My first step into Steemit - hi everyone!! :)
Hi Steemers! My name is Keni and I am from Sydney Australia.
I have wanted to write about some of my interests for a little while now, but there is probably not enough content to make it ‘one topic’ focused, so I am going to use my Steemit account as a mixed bag of blog posts about hobbies, how-to’s, reposting of things I like, and as a way to engage with similar and likeminded people :)
Some hobbies I have and would like to write about on Steemit:
Urban Exploring [urbexing]
From the Wiki: Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex, UE, bexing, urbexing and sometimes known as roof-and-tunnel hacking) is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment. Photography and historical interest/documentation are heavily featured in the hobby. Urbex or urban exploration may also be referred to as draining (an alternate form of urbexing where drains are explored), urban spelunking, urban rock climbing, urban caving, roof-topping, or building hacking.
I plan on posting my current adventures, and using Steemit as a way to archive my older explores too.
Japanese cars
[the older the better! =^.^=]I would like to use Steemit as a platform to do write ups on my cars I own and have owned, and cars I have built for others too, previous work I have done. I worked in the automotive industry for about 8 years and have experience in building drift cars, fibreglassing, spray painting and panel beating.
With the stagea, I would like to write up how-tos as I fix and repair things in my car – they have a double unicorn on the badge for a reason! The information can be quite hard to find, not converted to English from Japanese, or there are no pictures of the parts, so I would like to make that available for other Stagea owners and enthusiasts :)
My current Nissan Stagea S1 RS4
Some of the other cars ive owned, once you hit ten you stop counting:
A few ex sponsor cars:
My other interests include:
- Exploring
- Heritage architecture
- Hanging out in nature, bushwalking [there’s nothing better!]
- Crypto – news, rumors, memes
- Technology – IT Security, robotics, A.I, phreaking
- Emulation gaming – long live Super Nintendo and N64!
- Cooking recipes [and experiments]
- Homesteading – self-sustaining, tiny houses, container houses, renewable energy, livestock. [I’m a big believer in growing veggie gardens instead of grass!]
- Philosophy/Spirituality - Alan watts, Carl Sagan, Terrence McKenna, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, the list is ever growing!
I’m excited to be part of this and thank you for having me, I am looking forward to contributing and getting involved with the Steemit community.
I will end with an excerpt from my favorite poem, The Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan.
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”
I like to read this for a bit of perspective sometimes, and a reminder to take care of our earth =^.^=
Thanks for taking the time to read my first Steemit post!!
Cheers,
Kenj

A Gal who likes cars... WOW. What is there not to like. Enjoy your journey here. I'm just 3 months older than you.
I can imagine you doing "road coffees or tours" with other Japanese Car fanatics across different parts of Straya. I own two Mazdas myself. :)
Always remember, to just be YOU! :)

This is why I come to steemit every day! I see that you have been on steemit for some time now yet I'm feeling generous. One upvote from me and bring on the next one!
I know how hard it is to get big upvotes on a new account so my advice would be to give @MinnowPowerUp a go as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I also recently made this post explaining my experience with it in more depth while earning over $1 per day in upvotes.
