Hello Steemit community!

This is my first post, so I guess it's best to introduce myself. My name is Marija, I am a 23 year old photographer from Croatia.

I was born in a beautiful town on the Adriatic coast – Sibenik, but I'm currently living and studying math in Croatia's capital – Zagreb.  I am completely in love with my hometown and my niece and nephew – that's why I go back to Sibenik every chance I get.

 I am a freelance photographer. Yes, a photographer who's currently studying math. *Weird, right?* I realized I wanted to be a photographer when I found myself constantly imagining almost everything that comes into my line of sight – as a photograph. I thought about composition and the way I would edit that imaginary shot.

I LOVE to travel *(even though I am scared of flying lol)*. My biggest wish, travelwise,  is to visit **Ireland, Scotland and Iceland** :)

Some ~~fun~~ facts about me:
* I have three sisters
* I went to a music school as a kid
* I know every episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. by heart (and I watch them over and over again)
* I'm a dog person 
* My dream job: destination wedding photographer
* **I strongly believe in the power of positive thinking**

I think Steemit is a great platform for content creators, and my plan is to write about photography, travel and everyday life.
