Hello everyone. First, I have to say that this is not my first post on this platform because I happened to find an idea of a much more interesting topic to share and write about prior to this. Here's a link, hopefully you'll be interested to give it a read😉

So this post will be about nothing else but, me❣️ So bear with me😊

And so my name is Marietta and it is a great pleasure to have joined the Hive Community through PeakD. I have prepared a simple image which hopefully pretty much summarize some things about me (which actually matters to be put here lol). Here it is!

1️⃣ FIRST1️⃣

..it's probably best to start this with a short story of how I found this platform and community. So my fiancé @chrismacys was the first to introduce me to this. He joined PeakD especially, several months before I did. And I used to only help him with the editing of his posts until he
got me into making my very own account (no complaint just love😍). He used to say that this will serve as a very good platform to write and share about my hobbies for books, photography, good foods good places, or just about anything and idea any thoughts we usually talk about.

"How intriguing!" I first thought.

And to my surprise, it did not take long for me to find many many ideas of topics to write about and even more I wasted no time into drafting my fist post which I shared with you before at the same moment I was visiting that place! Haha I didn't know how much I needed writing again until I did! Oops, enough about the initiation story.😬

..it's probably also important to mention nationality, I am Indonesian. I'm still being hopeful that more people from Indonesia (which ranks 4th as the most populated country in the world) could easily relate with me and interested to learn more about blockchains and many more things that revolve around it for the sake of our country's advancement, and of course for our own self benefits😁. I would like to poke one friend of mine too, to encourage him to write posts @rayleigh "Halo Mas" 😁
It won't hurt to post a cute picture of me et mon fiancé, will it?

3️⃣THIRD3️⃣

..talking about hobbies, I do have plenty! Although having to work full time from 7 to 4, 5 days a week somehow limits my adventurous self and leaves me with homey hobbies during weekdays (which is unfortunate). It doesn't reduce the fun in it though! I could still find time to read books, and gosh I could talk a loooot about my favorite ones! Maybe it's fine for me to mention some of my favorite genre here if I may? 😁 When I was younger I was more into young adult, fantasy books like those about mythology, magical stuff, and adventures. I remember reading :

• Enid Blyton's "The Famous Five";
• Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson" series;
• Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes";
• Also some of Cornelia Funke's books;
• Not to forget some Teenlit from some Indonesia's novelist.😁

Back in univeristy due to the stress of academic life, I continue to stick to fictions and sometimes biography (the light ones). Sadly I did not read many books back in that days, social politics journals and books filled my days and nights.😔

And after university, I got back on track! I also found new genres to add to my list like religions and spirituality, self improvement, and historical fiction.

• I read books on Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, even some of Hindu epos;
• I also read about mindfulness and minimalism;
• And for historical fiction I have many Indonesian authors whose works I adore such as Y.B. Mangunwijaya, Sindhunata, and Leila Chudori;
• I am still into fiction, Suzanne Collins and J. R. R. Tolkien books will never get old.

PLEASE ECOURAGE ME to maybe write some book review on my upcoming posts.😅

When I'm too tired to read, you will most probably find me binge-watching my favorite TV Series or movies, after work. I have quite similar interest with books genre when it comes to movies PLUS documentaries, so yeah.. titles like Criminal Minds, Outlander, Marvel Cinematic Universe series and movies, movies adaptations of Tolkien's masterpieces are probably enough to describe me.😁

4️⃣FOURTH4️⃣

..move on to other things (sorry for being too extra on the book section😅). Thankfully I still have Saturdays and Mondays off, so I could make the best out of it to finally GO OUT TO SEE NATURE! Even though I am not that much into mountain hiking, I'm fine with trekking and most importantly I LOVE camping! Here's a small collection of my adventures (and yes, it includes beaches, hills, even savanna.

MY MY, IT MUST ALREADY BEEN A LONG READ FOR YOU!😅

I believe it's a sign for me to stop here, or I will run out of ideas of what to write for my next posts😂. So please show some love to my introduction post by upvoting, reblogging, commenting, and maybe also follow me. It will hopefully encourage me to write more, soon!

Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
