Steem Fest 3 – Change of Plans?

Originally my general roadmap after getting out of my civil service in 30.8, was to bike around in Finland, heading towards north Lapland where I would've maybe gotten a job to spend the winter, and then biking through Norway the next year. But getting the information of the next Steem Fest, which this year is located in Poland, Krakow, I've been thinking. And for now I've reached the conclusion that at least the part where I bike to Lapland this year, has to change, because I cannot do that and at the same time get to Poland in the South from where I live, without it becoming unnecessarily expensive for me.

So yes, that means that I'm coming to Steem Fest 3.

^{Fuck, I said it, I guess now I really have to, haha.}

The main reason for this, I think, is that Poland is so close that I don't think I would like to miss the opportunity – it's relatively short way from Finland. I don't want to promise anything, but I'll join @Tarazkp and @abh12345 with saying that I'll be there with 90% certainty, at least.

Oh God, I have to get my thoughts sorted out with this. I'm pretty excited about this, I have already been in a small meet-up of a Danger Zone chat group earlier this year in May, so I'm not that nervous about it, but oh damn does it get my mind flying.

So, now the roadmap looks something more like Biking around in Finland, then to Poland. Everything else is still a question mark. It actually goes quite nicely because I have circa two months after the end of my service until the Steem Fest so I'll have plenty enough time to roam around here before I get my way to Poland.

Now, the question still is that "how am I getting to Poland?" First I thought about biking, but getting back home would be one cold trip. Well, I guess I could head towards south after the Steem Fest, but that would be quite the adventure I'd put myself in as I only have a finite supply of fiat even though they keep printing more, well, actually the creation of money mainly happens by lending, but I'm no expert so don't listen to me. I'll certainly have some tricks to not spend a lot on my adventures and I'd probably be able to spend the winter in the South if I really wanted. The alternative method is hitchhiking. But ultimately the transportation method will be chosen closer to the event itself.

Partly why I'm feeling decently confident about this, is that from the previous small meet-up that I mentioned I've gotten some connections, and I know that @eveuncovered and @escapist, my fellow two Finns who were also in the Estonia meetup, are certain to be in SF3, so I'm not going to completely lost there by myself knowing some people. But I'm probably going to be lost a little bit anyway though... it's ok.

Anyway, I've really enjoyed reading all the other freewrites on the #roadtosteemfest, great idea @anomadsoul! I guess I'll have to say "See you in Steem Fest!" _Yikes!

PS. Fuck, I already forgot I have to get the ticket to the event, hopefully it won't cost too much. I have a feeling I'm going to be quite salty when I see the price of it, no matter what it is. I guess I'll have to try win some competition to alleviate the great pain inside me, or start saving up SBD's from post payouts to cover some of the expenses.
