I’ll start off by saying that I’m completely new to this platform. I haven’t really got the hang of things yet, but I’m hoping I’ll learn along the way.
I was introduced to hive by @JustinParke, who’s blog I will no doubt draw much of my inspiration from.
My name is **Josephine** (Jo) **Keyes**, and I am 19 years of age. Daughter of a Scandavian mum and a British/Irish dad, I was born in the North of Sweden and grew up in the South West of England. I am currently **living in a small town in Sweden** with my Cambodian boyfriend, **Sovann**. We have **big dreams** and **empty pockets**, but we make the most of what we’ve got. While he's making the most of his last year of high school, I **work at the local opticians** as a optician's assistant. What with the current situation, I'm not working a lot... but it's the perfect time to set up the [**Hive Blog**](https://hive.blog/) and **start getting posts out there**!
**My goal** with the **Hive Blockchain** is to have a platform on which I can **share stories**, **insights**, **Swedish scenery** and **anything else I might find of interest**. **Reading tips**, **recipes**, **music** and **travel posts** are also topics that might pop up along the way so keep an eye out. I'm sure **I'll dedicate a whole post to Berlin in the future**, but the picture on the right is of my best friend when she and I were there in 2018. We were standing outside of [**Alte Nationalgalerie**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Nationalgalerie) listening to buskers. The **old guy on the bike** wasn't meant to be a part of it, but it made for a **cool picture** and he seemed ok with it.
I’ve **never had a blog of my own**, or really written a diary to be completely honest. So **this is all completely new to me**. I have a lot to learn when it comes to cryptocurrency and the blockchain too, so I definitely have my work cut out for me.
If anyone can **suggest any communities to join** or **tips** in general, all **help is very much appreciated**!
**🙏THANKS FOR READING🙏**
