Whaaattt week 10?!? I know I keep saying this... but where has the time gone?!?.. 3 weeks.. sheesh, I’m not sure I’m ready. 😂
Ok, ok.. so, SteemFest huh? We are just over 3 weeks away from SteemFest 3 in Kraków, Poland and this #Roadtosteemfest is a fun initiative by the one and only 
Oh right, the main idea of this dynamic is to get to know each other a bit more before meeting in person and then, when we actually meet it won't be awkward and we won't have weird silences but instead, it will be like two friends meeting after a long time of not seeing each other.
Currently I am pretty set for the trip, I finally got my passport in, flight and hotel are booked as well as the actual ticket to the conference purchased. I am still steeming away with all rewards going to fund the trip and am still confident in my ability to pay for the trip fully with Steem... even if it takes a bit longer than planned.
I cannot thank everyone enough for the insane amount of support I have received lately, it’s even allowed me to pay it forward a bit, which is something that has always been important to me...so thank you ❤️. Thank you for supporting my insane ideas, my passion that gets me in trouble sometimes and just me.. and the mess that I am. Many on this platform have become an important part of my daily life, friends and even family in a way... you guys mean a lot to me and I hope to one day meet you all 🤗.
A few months ago I would have never guessed the adventure I am on.. and your support and encouragement has made this all possible, and it means a lot.
Ok.. enough gushing? Sorry.. you know me.. passion flows from my soul that a rapid river 🤷♀️
On to the theme!
I´ve seen a lot of shout outs throughout all the posts from people who join this little dynamic every week and since we´ve all read about each other for quite a while - and also since the main purpose of this dynamic is to get to know each other better before meeting in person in Krakow - well, what better way to actually prove we´ve been reading about each other and that we actually want to meet other people... why don´t we shout-out some names we can´t wait to put a face to the username.
Well, I hate tagging people.. I very rarely do it.. but Eric is forcing us so you guys will just have to forgive me 😜
There are sooo many people I am excited to meet, some I didn’t even realize were going and many I probably still don’t know are going haha. But, I’m gonna try to keep the the tagging to those I have had contact with so I don’t go super stalker on everyone 😍
The PAL server was my first home on discord.. it’s where I learned the ins and outs of Steem and probably one of the main reasons I stuck around... the people won me over almost immediately. Those relationships I built are still going strong and I will always be thankful for the support shown to me, as well as the friendships. So, I was thrilled to find out that at least a few of the family will be in Kraków.
@Meno - I am so thrilled that Meno will be making the trip (thanks to 
@Soyrosa - Well, if you haven’t heard.. I found my SteemFest soulmate! I cannot believe how much we have in common lol. I’m super excited to meet her, enjoy some wine while accepting that we will just never be overly social bubbly individuals... and well.. that’s ok 😂. We will have wine... and photography, exploring and just chilling in corners while people watching. Don’t let us fool you, we will be the life of the party.. it will just be our own party. See you soon girl!
@Evecab - I’m hoping meeting evecab will mean death by hugs, and not death by clubbing... I won’t be able to keep up with the partying haha. In all seriousness this lovely lady had such a kind heart and does a lot to lift others on this platform, I’m thrilled to be meeting her and getting to know each other better.
@Tarazkp - Arguably one of the best content creators on the platform, this guy has the ability to write in such a poetic way that he makes me feel like I’m reading one of my favorite books. And he does that many times a day!! Maybe he can teach me some of his ways... or at least some dance moves. Either way, I’m excited to meet him.
I’m not gonna tag him.. but I’m secretly excited to meet gtg... I mean, not only does he do a ton for the platform but his freaking name is Gandolf The Grey!!! I mean, as a LOTRs dork.. this just needs to happen.. 🧝🏼♀️
There are so many people I am excited to meet.. and more that I’m sure I won’t even know until I get there. I’m so excited to meet you all, talk Steem and go on this adventure together...
Much Love and Steem On,
Justine
