View this post on Hive: I want to go. I doubt to go. I'm not yet planning to go | Road to SteemFest 4
Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.
Hope you can make it or win a ticket! But can imagine the doubts. Really sorry to hear the mobility is a painful struggle. Hope it will improve someday?

Yes - I hope all of those things too! :D Unfortunately in order to solve the pain it requires some medical advancements... My biggest hope for now is on Stem Cell Therapy after a complicated operation in an almost inoperable place in the foot. Who knows, medical advancements seem to be going quite quickly currently, so I'm not giving up, but for now there's no-one who can help me :-) Maybe chopping of the leg and replacing it with a robot variety is the best fix :D
Are you having any wishes of going to Bangkok @sanderjansenart?
That really sucks I hoped it would cure with time. True the medical advances really fast and maybe there will be improvements and a solution for you. Hope it doesn't take too long...
Not really I have to deal with too much shit and couldn't pay for it either. But I'm always curious about the steemfest and who are going.
I don't want to go. I'm not that social and I traveled so much for work and conferences I don't enjoy them. Even though there are many special Steemians that I would love to meet.
Here is the deal. I want you do go and if you decide it is a good idea for you to go, I promise to help with 100 Steem. I know it's not much... But it's a start! You will owe me big time pictures though.
That's a freaking amazing offer @whatsup - Thank you so much! That will mean you'll receive a spicy selection of b-side pictures that are not 'appropriate for the blockchain' haha! (But don't tell anyone you'll get those pictures or everyone will avoid me.)
I really hope I can make the decision to go - soonish. I know it's a good idea for me to go, somehow these meet-ups recharge me and they feel very 'New Steem' - not much complaining, as if it filters out the brightest and most positive people of all of Steem :-)
Last year I came back with renewed perspective and I hope to find the same and more this year.
Thanks again WU, you rock.
#newsteem
I'll add 100 Steem to this too! Awesome idea @whatsup .
Steemian meet ups are very important to keep the community flowing in the right direction and I know how each you enjoy your time together. Someday, I hope to be able to make one of them too.
Whuuut! You are making me all shy and blushing :D Thank you for your support and generosity @steemitqa! It really means a lot.
It would be amazing if you could join one or any meetup/SteemFest too, it’s pretty awesome <3 #steemat3dollars #fingerscrossed

Right? OMG it was a hard recovery. The flight alone kicked my ass, combined with the no sleep and too-many-people-to-hug/too-many-things-to-see problems, I was done for. I don't even know how you did it. Hats off to you, my friend.
All your points are great, and I hope the money comes through if you think you can pull it off. I'm not even planning for it. Bangkok is way too big a city for my taste, and as much as I want to explore Thailand and area, I want to do it over a month or so, with my family. I do think it's a great area for Steemfest, allowing Steemians from other places to attend, just not me this time around, I'm pretty sure. So glad I got to meet you in Poland!
Ha! It was easier for me than for you probably, you were basically arriving dead tired already from the journey, even before it started. Warm memories of seeing you sleep on an uncomfortable bench in the 'art room' though :D
Yes, I can imagine it's easier to immediately decide to not go. In your case, and I've heard more parents say this, it's the kind of journey you want to make with your family. Bangkok itself is something I want to see, for a short few days, after which I would love to explore quieter places/countrysides/islands :D It's probably too busy for me too, but then again, some really busy cities actually turn on my creativity. It really depends on the vibe.
Well, we got to meet in Poland, and I'm very sure more opportunities arise. With STEEM at 3$ this blog would have been an entirely different story :-) That also means with STEEM at 3$ I might just join random meet-ups in all other continents from time to time ;-)
Hugs!
Indeed! STEEM at $3 would make a lot of things more possible. Also, that bench was totally comfortable, I don't know what you're talking about. I was out for a good 2 hours. LOL!
:') You definitely made it LOOK comfortable. It was magical :D
It was magical. The whole week was magic. Such memories—like @gandalf at the mines, saying "You shall not pass!" and eating street food with @lukestokes and his beautiful family... So glad I was there. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
Me too. Heart-warming <3 It's especially those tiny moments that make for the extra special memories <3
I have never been to a steemfest. There will be SIN (Steem in Nigeria, i think it means) over here but i am not yet certain that i would attend. My constraint is mostly financial but there's also my instinctual distrust of people i have not met and the fact that i am shy in public.
It would be good to go though. To see people and exchange ideas with people who share a common purpose, for five whole days. August is a month away. We will see how it turns out. Still keeping hope alive.
YES! You should try to go @warpedpoetic! I promise you it will change your perspective on Steem and maybe even life itself. That sounds dramatic but I'm dead serious. People are a bit scary but I've noticed Steem people are pretty much okay and even awesome. Don't forget the journey you are sharing with all these Steemians that also have taken the courage to go to SIN. I hope you go <3
Hope you can do it... the same problem about money and time in here :( - But let's see, we never know and the chain is full of surprises
Thank you so much for participating in the Partiko Delegation Plan Round 1! We really appreciate your support! As part of the delegation benefits, we just gave you a 3.00% upvote! Together, let’s change the world!
The timing was horrible for me this year as the location was announced a week after I booked by European trip with the family. Although I could probably escape to participate, I would feel guilty of having an Asian trip for the first time without them!
Yes, I can imagine it feels like you would cheat a bit on your family by going to SteemFest without them. Then again... I do believe we can be selfish, even with a family, from time to time. Some things are important for the individual, which needs to be able to grow as well :-) Take your time to think about it!

I really hope you can figure a way to overcome the problems and come. But it's a tough call for sure.
Me too, me too! I can't really imagine not being there, but also noticed I'm not imagining myself being there either - which was different last year. There's some big hurdles to overcome for now.
I'm another one of the 'Not this year' guys. No chance. If I go to Thailand I want to thrash around the country side not check out the ant hill city. Even though my brother has a place in (not Bangkok but close) where I could stay.
I have some really good friends that thrashed Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam on 250 cc Scooters for about 3 months. That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, some journeys are just too big - and it's a far one for you too :-) Maybe next year we'll go a bit closer to you, Mexico has been mentioned a lot as a next year opportunity ;-)
