Greetings, fellow hivians

I am delighted to finally join Hive where I can share what knowledge I hold and enrich myself with the information on this platform. I have had my eye on this platform for quite a while, thanks to my partner @fermentedphil, therefore I am thrilled to finally start my own journey.

I am not an expert in anything, yet

This coming year I am going into my second year of BA Languages at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I aspire to become a writer and an editor in either English or Afrikaans. Language is my passion and my hobby. I write poetry and short stories which I will share on this platform in the coming future. I am eager to improve and would like to engage with other writers and readers.

I am also doing my piano Grade 8 practical examination (the highest level) at Unisa. My musical qualifications include: piano Grade 7 practical at Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), Grade 5 music theory at Unisa and Grade 5 music theory at Royal Schools of Music. I also taught myself some violin and ukulele. Music is infinitive as there will always be somewhere to improve or something to learn more about. Therefore, I will share the knowledge I have and I would like to inspire others starting their own musical journey. I am open for any critique or advice anyone has regarding my own skills when it comes to either the practical or theoretical side of music.

I am a curious being and know a bit about a lot

Jack of all trades. That is what I would call myself regarding interests and hobbies. I am a self-taught artist in acrylic paint. Am I any good? That is something you will have to decide. I am fascinated by the human behaviour which is the reason for my interest in crime and psychology. Reading is a “necessary condition” in my life. I prefer crime novels and classics, but I read mostly anything. I am a massive art enthusiast and I am very fond of nature. Traveling is also one of my other avocations. With these hobbies I will produce content in the form of creations, reviews and recommendations.

Urban Scout at your service

I will scout in my own way for information. Gathering information and sharing it. Searching for information and learning from it. This platform is my opportunity for it to become a reality.

Note

Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction and I am thrilled to become part of Hive. Have a great festive season!
