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...
Upvoted! welocme to the platform, love travelminded people, will keep an eye out for your posts.
Love to travel, did so for 4years and worked on a Cruise ship to copy your lifestyle. back in Amsterdam for now decided on whats next! Enjoy game 7 tonight! again welcome and enjoy the platform
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
I applied to be a flight attendant as well and got hired but decided to pick a job with more income, now i regrat it a little just need to tavel again! GO Gypsys
No one becomes a flight attendant to get rich, that's for sure! Haha (go Raptors!)
Hey Torri, welcome to steemit

torrijan congratulation steemit our community .
Welcome to Steemit!
Wish I had time to travel, but I have a lot to do here :)
Welcome Tori, looking forward to more! Coffee and wine, a travelers fuel. Feel free to follow another traveler or contact if you need anything!
Welcome aboard!
What's up Torri. Welcome to Steemit.
I have so many questions for you now. ahah :)
As a flight attendant, do you have time to do your own thing as well?
Absolutely. That's the second reason we have the job. 1) travel 2) flexible schedule. So not only do we get good layovers in cool places to explore -- but we have plenty of days off for time to do other travel or creative ventures or what have you. It's not always glamorous, but it's a pretty sweet gig!
I figured that it wasn't always glamorous. I've considered the profession, but I'd need to figure out a way to keep my youtube/brand alive. I guess I could always do travel blogs

STOPOkay Torri,
I wasn't going to comment but you got me in with your "Go Stros".
Houston as a city, and franchise need to win this tonight.So I second your comment "Go Stros"
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
Dodgers lost and a worthy franchise and great (and recovering) city got a much needed boost. All is right and balanced in the baseball world. Amen.
I love your pictures!
Welcome to steemit @torrijan.
I did not know about introduceyourself before, I need to do mine too =)
Welcome to the club torrijan. Hope you find this helpful - TIPS in FORMATTING and STYLING your POST on STEEMIT. @sandalphon
Hi @torrijan, as someone who doesn't drink coffee or wine I am always curious as to whether the two can be mixed at all (I mean I have heard of Irish coffee but have no idea what's in it). You'll find plenty of good people here to have a chat, and who knows, you might even meet a few of them on your travels around the world. If you are in Australia please come say hi!
The only times when I've mixed the two are on looooooong days where the morning coffee suddenly turns into the evening wine. Haha Although a great combo is red wine and pure sugar cane Coke-a-Cola on ice. Sounds wierd, but it's so good on a hot afternoon. Think: backyard BBQ sangria twist. (Irish coffee, if I remember right, is coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and then foam on top.)
Basically the coffee smell gives me headaches and alcohol feels weird on my tongue. So mixing the two might just put me out cold but I don't want to find out :D
I've had sangria before but even the slight bit of alcohol seems to ruin the fruit flavour for me :p Yet apparently I don't have any problem downing Hendrick's Gin so I am still trying to figure it out :D
Welcome!
