Greetings fellows!

Hello!
I just created an account here on Steemit yesterday and due to the excitment started uploading stuff right away. And then came across a tip that said I should introduce myself. So here is my introduction post.

My name is Manica and I come from Slovenia. The surface area of my country is rather small and about 60% of it is covered with forests. Due to growing up here, I like spending time in nature a lot - running, hiking, exploring, whatever.

The town I come from is also rather small with just about 15.000 inhabitants. It was a nice place to grow up, but as soon as I started travelling and seeing more of the world, I found out that I'd rather live in some bigger city. Funny, people usually move out of the city to some place more peaceful in order to settle down, in my case it's just the opposite.

I enjoy getting lost in cities - and here, in my hometown, every street just seems too familiar. Also, I like being just another stranger in the crowd rather than knowing almost every person you walk by. But before I can find a place in the world that suits me best, I have to finish my studies of cultural tourism here in Slovenia.

Being a student usually goes hand in hand with having limited funds, so I found a cheaper alternative to expensive travels, and that is through volunteer work. It is also a great way to make friends from elsewhere, so learning about other cultures and lifestyles is guaranteed.

I am always up for learning new stuff by reading and studying, but in my opinion, the best way to learn is by doing things - a more practical approach. That is why my number one goal at the moment, besides finishing my studies, is to travel as much as possible, get to know new cultures, places, people - and while doing that, capturing the moments with my camera.
