My experience at STEEMFest in Bangkok was a whirlwind. From to travel to Thailand, to the events, to my time in Bangkok, it never seemed to stop. I would not trade it for the world, and only wish I had been better rested and more able to mingle.
I am so glad for those STEEMers I was able to see again, and those I newly met. Being around the people who care enough to make the trip was a special pleasure for me.
The learning I did was astonishing. I found out about projects I never heard of, and got new insight to some I already did know about. This information is invaluable to me and would not have happened in any other way. I have long lists of tasks from STEEMFest and ideas for posts. It’s now just a matter of getting to them.
My vision for 2020 includes my attendance at the next STEEMFest no matter where in the world it may be. I am so impressed with many of the projects people are working on and anticipate them succeeding by the time of the next Fest. I plan to be a part of many of those projects by posting to them and promoting them.
I am very bullish on STEEM and now I have STEEMFest gives me renewed faith. There is nothing like hanging out with a bunch of true believers to get motivation going again.
This is my entry for the last @blocktrades contest from @anomadsoul and I am in under the wire; entering on the last day. I’ve been really sick since returning, and I was hoping to feel better, but instead I am not improving. Nothing to do but to post anyway :)
Here are my answers to some of the questions asked in the contest entry post:
What are the positive aspects of the SF?
- I got a huge amount of information on topics I did not know about and also those I was only somewhat aware of.
- Certain misconceptions I had are now cleared up.
- I know a lot of ideas to pass on with my minnow tips to help others succeed.
- I met many STEEMers in person that I was already connected with and many that I was not.
- I have many more followers and upvoters now.
- I got to see a lot of Bangkok I missed while living there.
What did you like?
- the food
- the friendship
- the conversation
- the events
- the brain dump
- the feeling of camaraderie
What didn't you like?
- feeling too sick, tired, and weak to be at my best
- the many, many expensive taxi rides to the wrong place.
- too short!
Would you wish things would've been different?
- more communal transport to places off the beaten track. What was offered was wonderful and much appreciated.
What would you have changed?
I would change the check in and drinks to Tuesday. Then Wednesday would be a half day afternoon session and then dinner. Most people are traveling very far to get to the event, and this extra day would help.
All in all, I have no complaints, and only gratitude for my chance to attend STEEMFest this year. I will see you next year for sure.
