A big part of traveling to the NostrWorld unconferences (Nostrica, Nostrasia and now Nostriga) are the adventures encountered in getting there. 

There's the fly in fly out way or the backroad scenic stop route. Choosing the later as I have for two of three of the events has tested this travelers metal. Forging and hardening with each challenge and strange encounter.

From being violently mugged in Belize City (in broad daylight) to Airlines refusing to check a large case (needed for work related) to being hopelessly lost in Shinjuku Station trying to simply get outside 😅

I don't lament or seek empathy, I proudly take these as part of the "work". I am better for the experience, more savvy, more discerning but still embrace a childlike optimism for what this effort is working towards.

We are creating a brighter path and future for those that will choose to follow our lead. It's work, it's sometimes thankless but it's absolutely necessary.

Please share the love with the fabulous volunteers who are doing the hard work behind the scenes. When you see them or in a note of thanks (a la Lyn Alden's reminder). Gratitude and an appreciation for their work goes a long long way.

Looking forward too seeing you all in Riga for this the third #NostrWorld event.

🫡 Onward!
