Hello my new Steemit Family!

My name is Drew,

First off -- let me just say that I am beyond excited to join this community. The wealth of information and circulation of ideas is unparalleled on any other social media platform. There seems to be a lack of duckface selfies, pics of your meals, and status updates about how lit the party was last night. To me this is a good thing -- and is much more worth my time and attention.

Anyways, back to the real reason for my post. I'm an IT professional, freelancer, and critical thinker with a wide variety of interests. I'm a huge advocate of physical activity and absolutely love sports and competition in general. I also enjoy traveling and exploring. Here are some pictures of my recent travels:

(From my Dallas trip, the view from Reunion Tower was incredible!)

(Had to post this one regardless of the name on it -- it was the most beautiful building in Chicago imo)

But what I am truly passionate about is uncovering the truth about the world we live in for myself and others. We, especially in the United States, are lied to constantly from the moment we learn to communicate. This is unacceptable -- many out there need the wake up call I once received. I will be paying it forward and focus on shedding light on matters that most won't touch.

They live -- and we sleep. It's time we wake the F*ck up and look up from our smartphones.

STEEM ON FAM!

Thanks, I definitely do!

Hey Drew! Welcome to Steemit! It's always great meeting another fellow traveller! Any definite plans for your future travel?

One of my best friends comes from Chicago but I've never been in the U.S. as an adult. I would love to go see the city one day. What gives it its charm?

I am also a fan of fitness and swim laps every day when I can, wherever I am!

Hey! I don't have any definite plans for travel at the moment, but I'd love to take a trip to Mexico in the future.

The most interesting part of Chicago to me was the sheer size of the buildings and just how many there were. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before.

Oh you're a swimmer, huh? I swam for years when I was younger! I was a lifeguard for multiple summers as well.

I've always wanted to go to Mexico. If you end up going, post pictures to Steemit, I would love to see what it's like there!

Big cities like Chicago seem so busy and overwhelming. London is a big city, but most buildings are low-rise and town-like. You don't feel rushed all the time.

Swimming is my hobby, nice to meet someone who saves those who can't swim! Sounds like a great summer job, too, being a lifeguard. :)

Enjoy your day!
