#Introduceyourself .... Poor Circulation rides into Steemit

Hello Steemians……

As I attempt to divorce myself from procrastination, this is probably a good time to introduced myself to the Steemit community.

Who Am I?

My name is Geoff Thomas and I’d describe myself as a motorcycle traveller, messy writer and occasional gentleman. A product of 1960’s Northeast England, I’ve lived in several different parts of the world and find myself currently residing in Thailand. But, if you’re picturing a stilted bungalow on a shaded beach where waves lap gently onto pristine sands, whilst that would certainly be my dream home, I find my frugal life here in the industrial suburbs of Northern Bangkok to be far more reasonably priced.

Why Poor Circulation?

Thankfully, it’s not a reflection on my state of health, at least not yet. Poor Circulation is more a sub-title for the last ten years of my life where I’ve circled the globe on a motorcycle and a budget of around $12,000 per year. To a few I’ve met along the way that sum is a mere pittance, but to the majority, it’s a fortune they could barely imagine. So yes, I’m well aware of how fortunate I am to enjoy such freedom, and for that reason, my goal every day is to leave more smiles than miles on the roads behind me.

What Content Will I Post?

Generally, my posts will be tales from my global wanderings, small chapters of life that can be read independently, or if the reader prefers, in the context of the larger story that each forms a part of. They’ll usually consist of messily written texts supported by poorly framed photographs, and sometimes there might even be a short and badly edited video. But, given my lifelong devotion to idleness, I suspect there’ll also be occasional periods of silence. And in a way, that’s also a reason for joining the community here on Steemit.

Why Steemit?

Well, given the alternative platforms for creative content, the question should probably be; why-the-hell not? We create content because that’s what we enjoy doing, and given the amazing creativity here on Steemit, the fact that Eric Schmidt and Mark Zuckerberg et al are not reaping all of the rewards feels amazingly satisfying.
Also, media should be interactive - actions followed by reactions - and even though responses to content will not always be positive, here on Steemit even the most negative responses tend to be constructive rather than destructive in nature, and as such, provide valuable feedback and learning opportunities for the creator. So hopefully, the process of constructive interaction will encourage me to improve both the quality and quantity of my posts.

In Summary.

Hopefully some Steemians will read, watch, and enjoy my future posts, and whenever I go wrong, help guide me back to the righteous path. So thanks for the welcome and as our respective journeys continue to unfold, I look forward to crossing paths and interacting with many of you.
