That is my bio. You know the space you have below your Steemit name. That place where you can describe yourself a bit so people know something about you without reading your posts. That mini area where you sell yourself to other Steemians and, with a drop of luck they will like what they read and they may open your latest post, to see what´s your drill.

But what makes a good bio and a bad bio? Is there even good/bad bios or does it completely depend on taste and perception of the reader?
I think there are bad bios. I´ve seen people giving out too much information, like cramming the space up making it difficult to focus on something specific. We just see a name and a hell lot of small letters right below. Or none at all.
I believe a good bio must give information about us but not that much, or even have long sentences about some uninteresting stuff.
My tip is that you write here what defines you but in an appealing way, so people get interested in actually reading your posts.
You may have noticed that in my bio I state that I am not an expert in pretty much anything that I like.
Well, I´m not. I am always learning and I don´t consider myself an expert in anything, I´m just an adept. We constantly learn and grow and to state that I am a Nomad, a writer, a photographer and a hitchhiker would be to think too much of myself. Instead, I like the idea of putting my slim expertise in my bio, but to state that I am learning, and I intend to keep getting better at it.
As you can see, all of those adjectives are phases towards becoming an expert, a profesional.
I wish one day I am able to change my bio to:
Professional Nomad - Skillful Writer - Photo Conosieur - Experienced Hitchhiker
Spanish version incoming, if you already read, go vote below :D
Quizás te hayas dado cuenta que en mi bio me defino como alguien que no es experto en nada de lo que le gusta.
Espero algún día poder cambiar mi bio a:Nómada profesional - Escritor experimentado - Fotógrafo Conocedor - Hitchhiker Profesional
Professional Nomad - Skillful Writer - Photo Conosieur - Experienced Hitchhiker
But for now, I can just...
Remember, Be Here Now
Dizque Nómada - Escritor Amateur - Photógrafo novato - Aprendiz de Hitchhiker
Esa es mi bio. Has visto ese espacio debajo de tu nombre de Steemit? Ese lugar en donde puedes describirte un poco para que las personas que se meten a tu perfil puedan conocer algo sobre ti sin tener que meterse a tus publicaciones. Esa mini área en la que te vendes a ti mismo para con los otros Steemians y, con un poco de suerte les causarás curiosidad y se meterán a algún post tuyo, para ver que traes, para ver que tal eres.
Pero que hace que una bio sea buena o mala? Existe eso de bios buenas/malas o depende totalmente de gustos y de la percepción del que lo lee?
Yo si creo que hay malas bios. He visto personas dando demasiada información en este pequeño espacio haciéndolo ver apretado y sin forma, volviendo difícil al lector enfocarse en algo específico. Solo vemos un nombre y muchas letras pequeñas debajo que ni nos molestamos en leer. Hay quien no escribe nada y desaprovecha el espacio.
Yo pienso que una buena bio debe dar suficiente información a los demás pero no exagerar, y tampoco debe tener un enunciado larguísimo acerca de un tema nada interesante para los demás.
Mi consejo es que escribas aquí lo que te define pero hazlo de una manera atractiva para el lector, así se interesarán en ti y quizás hasta lean tus posts.
Quizás te hayas dado cuenta que en mi bio me defino como alguien que no es experto en nada de lo que le gusta.
Bueno, es que no soy experto. Siempre estoy aprendiendo y en continua mejora y no me considero profesional en nada. La gente crece y mejora todo el tiempo y, decir que soy un nómada, un fotógrafo, un hitchhiker, sería hablar demasiado bien de mi, porque no es cierto. En lugar de eso, me gusta la idea de acentuar mi poca experiencia en estos asuntos en mi bio, pero aclarando que sigo aprendiendo y que en algún momento seré mucho mejor de lo que soy actualmente.
Como podrás ver, todos esos adjetivos son fases para volverse un experto, un profesional.
Espero algún día poder cambiar mi bio a:
Nómada profesional - Escritor experimentado - Fotógrafo Conocedor - Hitchhiker Profesional
Pero por ahora, solo se trata de...
Recuerda, Vive el Aquí y el Ahora
Well it depends. Not everyone takes out time to read a bio. Once your content are good that's when people at times bother themselves to know who you are and where you come from.
Content is the first identity before your personality

Our bio is our identity
It tells much about us to people
A bad bio will definitely give bad information to people about us.
Our bio is our story behind the scenes
But whether good or bad bio, we must learn to be good and down to earth like @anomadsoul.

