Uvita, Costa Rica - #Nostrica Day 3 Recap
By
#[1]

If anyone has seen my voice, please tell it I am in San José, and I need it.

With that small cry for help, let's get this recap started. First, I apologize for being late with this report. I promise it will be super juicy!

Let me begin by sharing a bit of myself with all of you, as I said yesterday during NIPs IRL. I've always felt like no one wants to hear what I have to say, but #[2] , who is THE MOST AMAZING videographer I've ever met, opened my mind a lot last night with her words. Therefore, I am here to share.

I grew up in a small town called Liberia, in the northern part of Costa Rica. opportunities don’t reach those of us outside the Central Valley as easily. Being allowed to be opinionated is frowned upon. Therefore, I never imagined having the chance to impact so many lives.

I do not lie when I say I pinch myself daily to ensure this is real. Watching all of you Nostriches come to my home, enjoy it, pack it up with such good vibes, and being able to talk to all of you is a blessing.

Having someone approach me and thank me for my work is not normal. It's even less normal to have gorgeous supermodels like #[3] ask me for my picture for their memories.

And after my chat with Nela, I will try to look less scared when things like this happen and embrace them. Thank you all for giving me a safe space to be myself.

And that was my short but sweet romantic “about me” section..

I've been spending the last few days taking mental and physical notes on what you guys would love to hear. Yesterday was a lot, but to me, a big shout out goes to those fish tacos. They had such a delicious green tomato sauce, ufff... please send the recipe.

Yesterday started with a big punch. You would think that on the last day, everyone would be tired and ready to call it a day; but #[4] was our moderator, and he just opened our closing day with all the feel-good energy needed to have a blast.

Meanwhile, on the workshop stage, we had Richard and Lee from #[5] talk about this beautiful creation of theirs we all got to experience. Let this inspire all of us to orange pill, EVERYONE. Tell them even in the jungle, bitcoin is the answer.

The day went by, and out of the blue, helicopter rider and bitcoiner of the world #[6] came to Nostrica. He and #[7] rocked the stage with a talk about the importance of Bitcoin and Nostr to keep citizens free and protected from CBDCs.

After that, lunch came, and for the first time ever, this girl was on a panel at a conference. NIPs IRL, an all women-powered discussion that covered several topics, from the importance of having a safe space to speak our minds as women, confidence, and even onboarding new content creators by telling them how easy it is to get value for value.

Everyone I had the opportunity to share that stage with, and all the questions we received from the audience, got me thinking of what else we can do and what is next to empower each other more. Thanks, #[8] , #[9] , #[10] , #[11] , #[12] , and #[13] . You are an inspiration and joy to be with.

#[14] , #[15] , #[16] , and #[17] did an audience Q&A and retrospective to close the day. A nice moment to come up with plans for Nostr and get to know each other even more. And after a tiny short break, NVK, McShane, Mads, Elidy, #[18] (remotely), and I had the honor of joining Jack on stage and doing a conference recap.

We were so happy to thank you all for your participation and to hear your suggestions for upcoming Nostrica's (maybe Nostril???) The following location is TBD. But inviting all of you to hold your own Nostr meet-ups and conferences. We appreciate your suggestions and will discuss all the notes and other stuff you gave us!

Again, thank you to everyone who made this possible. We couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the other organizers, Jack, the volunteers, and all the attendees (onsite and online)! As I said, we are all OGs it is our mission to bring more people on board and secure our freedom!
