accepted in the society, but it was too late for me to switch to my left hand completely. Now I do some things with my right and other things with my left hand. I write with my right hand but play various sports (basketball, volleyball, tennis) with my left hand. I chop the onion with my right hand, but hold a spoon with my left hand 😊 And I could go on and on...
I love baking but I don’t like sweets
I would bake every day if I could. I have always enjoyed baking and learned how to bake from my mom. Neither myself nor my husband enjoy sweet treats and as we don’t have many friends here I can’t bake as much as I would like to.
I have recently agreed with the owner of the vegan shop here in town to bake a ‘charity’ cake each Saturday. All money from the sale is donated to a different good cause each month. I can now enjoy baking and contribute to the community at the same time. Win win!
I dislike shopping
When I was younger I loved to go shopping. I guess all girls do. Nowadays, it’s a torture for me to go to a shop and try all those clothes and shoes on. I must confess that I haven’t bought any piece of clothing this year yet. First of all I rather spend my time in the mountains and second of all I have realized that I have enough clothes and shoes for a long time. I have even donated a few pieces to the poor earlier this year and I still have more than enough.
I started to drive a car 12 years after I got my driver’s license
This is an embarrassing story...
I took a couple of driving lessons and decided to buy a car once I started to feel ashamed for asking my husband to drive me here and there all the time. He was driving with me for the first couple of weeks. One day, I had an appointment with the car dealer and my husband was too busy, so I thought I would go alone for the first time. The car was parked in the underground garage that was clearly built for smaller cars. When I was driving out of the garage, I was trying to be very careful, but one car was parked in a way that I had to drive around it. No, I didn’t hit that car..
I hit the pillar on the other side with the back of my car. When I heard that scratching sound, there was no escape anymore.. I was surprised with my reaction as I thought: Well, I’m on my way to the service anyway 😊 When I finally got there, they offered me a glass of water to calm me down and asked me to go home and pay the insurance invoice first 😊 They congratulated me and told me that from now on I won’t have any accidents and they were right. I was lucky that it was covered by the insurance as they had to change the back door. I had the car for 2 weeks at that time.
You can imagine how scared I was to drive the car after that. But eventually I started to understand how it works and now I’m fascinated with cars in general. I love driving and use the car every day now. And yes, I am a good driver 😊
To take part in the challenge I nominate: @mattifer, @sallybeth23, @puravidaville and @matkodurko.
I'm looking forward to learning more about you!
Cheers,
Martina

Just started Martina and now adjusting my schedule to fit this new writing activity which requires some time management tuning and new routine. Also had to clean some mess in my phone photos. I still think here is the best place to improve my writing skills, considering the interaction and feedback from the community. Thank you for the motivation boost :) I've recently started working on my next post.

Ohhhhh, that scraping sound of metal against metal, or metal against pillar... the worst sound, after the crunching of glass!! It's even worse than shopping - the torture to go to a shop and try all those clothes and shoes on - I hate shopping. I have come to hate cooking, because of so many food allergies, and I only wish I shared your non-love of sweets! My life (every milestone, every holiday, and numerous other occasions) was defined by food - if nothing else, the one thing I could always say of my childhood is "The food was good."
Thanks for sharing this. :)

Anyway, I really enjoyed this post. You and I have much in common it seems. I'll take you up on your challenge, although it may take me a few days to get to it.
In other news, if you are ever in the States you simply must come visit me. I'm in Ohio, but I travel a lot (as you know) so who knows where I might be if you make it here.

Do you use steemworld.org? You can see it there under 'mentions'. I have also missed so many things before I started to use it. But I think that Gina should give you a notification too. I'm not sure as I don't use Gina myself.
It doesn't matter how long it will take you :) But it will be nice to read a little more about you :)
If I would ever come to the States, I would let you know months in advance, so I'm sure that we would manage to meet up :)

I do use steemworld sometimes. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. I thought about using Gina, but I have never gotten around to setting that up. I really don't want one more thing that I need to check regularly and/or that gives me notifications about stuff. Between my 5 different email accounts and 4 different facebook accounts and 3 blogging accounts I have enough to keep up with. I'm starting to slack on all the things, so I really need to consolidate at this point.

Interesting to learn how long it took you to drive, I learned on a manual and every car I owned was automatic, now I refuse to drive a manual car and have to rely on husband or sons which I detest, but life goes on!
Mountains and outdoors are the only place to be to find peace with oneself, fully agree with you on that.
Buying clothing I have never enjoyed, fitting on in stores is a chore, of late I don't enjoy shopping for food once a week, do love cooking so am forced to do that.

