[Blog #42] Challenge: Get To Know Me
Heeeyho Readers! Joining this fun challenge to let the community know a little about me
This past fork slowed things down on the Steem for most of us, which for me, represents a good opportunity to interact in a more 'warmer' way with all those who are really addicted devoted to this amazing platform. Yes my friend, let's stick together like a backpacker's Spaghetti with Tuna fish.
So, the whole idea for this post started with @anomadsoul, who challenged us to pick 10 posts that we would like everyone to read to get to know us a bit more - check the start HERE to know more about the rules.
A gigantic shout out to my friends @guchtere and @macchiata, who nominated me at the same time, leaving zero chances for this poor soul to scape from this task. Let's #gettoknowme !
By the way, @macchiata, I'm using your template, simply because you are the master of beautifully organized posts.
Since I started on the Steem blockchain, more precisely on the Steemit application, I barely stopped. Every single day I'm here posting and brainstorming ideas for new projects, maybe translating open source projects or maybe curating your texts for Travel Feed and Cycle Feed. It's so many tasks that sometimes my direct engagement in your amazing posts end up impaired.
Slowly Discord became a better tool for engagement, where most of the people I now consider close friends, end up meeting to know about each other.
That being said, if you like my selection of 10 posts about me, please, feel free to hop on Steemit Travellers Discord for a cup of tea and some chatting. Enjoy!
Heyho community! A little about the crazy me from Brazil
Everything has a start, and my start needs to be with my very first post on Steemit. On 22/12/2017 at 8:32 PM, @mrprofessor was born. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know if I would like to be a 'writer'; all I knew is that I wanted to inspire and share my adventures, experiences and upcoming trips. I still don't know if I achieved that, but we are still trying.
Live Outdoors: 3 ESSENTIAL ITEMS TO GO CAMPING
If you are interested into travelling the way I travel - with little to no money but a lot of enthusiasm - you'll like this post I released it exact 7 days after my introduction. I'm proud of this post because it was the first one I made that reached over 1 usd mark without knowing a thing about the tags system, nor Discord, nor the many self-promotion rooms, nor I had any friends to send me some love - you were a beginner, you know that struggle.
[PART 7] Travel Story: Coast of Uruguay by Bicycle | The Murphy's Law
I know that this is not the first post of the series. However, this post is my first text to receive an upvote from Curie, that mythological project. I remember waking up one day, openning my notebook and SURPRISE. There it was that massive upvote that made my reputation jump a lot of points in one sit. If you ever received one of those you know the feeling; if you haven't, keep on trying, it'll come sooner or later. By the way the whole bicycle trip is documented, it's worth checking to see in what kind of trouble I put myself into.
[PART 8] Travel Story: Coast of Uruguay by Bicycle | The Simple Days Are The Best
This post is not simply a continuation of a story, it's the start of completely different story - it was my first @travelfeed post. If I'm now member of this amazing team, who distributes lot's of love to travellers each day, it's because one day they upvoted me way back in February. I'm bringing this here because it's a representation of my enthusiasm and persistence. Here I am a couple months later helping the travel community as a core member of @travelfeed, something that I'm really proud of.
Photo Series #35: Food Photography | Simple Homemade Bread + Recipe
Oh yeah, my friends! Good ol' mrprofessor is a completely broke backpacker who eats crackers and Spaghetti with Tuna Fish for lunch. But when I'm at home I like to spend some time in the kitchen. Unfortunately, back in the day, possibly due to the tittle this bread recipe didn't get enough atention, so here it is again. Try it out, it's simple and delicious!
Travel Story: Stuck in the middle of Patagonia with Sushi
I hear from some friends that I'm a funny guy, but seriously, I can't help if life presents me with the most bizarre and funny stories. This post is not only the first one of my Patagonian stories, but it's also one of the funniest ones I have out there. Enjoy it, but not with the green thing.
[Books] My Favourite Writer | Amyr Klink | Sailor & Adventurer
Any adventurer has a favourite adventure writer, that special one who inspired us in some way or another. If there's one guy who causes wanderlust feelings whenever I read one of his books, that one is Amyr Klink. On this post I talk a little bit about his most important titles, some of them you'll find in English.
Travel Story: Hitchhiking to Perito Moreno Glacier & Washing Clothes on a River
This is the post that I'm perhaps mostly proud of due to its adventure aspect allied with history, humor, friendship and incredible landscapes. That trip to Perito Moreno was one of the most memorable moments in my life and it was a blast trying to pass that through the lines. I feel kinda egocentric, but it's worth reading.
Music Alphabet Challenge - A Fun Way To Share Music
You can tell a lot about a person by what he/she listens, unless it's someone ecletic. If you are curious to know about what type of music I listen, this post talks about exactly that. Go there and pick something to listen while you read the next posts. Hah!
[vlog #1] A New Format | Forest Cycling | Introducing Vlogs
You've read about me, you've laughed about my misery while hitchhiking, you've listened to what I listen. How about a little bit more about me now in video? Yes, here's my first ever vLog, something I would NEVER imagine I would do.
Introducing CycleFeed: Curation Project For Cyclists By Cyclists
This is a bonus post to finish my list, I know I have exceeded the 10 posts limit, but there's no way this could stay out. This is the first project on Steemit that I co-created and that I'm happy to direct. One of the most rewardings aspects of our community, is when you reach a point where you can help others, that's what I do with @cyclefeed. We help dozens of cyclists each day and it's always a blast to know a little bit about them and their journeys - Keep on pushing guys!
This is the end of our list, I hope you have enjoyed revisiting those posts as much as I did. It's awesome to go back and see how much progress was made during this 9 months journey.

Dammit, just saw this, think it's the second time I've been challenged for this one (the first one was by @porters) so better get to it, huh? Thanks for the nom. That's a new word I just invented, because nomination is far too long when you have steem posts you're forced to write.
By the way, I've read all of these - how cool!!! The sushi one really made me laugh!!
nom nom nom nom ahha, problem is not being 'nomed', problem is checking all the amazing 'nomed' people right after.
