Yes, the costs are huge ofcourse! That's why I always recommend people to save up for the next year, it can be done by adding Hive or HBD into savings, just a percentage of your blog earnings :-)
I'm sure you're preparing?
There's not much to prepare, it's in my country, a 30 minute train ride from my home :-)
How have you been lately?
Very good and very busy! I read and write so much that I have no energy left for adding or reading more words on Hive unfortunately :-( Don't really know how to balance that out better, but hey, it's for a good goal :-)
How have you been yourself?
RE: Are you preparing for HiveFest in Amsterdam? What are your challenges or thoughts about joining this year?
