I recently attended Anarchapulco 2018 and made the 40 hour flight from Bali, Indonesia. There's a good chance that I traveled further than anyone else to attend this year and I won't miss this conference for anything.
This was my 3rd year (and the conference's 4th year running) and this was BY FAR the largest turnout ever. The first year I went, there were probably 300 people (in 2016). Last year maybe 500 ppl (in 2017) and this year there were easily 1500 people in attendance!! Simply amazing.
In past years, I was a speaker and presented in 2016 on "How to build your business with Virtual Assistants". Many of you know that I am the Founder/CEO of Liberty Virtual Assistants and specialize in helping crypto/blockchain teams quickly hire experienced and afordable customer services representatives. Check us out :) (shameless plug) https://www.LibertyVAs.com
In 2017, I spoke on Anarchy 3.0 - Building Freedom through Entrepreneurship and it may have been my best presentation every. I recorded it for your viewing pleasure ;)
This year I was only a spectator and really enjoyed the lower stress and ability to float around and take it easy. I met so many Steemian friends and here's a few pics!
Here's @emancipatedhuman and I hanging at the lobby bar

Some ppl that I hung with but didn't get pictures with were @jeffberwick (aka @dollarvigilante), @jamesc, @adamkokesh, @healthiswealth, @slickwilly, @broncnutz (who let me know all about the VICE token and project).
Here's a few more pics from the resort, which was AMAZING!

The lobby bar was where most of my networking was done ;)

Check out the flamingo!
And then there was a peacock! Check out that tail...
And last but def not least, the amazing artist who rocked out several beautiful paintings while we enjoyed the conference presentations
So that's it! If you were there and I didn't see you, please a comment and say hi! Jeff Berwick came and hung for a bit towards the end and said that he'd like for me to speak next year at Anarchapulco 2019 and you better believe i'll be there.
Let's strive for peace, freedom and ANARCHY in 2018!!
In Liberty,
Ashe
