Welcome to the ASEAN Hive Community's "ASEAN Hiver Of The Week" post, where I (@justinparke) highlight one of our community members.

🌭 A Legendary ASEAN-'Merican Hiver 🦅

20% Post Beneficiary

     There is a very clear reason this gentleman is the current ASEAN Hiver Of The Week, he's recently given us some HP rocket boosters. That's not all though, he's an all-around stand-up guy, which in ASEAN Hive terms translates to a quality content creator that is genuinely engaged in the community. A little delegation to contribute to the collective curation HP doesn't hurt too, but that's never been required to be featured in this curation.

     Okay, I should probably mention the white guy in the thumbnail is not Gabe, but Gabe has never shared his face with Hive for personal reasons. I do know he is American, younger than me, and lives in Vietnam, so the thumbnail is a pretty good attempt at what he might look like. 6 days ago Gabe roughly doubled his @asean.hive delegation, going from around 3,500 to 7,000+ HP, a very significant development.

     It's now you can see why I mentioned rocket boosters in the post title, an extra 3,500 HP is a pretty big deal for a grassroots Hive community. From the early days of ASEAN Hive to now, our community and its HP have all been self-managed and funded, and it's because of the delegators that we have this independence to give posts a little boost that very often helps reach curation beyond ASEAN Hive. After all, how else are we almost always in the top #25 communities on Hive?

     Gabe's awesome, that's the main point to take away here. I have been super busy the last few months, unable to read posts and engage as much as I'd like, and this man's blog is one of the ones I need to catch up on. Many of you know I like to read posts from Hivers living outside their own country, culture, language, and/or religion. As a 'Merican in Vietnam, Gabe's life and mine have a lot of parallels, and this makes reading his posts very entertaining for me. Leave this post and visit his blog now 😉....
