So I just learned about SteemFest and this year it's going to be in Lisbon - One of my favourite places to be!
As a system engineer with background in finance, social media, music and who also runs a custom social network, I am definitely excited at the prospect of meeting up with so many others who wish to use the very creative blockchain technology to help improve life and bring some balance to life as we do what we love!
There are so many reasons for me to want to go to Steemfest, but they include:
- Meeting new people who share my passion
- Opening the door to co-creating new technology that helps us all
- Happy party vibes and warmer weather (than britain!)
- Great white port wine :)
For anyone who has never been, Lisbon is a pretty low priced place to visit - with groceries typically costing half the price that they do in Britain, for example. I recommend checking out one of the high quality hostels you can find near the Barrio Alto area of Lisbon - you will find free WIFI, usually great people and usually good prices too. That is, unless you are a Steem-illionaire already - in which case maybe you will find ME a place in your penthouse to hang out for a few days :)
If you are open to being helped to find the money to cover your travel costs, don't forget to check out @steemfestdreams - who are crowdfunding to cover the fees for a few people.
Maybe see you there in the sun soon! :)
