The Kiwi Weekender (issue 1)

Profile 1 - kiwideb

@kiwideb has been on Steemit since August 2016. She promotes natural health and supportive therapies. She loves her music, and as you can see from the link below, she participated last night in a dazzling choir performance. I hope she will do a follow-up post on the experience.

@biglipsmama has been here since July 2016, and is quite integrated into the wider Steemit community. She offers helpful advice, shows great support, and promotes our fair kiwiland.

Profile 3 - gerben

@gerben has been on Steemit for nine months, and lived in New Zealand since 2016. He imported himself and his family from The Netherlands, and they are living the kiwi dream ... on wheels. His photography is worth checking out, too.

Profile 4 - andysantics48

@andysantics48 may have only joined Steemit last month, but has already found several great niches to fit in to. She writes of her journey towards sustained good health, shares farming observations, and creates original and very entertaining poetry.

Profile 5 - samuel-earp-art

@samuel-earp-art is capturing some of our finest countryside in his stunning art pieces. He is a self-confessed British import, and has been on Steemit for nine months. His love of botany and trees is often reflected in the subject matter of his paintings.

These five people may have been the first to be featured (and congrats to each of you!), but they certainly won't be the last. Quality, engaging, informative and godzone-promoting posts are encouraged and appreciated.

If any fellow kiwi who wants to find us all, here is the invite:

Our thanks to @kristyglas for the free-to-use, colourful page dividers she designed. (I chose to use the one which reminds me of our Paua shells.)
