Hey there.
I’ve been blogging on Steemit non-stop since July, 2016. I’m blogging full-time now, and promoting my brand, Voluntary Japan, which is an online and off initiative to spread the philosophy of non-violent/consensual human interaction, unschooling, self-sufficiency, and free markets.
Steemit has made what I am currently doing possible. As such, my wife and I have been promoting the platform bilingually here in Japan. There is now a circle of about 10 users in my small city. Of course there are many more in Tokyo.
I’m located in Japan, so I also put forth a cultural perspective based on these topics.
My wife and I volunteer at a local free school (student directed learning), nursing homes, and community centers. I also help out a friend down in Nagano in his farm. He’s a permaculturist and a voluntaryist as well.
Basically, I would like to go to Steemfest to network, as this has now become essential to me. I have a great many ideas that I am want to bring into fruition. This would be an excellent opportunity, and I would be much obliged.
Thank you, and thanks for the killer contest!
