Let me start December's challenge with my top 3 of 2024!

1. I got married 💍

2. I moved back to the region I've lived most of my life as I realized it's the only place I call home 🏡

3. I visited Europe's least visited country, Moldova, and I loved that 🇲🇩

And these are moments that are the most precious in the lifetime.

I bought a place in Sweden so I can spend more time with my family and try to build up some old friendships which were lost when I moved to the Netherlands 21 years ago.
I also planned our wedding for next year, which made me realize that anytime the word "wedding" exists together with something else like venue, flowers, dress, reception or music, everything triples in cost...

I started on 1st December last year committing to daily step goal of at least 10 000 steps as balance to my office days and was able to reach that every single day for a full year, averaging ~12.5k steps a day - and streak is still ongoing 👣😃
Side-effect was that I did much more walks in fresh air on days where I did do any other sports.

That's impressive! Doing more walks with skipping lifts in favor of stairs were my successfully completed plans already for 2023 and it's great to observe how large impact on the general wellbeing it has!

These are milestones that truly matter when we sum up the passing year, congrats!

Three pillars of the good year! 😃

That's great to hear, keeping my fingers crossed for reconnection with your fellows in Sweden! And speaking of the wedding... That final day is erasing all the preparation stresses, but hope you won't have them too much! 😎

I joined Dynatrace in July 🚀

Well, this year was pretty intense 😁

Most importantly - I got engaged and I'm getting married next year 😊
I have never traveled so much in my life ever before as this year - US 🇺🇲 (Viva Las Vegas! And no, this was not connected to engagement 😅), France 🇫🇷 (Paris), Italy 🇮🇹 (Napoli and Capri), UK 🇬🇧 (London), Germany 🇩🇪 (Bavaria), and Czechia 🇨🇿 (Prague)
The Dynatrace Community grew by a lot! The forum itself by about 50% in terms of views and unique users, and the team itself by one new person (nice to have you with us @GosiaMurawska!). I am incredibly grateful for what we were able to achieve together as a Community.

Well, for sure, meeting the Community Team for the first time live in Dynatrace Perform in February was one of the highlights of the year! Hope to see you all soon, in less more than a month!

Started woodworking as a new hobby in 2024, just managed to finish my first project before the year was out:

Looks great, sophisticated aesthetics! 😎

Community's rapid growth is cherry on the cake for 2024!

Next PERFORM is indeed right around the corner, hopefully it's already a strong candidate for the best upcoming memories of the 2025 😉

Highlight would be obtaining "Community Rock Star Award". Thanks to Dynatrace for recognizing me.

Other highlight: Getting a snake as a pet (Chopper is his name)

New highlight for Christmas: we are going on a cruise for a week with family and we are so excited.

A snake sounds like a great one for the next edition of our recurring "show your pet challenge" in the future!
