Thanks for sharing the story, @shaka! For me this is also a good example, why steemit is so special.
I never did something similar before: Responding to a post, where someone wanted me to send him to a place of my choice. Then getting this special message back. At that moment it was clear, that I had to build on that and show you at steemfest. I mean, steemit is really a lot about collaboration and that's amazing.
I was very pleased to meet you (and so many talented people) at steemfest and my confidence in being part of something great truly skyrocketed.
Thanks for sharing your view on this @shortcut. I fully agree, it´s the collaborative spirit that glues us together. Whatever the approach is to get in contact with other Steemians, we are joined by the conviction that we are part of a community that will grow into something enormous...
Was a real pleasure meeting you in person @shortcut!
