One week less until Steemfest3 launches, that means one more topic for 鈥榮 #roadtosteemfest series. Definitely interesting to read about lay Steemians who will be joining, especially since there are names I have known for a long time but who I literally know nothing about. But this week鈥榮 topic is not about the people themselves, but rather about their trip to Krakau.
For me planing just started, since I only know for a few days that I fortunately will be able to join this event we all are looking forward to. A huge factor for that decision was obviously my ticket-win in 鈥榮 ticket giveaway, which gives me way more monetary flexibility regarding the actual trip and accomodation in Krakow. This is what I have planned so far:
From where are you going to Krakow?
From Upper Austria, my flatrate-train-card will get me to Vienna airport for free, from there I am going to take a plane to Krakow. I have heard rumours that it is a little hard to get to the city from there?! Well, guess I will have to deal with that later. For now I am just happy that I found a cheap flight. Being allowed to only take small luggage with me might be a nightmare for people form other continents or some chics, but for me it's fine I guess. If you should see me in the same clothes every day, you now know why 馃槵
Do you have to take 2 planes and 3 boats to get to Poland?
Travelling to Vienna with a boat via the Danube might be possible, but I am gonna miss my flight for 100% then. Plus pay more. So I ain't gonna do that^^And fortunately one plane is enough.
Are you coming alone or are you bringing your 3 kids, the dog and the parrot?
If nobody surprises me the next few weeks, I should have no kids by the time Steemfest takes place - And since I also don't plan on kidnapping some, I can't offer kids at Steemfest - sorry 馃お And I also can't take our dog, my mum would kill me. But I can offer a picture:
Where are you staying in Krakow?
I honestly don't know yet - For now the fact that I will be in Krakow is good enough :)
Are you staying in one of the hotels with your partner? Is it the fancy one?
Even if I would get into a serious relationship within the next few weeks, I probably wouldn't choose a meetup with some strangers from the internet as destination for the first holidays together. Sorry Steemians, don't take it personally 馃槄
Do you prefer a lie budget hostel to be able to spend more in beers late at night?
I sure prefer to not spend a ton of money on my bed. I am one of those people that can sleep in a car while there head is banging against the window. Travelling to Vienna by train a few times a week for years has definitely trained my skills to sleep in suboptimal circumstances. The main things I will look for will be walking distance to important stuff and breakfast. So if you have to offer a couch in your apartment and want to save money - I might be your man ;)
TL&DR:
I am coming by plane from Vienna, will stay from Wednesday to Sunday and don't have a bed yet! And I neither bring kids, girlfriends nor animals with me!
Looking forward to see where all of you will start your journey to Krakow. But the most important thing is that we will share the destination of travel :)
See you in Krakow,
Martin
