Found a friend to wait with while I wait for my coffee

A bit about me:

Hello Steemians! I am new to Steem and after doing some reading I found that the first thing to do is introduce yourself to the community. My name is Conrad and I am 30 years old (just! My birthday was last week….). I am originally from New Zealand but have recently moved to Spain with my wife to embark on new adventures teaching English and exploring the big wide world!







Christchurch, New Zealand - such a beutiful place!

Moving to Spain has been eye-opening as New Zealand is very secluded and I haven’t been able to travel a lot before this. Since moving to Spain about 4 months ago we have visited Morocco (Sahara desert trip!), Denmark for new years, England and done some travel around Spain. We bought a van here and have had fun learning to drive on the right side of the road (in New Zealand we drive on the left side!). Any recommendations for places to visit in Europe would be appreciated!

Although we came to Spain with very little Spanish we are picking it up quickly through language exchange with some of the locals. It has been a very testing time trying to set ourselves up without speaking the local language (especially because we are in a small village in Galicia where not a lot of people know English).







Home away from home, Galicia, Spain

My career

Before moving to Spain I studied marketing for around 6 years and completed my Masters. Upon finishing and looking for a real job I realised that sitting behind a desk all day didn’t suit my personality. After around 6 months of not being happy and uncertain what I wanted to do with my life I decided I wanted to retrain and become an Early childhood teacher (ECE) (being a male ECE teacher in New Zealand is very rare with around 2% of the working population being male). I was lucky to find a great supportive centre to work in after graduating and enjoyed every moment of it, working there for just over two years. It is a privilege to be a male ECE teacher and I feel lucky that I have found a career that I really a passionate about.

Being a bit of a bogan in my youth it was a sad day when my Ozzy Ozbourne shirt finally ripped after 10 years. RIP

What will I post?

Through Steemit I aim to share a variety of posts about my variety of interests which include music, podcasts, reading, healthy lifestyle (gym, healthy eating), cryptocurrency, travelling and culture. I want to generate and create discussions about these topics through content creation.

As I mentioned I have keen interest in technology and cryptocurrency (although not invested currently as all my spare money goes towards travel!) and this led me to stumble upon Steemit. I also introduced and inspired my brother @ronanmason to learn more about crytpocurrency and start investing so I can keenly follow his investments and future fortunes 😀😀.
