It's the festive time of the year and lots of people are gearing up for Christmas. I'm also in a celebratory mode but before we even start the Christmas celebration, we decided to take a short break.
This year has been both stressful and awesome in many regards. My personal life, finances and lifestyle all took a major boost thanks to Hive.
I invested in Cub, Splinterlands and many other projects. I got more attention from the community and earn more from my posts.
Honestly, there's just so much to be grateful for. Alas, there's still a long way to go but that doesn't mean there's no time to let my hair down and so we decided to visit Abuja.
Visiting Abuja
We had actually planned to visit Abuja for a while now but we somehow always stalled the decision. One time, it was because we wanted to see a movie and another time it was because we wanted to go sight seeing.
After all the dithering, we finally got ourselves together and made the trip. The whole journey was cumulatively 3.5 hours including a 1 hour road trip to the train station and a 2.5 hour train ride to Abuja.
Anyway, we're going to relax and hopefully see a few nice places. Personally, I also like the idea of getting away from my office and just seeing something different frim Kaduna.
Hive Meetup Scouting
In the Nigerian Hive community, we ran a poll anout different locations that we coukd host a Hive meetup and i votes for Abuja. I think there's a big Hive community there than in Kaduna, so I picked there.
This trip gives me the opportunity to get a lay of the land in the event the meetup holds. Also, the train station has been acting shady recently, so this trip gives us the chance to figure out how things work.
Still alert
Despite being on a break, I'm still going to be alert and stay up to date with avtivities. I've already ended my Splinterlands streak, and that was really difficult for me, so I'm not ready to break my content writing streak.
I'll be watching market activities and try to keep my finger on the pulse. Although i dont think I'll be completely available, as I intend to only touch crytpo stuff in the evening.
With that said, I'm going to meetup with 
My entire life seems to be about crypto and you know what? Thats not a bad thing.
This whole trip was sponsored by crypto. Everything I intend to do in Abuja is sponsored by crypto, so there's really no reason why I shouldnt continue being about the crypto life.
I won't be playing Splinterlands and that's a bummer but at least it gives me spare time for other activities. I want to refresh my batteries, eat something exotic and just enjoy the moment.
