That’s awesome you got to travel and attend conferences. For me it was really personal development and getting to know myself and self worth.

For me it was Digital Nomad Village Madeira in April - I don't think I've ever been more happy and productive than during that time this year.
It was the first time I'd engaged in programming since my bachelor's degree.
I started hating programming and sitting in front of my computer while writing my thesis in Computer Science and thought I'd never do it again - at least not for a very long time.
Writing my bachelor thesis was overwhelming - a period marked by pain, no sports, and relying on Huel (urgh.. ) because I simply didn't have the time to eat. But then, there I was, sitting on this beautiful island - and started coding again. And I realized, I actually love programming. It's just that I hate being forced into something.
And I remember jumping into the ocean after work 🌊
That was the best feeling.
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika https://digitalnomads.startupmad... this is on Madeira, also have been to this one in Italy https://en.tursidigitalnomads.com/ - I really like these gatherings of digital nomads.
2023 was the year cultures started to question and look deeper at the technologies they're using and to make changes in how they use them. This will lead to significant shifts in 2024 through 2025. From social media to productivity tools.
For me there were a few. Turning 40, recording a track which I’m yet to release, attending my first ever virtual event as a guest speaker… 😊
@simona_o_neill3 A track as in music? 👀 WOW!
I am actually quite introverted, I have never thought of pursuing music. The amount of training and bravery that takes is super commendable, Simona. I really hope you get to release your work soon!! ✨
@jacob_boston thank you 🙏🏻. I started studying music from a really young age and it stuck with me. It’s my favourite creative outlet. I love writing acoustic songs, but the one I just recorded is actually a dance tune 😀💃🕺
@busmark_w_nika it was a Video Prospecting Summit 2023 😊
@simona_o_neill3 That is so awesome, congrats on it all! I wish I was musically or artistically inclined, I can't even draw stick figures in recognizable shapes 🤷♂️🤣
@reconcatlord lol awhhh come on, I'm sure that you have at least one talent! Everyone does and I truly believe that 🤗
It happened pretty early into the year but it was actually one of the few NYE resolutions I completed this year: I won a pitch competition finally. It wasn't a large amount, in fact it was only $250, but it really meant a lot to me and gave me a huge confidence boost.
Traveling is always amazing especially when you visit new places, I bet Slush was really great. My highlight was probably earlier in the year when I got the news I was accepted into my accelerated graduate program, I wasn't sure it would happen, so it was a nice a great moment!
Honestly, this year has been full of surprises. I was able to publish a few journals, present as an AI expert, meet amazing people to introduce to my business, build a hardworking team who are just as passionate as I am for AI and our vision. Really can't pick one thing, this year has been nothing short of a blessing. 🙏
For you Nika, what were the top 2 places/events that you were able to travel to?
Time really goes fast! For me it was making some major decisions this year and stepping out of my comfort zone. Looking forward to read from the others!
@matej_cabadaj Congrats man, I completely understand. For every opportunity comes a little discomfort because we should grow into that new space. Cheering for you though. Starting really is the biggest part and you've done that. 💪
PixelFree Studio
My highlight for this year was starting to work for pixelfreestudio at the end of this year. I'm glad to work as a developer in this Start-Up. I'm looking forward to new responsibilities this year.