Thanks for this wonderful post

We all learn something all our life. Someone does it better, someone worse. The main thing is to choose what you like. And if this activity gives you the opportunity to provide for yourself, then this is excellent. I think that you will achieve your craftsmanship.
But everyone chooses their own way in life. This choice is influenced by circumstances and responsibilities. I envy you that you can roam the countries, see something new, but I would not be able to.

I think my bio still rings true to who I wanted to be and who I am now.
I still like philosophizing about a number of topics.
I love food and sometimes still posts about food and places where I ate.
I have posted several games, anime and comic books.
I have done some books reviews
I am still a HR and Leadership fan boy of Simon Sinek and his servant leader and together is better philosophy which we use in mentoring the people in Ohana @steemitfamilyph and which is see in the @promo-mentors
It's a bit long but it's who I am.

I totally agree. However, one will never know why some pretty uninteresting lives and lousy writing make such popular bios and vice versa. A matter of marketing --or whatever one may call that kind of surveying--, I guess.

You are the definition of a free spirit.
Living a nomad lifestyle sounds appealing, but the vertigo of throwing oneself to live like that must be huge! Although if one succeed then it must be one of the greatest feeling ever.
I think as technology evolves, being able to do this will become less and less hard. Just until a few years ago living like that was almost impossible. Then people starting to earn a living using platforms like youtube, then instagrams starts, and now blockchain is allowing a new generation to also earn a living by creating content online.
The tendency is clear. And as @taskmaster4450 likes to say, a new age of abundance is around the corner.

For my bio I picked something that was fun, different, and making people wonder just a little. People sometimes stop by and leave remarks about it being “Unconfirmed time traveling cat”.
The unconfirmed part being I don’t have a clue what kind of content I’ll be doing next week or even a few days from now most of the time or perhaps I’ve just not been caught yet time traveling.
While I’ve yet to really do much about it on my own blog. I’ll go into certain types of blogs and have a little fun if the author already knows who I am regarding it. Sometimes I’ll past by some article that is showing “proof” of time traveling and I’ll leave a comment like “Just making sure I was not on the list. The humans suspect nothing.”
I’ve had a few laughs and good times on other people’s blogs. Humor is really something I’ve not been able to create blogs for on my end. Which is perhaps most of all why I leave my bio as it is. Humor should be somewhere on my blog!

Pero es que para algunos el término que usamos acá más bien indica una forma de vivir. Cuando yo digo que soy músico, no es porque llegué a la cima, es porque vivo la vida desde la música y hacia la música (por ejemplo). Y ella (la música) es infinita, es vulnerable, es voluble, cambia... Yo creo que así es para todos los que amamos las cosas e incluso es lo que he percibido de ti en otros posts.
Jajaja, pero ésto se volvió una disertación filosófica mía en un post tuyo (¡qué abuso!).

In time, Eric. You'll be all those. Yet, we were wondering you could put down a bit about yourself, but you could also put down what your blog is going to be about. You can have a neurosurgeon who has five properties around the world and is an adrenaline junkie, but would rather blog about social injustice (there could be some irony in that). Maybe a mixture of both - who you are and what you will write about. :)

The fact that you describe yourself the way you do on your bio only shows that you recognize you have much to learn.
You state you want to one day be able to change your bio to Professional Nomad etc etc... but that won't happen.
People like us who are aware that life is a learning experience always consider themselves green... the learning time required to master something is more than a lifetime.
