Hello dear Steemers,

This is a new member knocking on your door. I am looking forward to exchanging experiences and new knowledge with you all, but most importantly give and receive love.

I always thought that having/maintaining a blog would require a lot of time & energy and that I had to be far more of a better writer in order to have anybody read my mumblings lol. I have gone through tremendous life experiences where my mind has had to analyze everything in details in order to keep its sanity, but writing them down has never been easy.

However, all of those thoughts went away when my friend told me about her amazing experience with Steemit, where everything is about being TRUE, being YOU and let others be so too. From that moment on, I felt like "Yes, I will be a super-writer" lool.

I will start introducing myself by saying that I am long time a nature lover. It is very vital for me to have a bit of mountains and a bit of seaside (ok, lots of it) throughout the calendar year. Albania, my home, makes me feel extremely lucky to be able to reach to gorgeous nature with just a small hike, cycle or drive.

The picture above has been taken while visiting the beautiful Albanian northern alps (valley called Valbona) while the one below is a picture of me in one of the beaches of the city of Durres, located in the middle of Albania.

...here is another picture of me at the beach showing the happy face after a refreshing swim..;-)

My Huffy, the loyal and gorgeous every-day friend:

Another thing that pretty much identifies me is the love I have for wine.
I love wines, all wines, the way they are made and how much love and care they need throughout their life...before we drink them ;).

To me wine is like a classy lady, that if treated right, knows how to satisfy & make you feel great. It also never grows old, it just grows better and classier. So, to keep it short (because I could talk endlessly about it), I am coming from a simple wine making family and would love to share my love and knowledge about wine with all the winy Steemers out there :).

...digging wine..

Talking about it, the last two winters found me at the most cozy Tirana wooden house with a wooden stove inside where wine tasted much much better.

I will be writing quite some stories about wine in the future and I am looking forward to communicating with you guys.

Art is another favorite topic of mine, be it music, painting, cinema or photography or any other good art, but I look forward to share my thoughts on all of the above in the future.

I will keep this first post short by wishing that all of you are having a splendid weekend.

This is the end of my #introduceyourself story. I look very much forward to staying in touch with all you dear Steemers.

Cheers & love,
#thesteemamateur
