I was happy and proud to be the 3rd vExpert in Romania, but also proud to be part of a great tech community. This is one of the things that makes vExpert great, the tech community to which you have access and the people who are willing to share knowledge and advise.<\/p>\n<p>Beside this you get access to some cool things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>VMware licenses for homelab for 1 year<\/li>\n<li>Access to Private Slack Channels<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated webinars for vExperts<\/li>\n<li>Parties at VMworld<\/li>\n<li>Direct access to the BU\u2019s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I started the vExpert journey with this blog where I write about\u00a0the\u00a0things that I discover or solutions to issues that encounter\u00a0with vSphere and I also got involved on the <a href=\"https:\/\/communities.vmware.com\/community\/vmtn\">VMTN<\/a>.
