A few days ago I saw a post by @djvidov announcing the first Steemit Bucharest meetup.
I said "count me in" and today after work I went to the meeting place, a super chill tea house with a beautiful, green garden. "Ceai la Vlaicu" meaning "Tea at Vlaicu" is called and you can count it in the list of the hidden gems of Bucharest.
On my way there I decided to try a different route, to walk on lateral, smaller streets which are often charming and full of beautiful old, houses with luscious gardens and birds singing. Even if I erred a bit I so much enjoyed it.
I discovered this small, roundish street which was so beautifully bathed by the setting sun that it took my breath away. The first thing that drew my attention was this bar with a terrace that made me feel like I was traveling back in time. And I loved its name "Smart's" :)
Further along, I saw this retro car, keeping me in the "back in time" movie:
And then I looked at the building behind and I loved its curvy shape bathing in the sun:
And then I saw this balcony:
I don't know why I enjoyed the vibe of this whole street so much, but I want to go back and take more pictures.
Then I got to the tea-house and I found my fellow Romanian Steemians:
From left to right: @mikimike, @djvidov, @alinamarin.
And @emag, @teutorigos, @gamestack and his wife, who promised us to join Steemit ASAP.
It was a very chill and relaxed meeting, over beers, lemonade, tea and vanilla ice cream in rooibos tea - something I have never tried before:
We got to know each other a bit, we shared about our experience on Steemit so far, what strategies for growth we have been using or not and why, what we want from our involvement in the platform and the community and what we want to do next.
I suggested that we should keep each other accountable with these regular meetups, so we're actually helping each other grow on Steemit.
All in all, it was a lovely meeting, I am grateful for everyone who took their time to come to this meetup.
And I am very grateful that Steemit brought us together and made us connect so easily and naturally.
I'm curious and optimistic about how these new connections will grow into new relationships within and outside Steemit.
PS: I hope one of them will publish a post with a photo where I appear too, I know someone took a selfie with all of us ;)
