I known why @heiditravels ditched @fyrstikken!

in #travel8 years ago
As Vanilla Ice quoted "Drop that zero and get with the hero",

this time the hero not being a person but a place,  Cape Town.

Once hearing of Heidi traveling to Cape Town via Istanbul, as a proud ambassador of my country, i wanted to meetup and that’s what we did.

You see @fyrstikken, it doesn't take dissing, being ugly but simply inviting for a bite and beer with allot of friendliness. One resolution from early 2016 that resides with me is 'Don't be a Dick', yip.

I don't have any photo's from the meetup nor did i use the meetup to gain popularity or Steem, I used the opportunity and interest to meetup with a fellow traveler, to de-myth some South African negative views and yeah to have a good excuse to grab a cold beer and burger, Oh and make a couple new friends too :)

What did i learn from this experience?

  • Heidi is cool
  • I love my country.
  • I want to travel more.

I committed to Heidi that in 10 months i would be perusing my goals, time set & committed.

PS: Only evidence i have of the meetup is the below;

Sort:  

hopefully I will try to see her in Egypt end of the month if the timing is right.-she comes across as a great person and with lots of interesting things to talk about.

Awesome - yeah make the effort - Heidi is cool and i also know how it is when traveling, always gr8 receiving some local advice.

This is how Steemit should be working.

& @haiditravels or anyone In case you are changing planes in Dubai, will buy you beer :)

Good to know, agree, our community is so much bigger than just this platform

"One resolution from early 2016 that resides with me is 'Don't be a Dick', yip."

+1 Gordob. I resonate with this.

I think fyrstikken may have reacted a bit over the top on all of this.
Not sure further witch hunting the guy is needed though. I think he feels poorly enough about it now that he's had time to cool down.

Yo Klye, a little tongue and cheek in this post but 2 messages i think important are;

  1. If you are that Zero, make every effort not to be, people don't dig it
  2. Every citizen should be an ambassador for there own country
