Team Australia new recruits: update 21/06/17

in #teamaustralia7 years ago

Hello readers. With @tremendospercy stepping up on behalf of the UK this morning, I thought it was time to introduce three new candidates for Team Australia. Please welcome them to the group by giving them a follow.

Candidate 1

Name and bio

@dwongch is a Chinese Aussie from “boring and sunny” Perth (his words not mine). He’s an electrical engineer by day and a cryptotrader by night. And while that doesn’t appear to leave a lot of time for sleep, he does mention that he started coding in VB and making his own apps when he was 11 so he’s probably used to it by now. While @dwongch admits that he is the IT geek in his family he's not all techie nerd. He also likes motorcycles, basketball, photography, gaming and travelling. 

Fun fact

“I suck at maths yet I am an Electrical Engineer”.  

Hmm... I'm a little intrigued about how you graduated from uni if this is true. Also, you should probably omit this from your LinkedIn profile.

Candidate 2

Name and bio 

@jonno-katz is a Melbourne based performer who has made five solo theatre shows. He loves contact improvisation, which is an improvised dance form where you maintain a point of contact while moving with another person. He’s also danced naked with a bunch of strangers in Argentina although this is not as fun as it sounds. Skin on skin contact is a bit grippy apparently. @jonno-katz is currently excited about combining contact improvisation and acroyoga, and getting paid in crypto.

Fun fact 

“I'm an Acroyogi”. 

As someone who has participated in a few acroyoga classes and workshops I concur that acroyoga is indeed fun.

Candidate 3

Name and bio

@snooway moved to Australia from Taiwan over 15 years ago. She loves taking photos of Australian wildlife and has some amazing photos of birds in her intro post. She developed her love of photography while studying in Canberra back in 2006.  @snooway now lives in Melbourne and engages in several other arty pursuits including folding origami and pottery. Like many Aussies, she loves to travel and has lived and studied abroad in the US and Canada.

Fun fact

“I have won two photography competitions and had two of my photos exhibited in New York City”. 

Wow, that's really impressive. Well done @snooway.

I think you’ll agree that each of these candidates brings unique and diverse qualities to Team Australia and they deserve our support. @sirknight, please add them to the group.

The Rules

If you’re not yet a member and want to be, this is what you need to do:

  1. Follow all the existing members @teamaustralia.
  2. Vote here for our resident steemit witness @ausbitbank.
  3. Comment below that you want to join.
  4. Link your introduction post so I can find out a bit about you. If you’re new to steemit you'll have to write one so use the introduceyourself tag to help boost your following.
  5. If it’s not mentioned in your introductory post, tell me which city and country you’re in, cos let's face it, a lot of us live in Australia's fourth largest city - London.  
  6. If you’re not Aussie tell me why you would like to be a teamaustralia ambassador. 
  7. Tell me a fun fact about yourself. This can be anything. For example, maybe you run a successful business, or you have eight kids and three dogs, or you rode your bike across Amercia, or you won the blue ribbon for javelin throwing at sports day back in high school, or Toadie came into the pub you work at one day and you served him a beer, or, maybe you can fit 55 maltesers in your mouth like Ed Sheeran can. It doesn’t matter what it is, I want a fun fact about you!

Once I receive this information I will try my best to write a good introductory paragraph about you for the official teamaustralia membership updates. So the better your information is, the better I can make you sound.

Please use the teamaustralia and australia tags to promote your work.

I will try and post weekly updates unless there is a lot of interest, in which case I will try and post sooner.

Ciao for now.

https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@yeshuafreak/hi-i-am-samuel-from-melbourne

Great! And finally I need a "fun fact" about you. It can be whatever you like but the more interesting the better.

Fun fact mhm:
Back in my teenage days i took violin lessons to impress girls then realised they into guitarist! Guess who changed the lessons so quickly. Lol
I done boxing, grappling and kickboxing.

