Its been a while since I talked about Steemfest 3 and those of you who follow me on here you will probably know I don't believe in not having goals, moving always forward, and so with the previous Steem goal already accomplished I thank all those who voted on me and made buying my mom's birthday gift a reality.

While I have many others goals to look forward to if the title didn't give it away my next goal would obviously be Steemfest 3.

I actually attended the 2nd Steemfest event in Lisbon 2017 and wow guys I prefer to call it a "amazing experience" than say it was a event, it was definitely very exclusive just like Hive account@roelandp promised and wanted.

And if Hive account@roelandp could top off the experience I had in Portugal which is really not necessary but I would indeed be in disbelief, oh and whoops if you dont know Hive account@roelandp he is the Steemfest main organiser and a witness here on Steemit, yes the guy pictured with me above.

Anyway the point is I would like to be able to attend Steemfest3 that is my goal right now.

If you don't know the event is being held in Poland, Krakow during the beginning of November.

The last Steemfest event I was only able to attend because of upvotes and donations from other Steemians which I am still very grateful for to this day.

Now if you remember on my previous post I mentioned that I couldn't confirm anything about going to Steemfest 3 until atleast the ticket prices were announced.
If you didn't know this has now happened and you can learn the ticket prices at the Steemfest3 official website here: https://steemfest.com/

I had some discussions with some friends of mine and most told me and were fully convinced since the event is being hosted in Poland everything would be cheaper.

My reaction to this was I told them "not necessarily" as there are many many factor to take into consideration.

I knew this already from just common sense and have having some understanding on how Steemit works.
But I had also remember having a conversation with Hive account@roelandp about the previous Steemfest 2 in Lisbon and he highlighted many other things I didn't even consider, so thank you for that Hive account@roelandp

Anyway it turns out I was right and the ticket price this time around is more expensive then the previous not only that but ticket prices will soon be going up in price over the next 11 days. "yikes!"

I understand why Hive account@roelandp made the decision to go down this route and I personally think it was wise, but it does make it more difficult to get the money needed ready for the event, regardless of this I wont be giving up in trying to get the funds needed to make it this year.

My biggest concern is with the Steem price, right now while I love the fact that its easier to buy Steem and getting more SP into your account its devastating for gaining any real funds for getting myself to the Steemfest3 event.

The thing is you just never know when the price could suddenly change and for now I will keep on trying.

So again thank you to everybody who made it happen the last time which was literally by the skin of one's teeth, and yeah if anybody can give any extra upvotes for making this happen again it will be much appreciated.

Also if you are attending and I am lucky enough to be there I will see you at the party!
