@karensuestudios and I reminisce about our very uplifting trip and how Steem ended up playing such a special part in it! 

I hadn't been on a vacation for years now as I had been working pretty much non stop for more than 10 years at a chicken slaughterhouse, and then became a full time Steemians in July 2017, and when I wasn't working, I would just hang out at home and try to advance a pretty [cool project](https://steemit.com/money/@teamsteem/the-ultimate-steem-book-i-m-writing-a-book-and-i-ll-publish-it-chapter-by-chapter-on-steem-9-min-read) on which I'm still working on.

There hasn't been a day I haven't posted since @karensuestudios left. Before our trip, I used to browse 20-30  different websites daily, and even though visiting these were quite fun and informative, I feel better now that I that I don't browse those sites as much as I used to. 

New friends can help us create new habits, acquire new knowledge and make some more new friends. Friends and the way we relate to each other define who we are. And in that sense, Steem helps a lot, as Steem connect us in a way no other social platform or currency can. 

**Cryptocurrencies Make The World Go Round!**

Cryptocurrencies are giving rise to a radically different and better way of managing our disagreements, a more peaceful and constructive way than what most people are used to today and Steem is only one truly life-changing cryptocurrencies among many others.  

I write about health and happiness, and everything in between. I can't quite figure out what this whole reality means but in the end, it's really awe-inspiring, and exhilarating.  That being said, I'm not forgetting the less fortunate, and I'm always looking to help where I can. 

And even though this world is unfathomably beautiful, let's steemit to make it even better, to make it a world where honest and kind people are the rule not the exception.
