Far From Classy... Me!

*Hi Steemit!*

I'm here to learn more about cryptocurrencies. Glad to be part of Steemit. Can't wait to get to know this community more and learn from all of you.

Anyway, a new friend, whom I met a party mentioned this new amazing platform called "Steemit" and now i'm here... Still trying to get that person to sign up. Working on it...

So, a little bit about me... I recently got laid off and now trying to find another job; but, while I'm waiting for something new, I thought I should expand my knowledge about these cryptocurrencies, that are flipping the economic world upside down. I have a finance background, but please teach me in simple language - I'm kind of slow on learning, and would prefer to read in "plain" English. I do however, have a good memory and comprehension, which means, once I learned things, they are stuck in my head. Yeah, I'm weird like that!

**Extra things about me:**

1) As I mentioned above, I got laid off, but so far, the companies are telling me that I'm either "too young" to be in a middle management position or I'm "too old" to be on an entry level position - I'm in the beginning of my 30s!!!! - The struggle is real!

2) I'm not a blogger, or a youtuber or someone famous - just a regular person who loves life and food!

3) I also like running, but I'm not the best at it... My goal last year was to run a marathon once in my life - I ran two marathons this year and hoping to run 3 full marathons in 2018!

4) I'm passionate about camping, so if any of you would like tips on getting outdoors, let me know. I camp throughout the year - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. I know you can read about camping everywhere on the internet, but I'm still willing to share my ideas.

5) I'm not classy at all, though I tried... I would eat loads of chicken wings and there will be sauce all over my face. Sometimes, my friends would find food in my hair, that I haven't noticed for hours... One time, I flew to Toronto, after spending a day in a beach - paddle boarding, and I was so tired that I fell asleep on the guy's shoulder beside me (on the plane) and woke up realizing that I drooled all over his shirt!!! - I was so embarrassed and offered to buy him a new shirt, but he declined... That's when I realized, there are still really nice people out there!

Anyway, if you're a grammar-OCD-person, please forgive me. English isn't my first language. Also, don't hesitate to correct me, I love learning!

By the way, I do use a lot of exclamation marks, because I talk in a very exciting way all the time :P

Here are some of my camping trips - PS: I love Hot Yoga and yes, I'm one of those people who tries to do a yoga pose whenever I see a great background! :)
