Hello Hive :)!

As we welcome a brand new year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey that was in 2024. It’s been a year filled with unforgettable moments, new friendships, personal growth, and a lot of exciting firsts!

**My biggest highlight**

One of the biggest highlights of my year was definitely joining **HIVE** and becoming part of this vibrant, versatile and above all supportive & innovative community. All of that was thanks to @ssekulji , if he hadn’t invited me and changed my perspective I wouldn’t never know about this amazing blockchain. From learning about crypto, the whole blockchain to e-meeting amazing people like **@steevc, @abbak7, @ericvancewalton, @deepresearch, and @dario-mavric**, I feel incredibly lucky to have found this platform. Thank you all for making my year brighter and inspiring me to keep creating!!

Another unforgettable milestone was finally meeting **@ssekulji**. Attending rallies, experiencing the preparation, and cheering from the sidelines was an again and again and again a dream come true. Motorsport has always been close to my heart, and 2024 reminded me just how much it fuels my passion.

This year also took me to some amazing places:

• **Bratislava** and **Vienna**, where history and culture intertwine beautifully.

• **Lovran** and **Slovenia**, which offered serene escapes into nature.

Of course there were more places but these stood out the most. Traveling isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about creating memories, and these trips were filled with laughter, learning, and pure joy.

But one thing I’m really proud of is rediscovering my love for **reading**. After spending too much time glued to my phone, I made a conscious effort to pick up books again, and it’s been nothing but enjoyable for now. It reminded me of the joy of losing myself in a good story and gave me some much needed detox time.

**New Year’s Eve Celebration**

For the first time, I celebrated **New Year’s Eve outside my home**, and it was magical. The program at the **main square** in Zagreb was incredible ( **I’ll link the videos from the concert here so please enjoy the atmosphere**) featuring artists like:

• **Miach**, new artist on the scene that is absolutely incredible.

• **Josipa Lisac**, a true legend and icon of Croatian music.

• **Hiljson Mandela (KUKU$)** and **Buntai**, bringing that trap energy to the crowd.

• **Grše**, **Z++**, and the guy you all probably know; **Baby Lasagna**, aka the RimTimTagiDim guy.

The night was filled with music, dancing, and unity as we let go of 2024 and stepped into 2025. Later, **@ssekulji** and I decided to escape the crowds and made our way to a cozy park in the **Upper Town**, where we toasted with (kids’) champagne and mulled wine under the fireworks. It was a simple yet perfect way to welcome the new year :).

**Looking Ahead to 2025**

As I reflect on all the incredible experiences of 2024, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for what’s to come. I’m hopeful that 2025 will be even more fulfilling, with new adventures, friendships, and challenges to conquer.

Let’s all aim for a successful crypto-year ahead and look forward to the next **HiveFest**, where we can finally meet, share stories, and celebrate our shared journey.

To everyone reading this, thank you for being part of my year. Whether we connected through Hive, rallies, or shared passions, you’ve all made 2024 unforgettable.

Let’s make 2025 even better - one story, one connection, and one adventure at a time. Cheers to a year full of growth, happiness, and success!

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