Haha. Love it! I'll include you in the next update. 👍

Hey there! I was earlier chosen to be The Netherlands (Utrecht city) representative for #teamaustralia, but as indicated I am happy to re-introduce myself :)

My early introduction post can be found here - https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@finance2nomad/hello-steemit-community-new-blog-on-reaching-financial-independence-and-travel-the-world

Why do I want to be #teamaustralia ambassador? - I have been to Australia a few times, dancing with aboriginals, surfing for the first time in my life, making new friends at campfires all across the continent, high-fiving kangaroos, stepping on snakes as poisonous as 300 Puffer Fish - you get it. I love the continent and would like to follow it, cheer for it, laugh, cry, and act like one big happy community :)

Other fun parts? You can pick and choose / combine the following with the above: (i) Became absolutely wasted in a North Korean bar, thinking I could drink the bar empty with a few pals, didn't succeed; (ii) Investor by day and night, but left out from the Cryptocurrency game until now, missing out on all the opportunity.

Oh, and I've checked all other boxes :)

See you around #teamaustralia!

Make sure to check my account and follow if you'd like!
@Finance2Nomad

Excellent Choogirl, just excellent! Will be back as Team Australia to welcome out new members. And Choogirl... you're hired!

Thanks. 👍

Thanks @choogirl. Looking forward to the next installment!

Thanks for the hard work!

Hi @choogirl I'm wanting to join teamaustralia. I'm from Melbourne Australia. Fun Fact: I'm an airbrush artist and hope to be able to spend more time doing it eventually, check out the images in the introduction post https://steemit.com/art/@jwmackay/emerging-airbrush-artist

Cheers!

I'll include you in the next update.

Great. I've added you to my list. I'll let you know when you've been introduced.

Thank you very much @choogirl. Welcome to team Australia @dwongch and @jonno-katz. @snooway is already a member - think he was just testing you. SirKnight as team Australia.

@choogirl Thanks for invitation! soon I'll write my introduction so you will know a bit more about me :) Now I'm gonna check Australian community on steem and follow them with pleasure! :)

Great. Let me know when you're done.

Welcome to steemit. You are welcome to look at my post

https://steemit.com/photography/@lenscape/lenscape-photography

Thanks for inviting me! Would love to be a part of this group. My official introduction doesn't have much information as such, but gives a little of my personality away.

I live in Sydney, Australia. Srilankan born Australian citizen. Biomedical engineer turned doctor turned photographer. I'm an avid snowboarder, fastest speed 94.24km/hr, plays guitar, piano and drums. Have loads of teeth and hair, and brush both regularly.

Hi @choogirl. Please add me in. I am a software architect based in Brisbane.

Thanks. Please link your intro post so I have some more information about you to work with.

Hi @fenix2222. Did you still want join Team Australia? If yes, please provide me with some information about yourself and a fun fact. Thanks.

Hi fellow Aussies!

I'd love to join the teamaustralia group, @choogirl.

Here is my introduction post, I'm sure you'll find plenty of information to write an interesting paragraph about me :)

I have glowing stars on my roof so when I look up at night, it looks like I'm in space. I also have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Thanks for the opportunity and I love what you guys are doing on here!

Thanks. What city/town do you live in?

As a cryptocurrency and precious metals investor I'd prefer not to disclose my exact location... Can we just say Queensland? The whole idea with crypto is that I shouldn't have to link my personal information to my funds... Exchanges don't require me to verify such information and I believe the steemit platform should be the same. I hope you can make an exception here at your discretion, thanks.

It's more so people can get to know you a bit - we're not doing official KYC don't worry. But yes, I will just say you live in Qld. I'll include you in the next update.

Awesome, thanks!

Awesome! :]

Hi guys, i'd love to be part of the #teamaustralia community!

I'm from Brisbane, Australia, and a fun fact about me is that I used to write POS software and database software in VB, and started writing software when i was 4 years old on an old Commodore64 computer, and finished my first software package at the age of 6. I no longer code, but the interest still hangs around. :)

A link to my introduction is here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@adammadd/time-for-an-introduction

You're on my list. I'll update you when I've introduced you.

Here is my intro post:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@hannahlicious/who-is-hannahlicious-let-me-introduce-myself
I want to be in @teamaustralia because I want to meet more australian steemians and read great australian content! I also try and pass on any tips I have to other aussie steemians, like this post I wrote on how to transfer your Steem into your aussie bank account
My fun fact is that I am originally from the UK and I first came to Australia in 2013 as an English backpacker.... ended up marrying an Australian and now I live here in Sydney!
thanks so much, now I know about teamaustralia I'm excited to read more posts from you guys and get more involved in this little aussie community here on Steemit :)
