Using Steemit to plan a surprise trip when in a long distance relationship

My girlfriend used to visit her family every summer. Every winter. Well, the part of her family that doesn’t live here. About 10 weeks each time. I respect her decision to visit her family and friends but those were tough times nonetheless.

Now, I can only imagine what it must feel like for couples being apart for multiple months. On a regular basis. The imagination of such a scenario makes me admire those who manage to pull it off.

It can get especially difficult if you don’t have time to visit each other. Or worse, lack the financial means to do so. Who knows what kind of battles everyone has to face. Travelling around the globe isn’t feasible for most. So, you end up celebrating birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s apart.

But this can change.

If you ever fantasized about surprising your significant other with a visit, Steemit can totally help.

Here are a couple things necessary to make this a success.

• In the best case scenario, your partner doesn’t know about Steemit at all. The second best case is that he/she doesn’t check it often or know that you post on it. The first case is desirable for this stunt.

• Next up you would need to tell a compelling story. Experiences with your partner. Amazing time spent with each other. Nice stories. Talk about the struggles you have overcome together and how it strengthened your relationship. Engage your audience’s emotions. Pictures work in your favor.

• Transition to your cute idea and plan of a surprise visit for her birthday (or any other important date – maybe even just for the fun of it). Ask for the help of the Steemit community so you can successfully make this work.

For us it is just an upvote, but for the receiving couple it can mean the world. Surely feels good to help so much with such little effort.

• After you successfully received the little gift from the Steemit community finalize your travel plans.

• Follow up, tell us how excited you are this is going to work, maybe in video format. Nothing better than a big smile on your face caused by us. The watching people.

• All that’s left is for you to set out on that trip and surprise your better half. Everything should go amazingly well and you have an awesome story to tell her. And everyone else.

• Maybe post on Steemit again and tell us how everything went.

Somebody then gets your permission to summarize everything and have major media outlets talk about it. Ultimate PR for Steemit.

“So, how did you find out about Steemit?” – “I read the story online of that couple reunited through the power of Steemit. Thought I just have to check it out.” – Not bad.

Congratulations Steemit, you just helped reunite couples across the globe.
