LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... drumroll please... THE DAY HAS COME! 🎉🐝
Buzzparty 2025 is officially starting TODAY in Graz!! Or shall we say... the Hive Creator Days! 💛
What more could me and my lovely husband wish for? We live here, so there’s ZERO excuse to skip out! Some of you already arrived yesterday (yes yes, overachievers 😜), and we were like – so close, yet soooo far. Why? Because of course something had to happen... I ended up staying longer at work. Classic. 🙄
Also – shocking news – I might not be 22 anymore?? Because going out late AND learning something new the next morning? Let’s just say… not my best combo 😂 But I want to be a good student, okay? Better late than never! My teachers would cry if they saw how motivated I am now. 😅
So! No worries...I’m FRESH and READY for today 💃
I even studied the schedule this morning, just to make sure I don’t end up in the wrong building again (which has definitely happened before, don’t judge). I mean, I’ve lived here for years, but Graz is still confusing sometimes. It’s the second biggest city in Austria – which means… BIG 😅
Good news: if I read it right, all the blue-zone parking spots are FREE today! (Yaaay holiday perks!) So finding a tiny parking hole shouldn’t be a problem. Unless of course, everyone in Austria decides to visit Graz today. But no panic...I believe in our luck 🍀
For those of you coming by train or bus – you’ll be fine! Stations are everywhere. And if you like walking, you’re in for a treat. (But we’re driving. And no, I’m not allowed to drive. And by that I mean – thank goodness, because parallel parking is evil.)
Some of you already posted how the next 4 days are gonna go (thank you, schedule fairies 💕), but I guess we’ll go through everything again today and get the official info.
These next 4 days look AWESOME, and I just know we’re gonna have the best time 🤩
Let’s look at the plan @reiseamateur posted:
TODAY – kick-off at 3PM!
Okay okay, I say 3... but maybe a bit before? Maybe after? I live super close, which weirdly makes it even harder to be on time 😅 (Punctuality is not my special talent, okay? Don’t come for me!)
We’re meeting at SPACELEND – Coworking Space Graz. Doors open at 14:30! It’s right by the Mur river, which means – yep – it’s gorgeous 😍 Perfect for a walk (or a deep breath before all the socializing begins).
I’m super excited to meet you all! Let’s chat, share projects, laugh, welcome newcomers, and just enjoy the vibes 🐝💬
Tonight’s dinner?
YES PLEASE. Austrian food, here we come! I hope not too many of you are vegetarians because – sorry, but if you skip the Wiener Schnitzel, you’re missing out on pure joy 😋
Friday, May 2 – 9:30 AM sharp!
(Yes yes, I’m a morning person – so I promise not to be grumpy!)
The whole day is packed with cool topics and workshops. From 9:30 to 17:00, it’ll fly by like poof! And then... more food? YES AGAIN. Happy tummies incoming 😁
Saturday, May 3 – Social & Activity Day!
We start at 10:00 with a hike on Schlossberg! Look, I’ve said it before: I hate walking... but since we’re picking up trash and saving the world one wrapper at a time – I’m IN 💪
Also: I'm super competitive. So yes, let’s WIN the trash-picking championship 🏆
The view from up there? Absolutely worth it. Graz from above is pure magic ✨
Then we lunch at a restaurant I already know and LOVE. Get ready for some yum!
And now – drumroll again – the way down:
You can also slide! Yup, real adult fun – a slide down the hill! Wheeeeee 😆
Use your free time after to explore Graz...it’s stunning, I promise!
Evening? We go to a Buschenschank. Trust me, you NEED this in your life. Wine, vibes, amazing views – Austrian countryside style 🍷🌄
Beer Saturday 🍻
Yes. Beer. Good beer. Austrian beer. I’ll try to have energy, I promise! (Even though I’m better in the mornings, I’ll survive for beer 🍺)
Sunday = Goodbye day 😢
Let’s meet up for a goodbye breakfast and hug it out before we all fly away. It’s gonna be emotional (but with coffee, so it’s okay).
I’m SO READY 😍
See you all super soon (hopefully not too late 😉)
Let the BUZZPARTY BEGIN! 🐝🎉💛
With love, @tinabrezpike ❤️
