Steemfest 3
So I was talking to @vladivostok today about Steemfest today and he was telling me that he was going and how cool it was going to be. I have been wanting to go and trying to find a way to get to Poland so that I could attend. Every time I have checked on flights to get there it has always been around $1200 to $1500 just for the flight alone.
In some of my photography classes, my instructors travel a lot so they gave us some tips on getting some good deals on airfare. One of the tips was to use incognito mode on your Google Chrome browser when you are using Expedia or any of the other travel sites, since the incognito mode doesn't access your cookies or store any personal information.
So I opened an incognito browser and checked Expedia again for flights plus hotel for the duration of Steemfest. Well I was able to find airfare and a hotel for the time for hundreds of dollars less than what the cheapest flight before was. Needles to say I asked permission from the my wife before booking it all, but it is done.
My flights and hotels are booked!
But that isn't the end of my journey to Steemfest. I still need to get a ticket to get in. I am a minnow on Steemit and it looks like my ticket is 333.33 Euros, so I will be raising funds over the next few weeks to get my ticket. You can also use Steem to purchase the tickets which is pretty awesome.
I will gladly take any donations or upvotes if you want to help jumpstart this thing and get it going. I am going to be doing Steemfest Fundraising posts over the course of the next month or so until the price goes up for the tickets. Hopefully by then I will have raised enough Steem to purchase my ticket to mingle with everyone that is going.
I am looking forward to making some awesome videos of the event and taking pictures of everyone that is there. I love meeting the people that make this platform such an awesome place to be and this is going to be a great time. I am glad that @vladivostok talked me into going. This is going to be an amazing time. Plus I have never been to Poland, so it will be a cool stamp on my Passport.
