Introducing Karlie

Hello Steemit friends. As my first post I think it would be fitting to introduce myself. My name is Karlie Hamilton and I am 28 years old. I was born in Sydney, Australia, however I spent most of my childhood in Brisbane. As a child I was very active and represented my school and state in a variety of sports, mostly swimming and athletics.

One of the many swimming carnivals. I am in the orange. :)

When I finished school I studied a Bachelor of Business, however decided not to pursue this as the area that I studied, marketing, conflicted with my personal values. When I finished university I decided to work at Movie World, a theme park located on the Gold Coast. Here, I mostly operated the rides. I then started to pursue a career in nursing, which I currently still do today. In fact, in a weeks time I will be heading to the UK to work as a live in carer.

I like to think of myself as a unique individual who is very open minded and non-judgemental. I enjoy going to the gym, muay thai (a martial art that is similar to kickboxing), reading and travelling. I must admit, I am also a crazy Harry Potter and Disney fan! My blogs will mostly talk about my travels and the many unique and interesting experiences I have had, both the good and the bad!

Just for fun I have added some photos to hopefully give you guys an idea of what i am like (or how crazy I am :D) I look forward to connecting with you all.

I needed a wash.

My favourite hairstyle. I should try modelling. What do you think? :P

Lastly, this photo pretty much sums up my personality. :)
