The Cambodian Excursion
As some of you guys may know, I've been living it up in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for the last 15 months. This is longer than I've ever been anywhere outside of Texas. That totally make me sound like a good ol' boy and is kinda funny when I think about it. Still, after all the fun and growth, it's definitely time to head back home to the USA and see my parents and friends again. They've all been completely DEVASTATED and unable to move forward in their lives since I've been gone, so it will be good to return and give them hope again.
Buckets and buckets of hope on that face
The Steem Travel Network
As I've been making my travel plans, I got to thinking about @papa-pepper post on on Steem B&B and I got to thinking how cool it could be to make some actual travel arrangement with Steem! What if instead of moving all cash around and booking flights etc, there was a way to trade through the Steemit community for help with travel tickets and stuff. I think it'd be cool to keep most of the transactions in house.
In my mind, it works like this: I'd find a ticket to somewhere. Someone would buy the ticket with fiat currency, and I'd pay them for the ticket along with a service charge in SBD.
The Skills That Pay...
Since I'm able to generate currency based on my involvement with the platform as a writer and content creator, a Steem Travel Network would be a fantastic way for me to get around by "shaking what my momma gave me" rather than working more odd jobs to generate the fiat cash directly. Plus we'd get the added bonus of inventing new elements of trade and commerce in our own Steem Economy or #Steemconomy
So if that sounds like a great idea, or is already happening, or wouldn't work sound off and let me know. Till then, I'm going back to work at this guesthouse this morning and stockpile that cash. Even if we only set it up to do small scale tickets like short bus rides rather than transcontinental stuff, it could be a great way to generate currency and help fellow steemians out.
