Sup Steemit!

Introducing…Myself! You can call me Dief. I am super excited to join the Steem community and start creating/contributing content for the first time ever.

There are just not enough hours in the day when you have a demanding job and a young family, and so my list of hobbies is woefully short. But, I’m hoping Steem can help me find a group of folks with the same hobbies that I can share with when I do actually have the time.

I am an aspiring amateur triathlete, but with some big goals. I WILL be racing in Kona someday and so I hope to be able to use Steem to read about and talk to other triathletes and document my own journey. Triathlon is not just something I do, it’s who I am so I am hoping to see what other Steemians are doing in the sport and maybe inspire some new triathletes along the way.

In the little time left over between kids, work, and training, I love to read. I have a decent collection of SciFi, Fantasy, and Horror paperbacks (used books from a second hand store is really the only way to buy books!)

Ik Nederlands ook aan het leren. Is there a Dutch contingent in Steem? I would love to connect with some people to practice my Dutch with.

Anyways, that’s me in a very small bottle. Please reach out / comment / follow me if we align, I would love to start connecting with the rest of the community! See you out there!

P.S. - I forgot the Hunt! I am also super excited to contribute to the Steemclan in hunting down the keys to Satoshi's Treasure.

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Whoa! I have the same dream, to cross the finish line in Kona one day. Maybe I will see you there!

  3. Get rewarded for staying fit and healthy with ActiFit - a Steem-based app which rewards you with tokens (which you can eventually use to boost your content) for being physically active.
