Hey there!

My name is Torri (Hi, Torri) and I'm new here. Very excited -- but very new. Bear with me as I learn from you guys how to be a part of this awesome community?

So this is where I'm supposed to introduce myself, yeah? Ok, so, I guess first off, you should know I run entirely off of this stuff:

With major assistance from this guy.

Here's a picture of my office...

I'm a flight attendant. See proof below.

You see, I love to travel.

Like, love to travel.

Plus, I'm allergic to a 9-5. But. I do have that coffee and wine habit to support...so I figured I should probably just come up with a way to get paid to travel. Viola!

If I'm not in the sky, I'm usually trying to be somewhere like this:

Or this:

and this ain't bad...

Bottom line -- outside, in nature, breathing deeply. In a perfect world, a campfire is nearby.

Book lover, baseball fanatic, theatre geek, choir nerd. My relationship with peanut butter may be considered by some as unhealthy, and I don't like pickles (does anyone?). My perfect night is spent with good people discussing complex ideas over a great bottle(s) of wine.

And that's kinda the Steemit gig, yeah? Interesting people of all different backgrounds and viewpoints coming together to discuss and appreciate the vast intricacies of humanity and society and technology and art and culture and how they intersect. I mean, right?

(Whistles under breath)
Count me in -- and thanks in advance for welcoming me to the party.

Welcome Torri, I love the pictures you have selected for your first post. You have an amazing 'office' view. I will say though that I do love pickles...in fact, I jarred my own using cucumbers from my garden.

I'm following you and I love that you are adding your own amazing experiences to this community!

Fresh, home-jarred pickles could perhaps be my gateway pickle. (I'm also jealous that you have a bountiful garden. Nothing better than fresh food you cultivate w your own hands) Thx for the follow (returned) and the welcome!

My son works for an airline and can fly nonrev anywhere. He has taken some awesome trips. I've tried to encourage him to share his travels and stories here, but he has little interest in Steemit. I'm glad you do! What an exceptional opportunity you have and I hope you share it all here.

Ah, that sweet, sweet non-rev life. Good for him taking advantage of it! And maybe he'll change his mind. Perfect job for Steemit discourse.

Welcome to Steemit :D

Welcome to Steemit! I sometimes review wines in #steempub and I fly smaller planes for leasure.....it really is a fun community!

Wine, planes and Steemit. A lovely trifecta.

Hi Torri.. Nice to meet you... Welcome to Steemit..🌹.. You are very Pretty..!!!!!.. This is a nice intro post with pictures.... I hope you will do great over here as a steemian..😊.. Follow Me @onority

Welcome! So jealous of your lifestyle! I work a 9-5 so I can totally understand why you would be allergic to it! I'm trying to make my way into something I'm more passionate about as well, but for now, I'll take it. What is the most remote place you've ever been? I feel like with everything we see here in the US, a remote place seems fantastic right about now!

Yes welcome, and i love that photo of you in the cockpit!

Haha thanks! It's a classic flight attendant shot. That, and sitting in an engine. We all have those two!

Welcome to steemit torri, always wanted a flight attendant kinda job. hope to see pictures of new places you travel to.

Thanks! Great job, and always hiring...

Cruise ship life has very similar feel and benefits!I know quite a few flight attendants that worked on ships before going to aviation. We're interesting birds, us gypsys. Thanks for upvote...And go 'stros! (Anyone but the Dodgers haha)

haha i can feel the passion, I love Basketball and had a season seat when I when i lived in Toronto for year and a half. just decided to meet up and watch the game, will start here at 01:00
