This is so resonant! Both in being here a long time, and seeing so much go down, but also in the unparalleled excitement and connection that if the fest. I only went to one, but honestly, would love to go again, as it was such a fun experience. Unmissable, if one has the resources. At this point, Mexico is feeling a little far out for me (but the fact that I'm still kinda half-hoping for a miracle goes to show how much I enjoyed the one I did attend).
Here's to hoping you get there and have a proper blast ;) And here's to double lives (done this way, 'cause it fucking rocks).
Where do you live? Internal US flights to San Diego would probs be no so outlandish. And there is a free pick up from San Diego airport i heard.
There is a few contests to win entrance and hotel too. 🤞 maybe apply? I live in Guatemala. I found round trip from Guatemala for 400$. But if i cross the border into Mexico via land, i found a 145$ round trip flight. So i think ill do that as its only 4 hours on a bus.
You were in krakow steemfest right? I was there… i loved that one.
Yes… double lives on the internet is indicative of these last few generations… i certainly get a kick out of it. Wonder what it will be like 100 years from now, after VR and AI are fully permeated… maybe our double lives will just be our actual lives as we sit in some pod…lol full matrix 🤣
Thanks for visiting my post, hope that miracle hivefest dream happens for you!
Eastern Europe, alas. Flights seem to be around $1000. Yeah, I've been thinking about trying my hand at the contests. That's how I ended up in Krakow a few years back, too. Got very lucky, I guess. A broke 19 year old could've never afforded it otherwise xD
That's not too bad! Lucky you.
I have this sort of idea about dreams, how that's our real life, and this is all just fake. But real life on the Internet, never thought of that. That's got potential for a story, I'd say xD
Yeah, there is 4 tickets up for grabs, and i just heard another contest is about to happen. Plus i think there is some way to apply for support.
You know what they say in this life. You just gotta take the leap…lol, they say a lot of other things too… but ya know.
If you are open ended in your life and you want to continue on… i am happy to offer the opportunity to volunteer at my place in Guatemala. Over the years, many hivians have visited and several have volunteered. We are a hostel/hotel at Lake atitlan, right at the shores.
We ask an 8 week commitment of vols. We provide accommodation and food.
We host between 5-8 volunteers at any time.
Anyway, just throwing around options. 😎
Oh, I'm someone deeply beholden to that type of thinking. :) Thank you for the idea/option. Genuinely going to consider this, as it's very up my alley. Right now, I'm tryna finish up my trilogy and work on that a bit. Still trying to figure out how that fits with my adventure-seeking self. But if the option is still available in a few months, you may hear from me :) Thank you.
PS: That view is lovely.
