RE: One up, One Down Steemit Networking Challenge #1

I really want to visit Europe. I made it to London a couple of years ago, but it was a work trip and I wasn't able to visit the continent.

Hey, @josephsavage.

My wife is really interested in going to Europe, too. As I've told some others here, she really wants to visit some castles. Not sure why. :)

If we went, I'd really like to go to places along the Mediterranean. I'm thinking it would be nicer weather through there and lots of good food. I suppose there's plenty of that regardless of where you go in Europe. Good food I mean.

Any chance you'll get to go anytime soon? Or is this something that will take some time to work toward?

Not sure on timeline. We've talked about going for our five-year anniversary, which is three years away. We have a lot tied up in crypto, though. So a good bull run could open some possibilities even sooner.

Oh, wow. Two years married, eh? At least, I'm guessing that's the anniversary you're talking about. Sounds like a great idea.

Well, I keep hearing there's supposed to be some kind of run up taking place the closer we get to the end of the year. They seem pretty confident about it, too, so who knows. The fun is trying to figure out when the bull run is going bear so you can get some out at the top.

Well, I hope one way or another it all works out for you.

I keep hearing that too, but it's been a little slow to start. To be honest, I think there is still tax overhang. The 'smart money' filed extensions instead of filing taxes, to see if the guidance around crypto profits clears up at all. Technically the money is still due right away, but the 'penalties' for late payment are minimal if you pay within the six-month extension period.

Which means there are still traders taking profits (or waiting for a little recovery to take profits) to cover their taxes. That won't really clear up entirely until mid-October.

Asher lives in the mediterranean

Yeah, I threatened a while ago to just crash at his place if I somehow made it there. The southern part of California has a similar climate, which is very nice (we lived there for four years, give or take), so I'm thinking I'd like the weather a lot.

My sister has been to Ireland, my mother has been to Poland and other countries in Europe. I've been to France once for a school exchange. There are a lot of nice places to visit. My mother prefers the no guide route, where she decides on the spur of the moment where to go, where to stay, how to get there and what to do next. My dad preferred the guided tour way and to plan things out in advance. When my parents were still together is when they went to Europe. It must have been an interesting trip lol but my mom has very fond memories from visiting many countries there.

I really enjoy guided tours for the way they remove the hassle of planning everything. I also like to take my time and explore, but I tend to do less touristy things when I go that way. Like visiting little cafes or spending the whole afternoon in a record store or art gallery instead of going to the major attractions.

Sometimes you can find little gems just chilling in local areas rather than sightseeing. Both are fun to do.

Do you know I have never done guided tours. Now with two kids, most of our holidays are 'resort' and 'waterpark' holidays

Makes sense. Waterparks are fun for kids. I remember going to Merine Land as a kid, it was fun. My mom used to freak out on the little lady bug ride, screaming more than us lol

Europe - some parts are awesome heheheh Ireland is the best place

I spent a lot of my younger years in Scotland, which I've heard people say it quite similar, but I bet Ireland is a lot more green and less barren. My ex-husband's family is from Donegal, but I never made it yet. I should try to get there one day. It's just on my doorstep after all.

just on your doorstep and you have never been, well that is a pity really. Maybe one day :-)

Ireland is one of the places that my wife most wants to visit.
