an introduction
hello and welcome to my newly minted everything blog! I had a really good experience writing my greece travel blog, and wanted to broaden the topics i write about. don’t forget to read to the end for a surprise :)

why do i want to post about more than just travel??? first off, i don't go on enough trips to have consistent content. i also have a lot of other interests and sometimes need an outlet to just geek out or shout into the void. i often read the blue lug blog and appreciate how they are able to interweave bike builds, small trips, gear updates, and fun little extras all in one place, so was hoping I could capture a little of that magic here.
why blogging??? i have never been much of a social-media poster, so blog writing was a new experience for me. however, i love the flexibility and ownership that blogging provides as opposed to using a specific platform run by a lil' freak (looking at you, m*** z********* & e*** m***). plus, blogging is not only flexible for me, it allows my posts to be read on any browser without the need for making / logging in to any accounts! hashtag you're welcome.
why bear blog??? i will let the creator give you the long answer. short answer? it's lightweight, not corporate, and sustainable. imo(🍠), sites like bearblog are integral to having a free, decentralized, and interesting internet. thanks herman :)
why the name change??? i decided to move away from the name dragon's blogma because 1. it's silly, 2. the joke is hard to explain, and 3. i wanted to create a bit more of a cohesive "brand" identity, do i want to create a brand? not really. is it much easier to type and remember "melon?" probably, it's one word!! so streamlined!!
dragon's blogma is not going away, however; i will be keeping it as an archive of my greece trip and will keep a little redirect in the about section of this blog. that being said, it is likely that all new trip posts will be over here on melon industries.
thanks for reading my little intro! I'm looking forward to whatever this turns into!! and please consider subscribing to my blog!!! i will send out a fun email each time i make a new post!!!! no, it is not automated!!!!! i personally send them out!!!!!! 📮
