Hello my fellow Steemians & Steemers . My name is Ch8ze and Iβm currently 25 years old living in Canada π¨π¦.
First off, I want to thank @drakos for helping me getting on board. π Iβm super stoked to be able to launch my first post on Steemit. I heard many good things about the
@steemit community prior to my joining. Coming from a background of mainstream social media, I am excited to meet and connect with new faces on this thriving and growing platform.
A little bit about myselfβ¦π―
I was born in Hong Kong ππ°, came to Canada when I was 3 years old. Raised in Canada, I was lucky enough to travel to Asia with my family every 2nd summer during the holidays back when I was in middle/high school. I fell in love with traveling ever since..minus the 12+ hours plane rides :P
The famous Hong Kong skyline ππ°π
The never ending traffic near the central district area ππππ
There's always something about looking out the airplane window, I often feel a rush of adrenaline. π«
Flight over Singapore πΈπ¬
I have a crazy passion for photography πΈ, I started officially diving into it back in January 2017 when I found various different crash courses online. At the time, my dad had a Canon 7D that he left in his studio room rarely used. So I borrowed it from him and never looked back since. ( My dad is a music producer οΈπΌ so he rarely uses it anyways, he basically gave it to me and said not to waste it haha I still currently use the camera till this day lol.)
Shooting in urban areas πΈ
Ever since I embarked on my journey as a photographer, I felt compelled into going outdoors taking shots around my city in Edmonton, Alberta. I have developed a new love for certain types of photography including urban, portrait, landscapes, and have made it well part of my daily/weekly routine. π
I remember I got up before the early bird rush for this one π¦
Went out for some photo shoots in the summer with my girlfriend @celinacam , I find parking lots are great places to get unexpected shots ! π
Edmonton has some great sunsets in the summer π
I also started sharpening my photography skills during my trips last year. I got the chance to travel to South East Asia with my girlfriend @celinacam who is also a newly joined member of the Steemit community. One of the many things I've realized is traveling definitely opened my mind up to different aspects of life. πΊ

*But more on this later... ππ *
As for on my spare time, I like to research on the latest trends and new things going on in the world. I am also a fan of Metaphysics (cosmo, alien, spiritual related topics.) πΏ
***If anyone here reading this also a fan of aliens/spiritual topics, please hit me up. I would love to hear your personal perspectives on it. :) I believe we are all here for a reason; to share our experiences and grow with each other! π½

So Whatβs The Plan? π
My goal is to connect with likeminded people through sharing my photographs, life stories, travel experiences, and my personal perspective about the world we live in. By creating and sharing my content, I hope to one day inspire anyone reading this with the hopes of becoming a FULL TIME Steemian. π I have quite a few pieces of content in mind I would like to share with everyone in the upcoming weeks.
Meanwhile Iβm curious, what was your favourite part about my story? π€
Talk soon :)
