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