I learned on a manual too and that was the problem. I was scared that the engine would die on each traffic light and didn't want to be in the way of other drivers :) Now I'm driving an automatic car and couldn't be happier :) As long as you have somebody to drive you around, it's good :)
Yes, these are the best places to be. It's getting rainy and cold over here so I'm afraid I won't be able to go outside too much, but I hope there will be a couple of more days this year that I'll still be able to enjoy outdoor.
There were time when I loved shopping, now I really avoid that. However I do enjoy shopping for food. I love cooking as well and I enjoy searching for ingredients.
Thank you for stopping by Joan :)

This is amazing! You’ve only been blogging for 5 months? That’s impressive. I, too, loathe shopping. Oddly enough I loved to go shopping when I was younger but I also liked fashion a lot back then. Now I’m much more a fan of comfort and practicality, but mostly comfort. Haha… whatever it is you wear to a beach is what I wear. It’s amazing the amount of time and energy one has when they stop focusing on fashion.
The volunteer cakey treats you’re making to raise money for donations is brilliant. I love that idea and can’t wait to see what you cook up. I wish my husband and I didn’t like sweets. I think once I got a hold of him he found his sweet tooth and now there’s no going back. :)
Don’t be embarrassed about side swiping that pillar either. I’d never admit it to my husband but I’ve done that once or twice in my day. You’re right, that screeching sound is just aweful.

I opened the account in March but at that time I was still working up to 12 hours a day so didn't manage to start. My first post was on 15th of May :)
I also loved fashion back then. Now I'm more conscious about the environment, fast fashion and all other things around it, I don't want to participate in it anymore :) Plus I don't like crowded places and 'nice' sales ladies.
Hahaha, I actually always wished I had a sweet tooth, so that I enjoy what I bake :) I do eat sweets but only a few times in a year and especially during PMS :D
Well, I don't want to say anything.. but you know that your husband started to follow me and might read this comment? :D

Nice to meet you. Looks like we have polar opposite experiences with driving. I took my license and drove for a few years without an accident. Then, in 3 years, I had two big crashes... and the last one, the car couldn't be fixed. Now I'm a bit scared to drive again. I've been walking and riding the Metro ever since.

I can imagine this was the reason. At that time you were weird when you were different and I can imagine they were thinking that it is the best for the children to do the same as otherwise they would be face issues at a later stage? Sounds crazy but I think that people were just following the 'rules' at that time.. Is you dad using his left hand now?

Switzerland is such a beautiful place... It's unreal! Been once and could return at any moment with such joy! Great blog, it was so fun to read! And if you don't have anywhere to distribute your baking, feel free to send some to me anytime, haha 🖤

I'm so lucky to be able to live in Switzerland (I'm not Swiss). I've been living here for around 8 years now.
Hahaha, all of the sudden there are many people who would like me to send them some cakes :D
Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you Sara. I didn't want to do it at the beginning but then I decided that it's nice to know about other people, so why wouldn't I share something about me? You should maybe consider writing something about you too :)

It was nice getting to know you a little better, Martina! The last bit made me laugh (but in sympathy, as I’m still not driving – 20 years after getting my license!)

I also wouldn't start if I didn't have to. Everyone around me was driving a car and I was feeling useless for not being able to. But if you live in a city with good public transport connections then you're fine. Here it's difficult. We only have buses and trains and I don't like buses that much, so this was another factor that motivated me to start :)
I would love to get to know you a little more too, Oleg! So you might consider writing those facts about you? :)
Thank you for visiting!

@delishtreats Hi fives, I'm born lefthanded too!! But I was too stubborn and didn't yield to my mother applying pressure on me to use my right hand :P
Hahaha

Hahaha, I couldn't do it. There was pressure from all sides and it was easier just to survive that time and change whatever I wanted as soon as they didn't have impact on me anymore :D

Love this post!, Great to get to know you :) I too love to bake...although I rarely eat the sweets, surprisingly enough. My husband loves them as do my kids! As for the story about driving, I had the same type of early driving experience, it is amazing the way it can make you nervous to drive again. I can just feel how you felt with the dented door, yuck! Love your post, I'll be following you now!

Thank you for your nice words :)
There is something magical about baking.. I love the process, adding different ingredients and flavors and I also love the smell of freshly baked cake.. but eating? Not that tempting.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience and I hope that you enjoy driving now :)
Yay! I do follow you back now :)

I've recently discovered the nature is also my happy place haha. And I find I'm the opposite with shopping, I actually like shopping more than I did when I was younger, hahaha. And omg the car story! I actually just got my license a year ago, at the age of 24...lol so I relate on the car/driving jitters! I also got in an accident a week after buying my first car! (all covered by insurance luckily!) but yeah, I also enjoy driving now haha. Thanks for sharing!

Yes very true. For things like Camera gear it is better. Clothes and footwear it is terrible.
