I'm in. Favourite trip I've ever taken: I used to be one of these 20-something whose entire personality revolves around travelling (I even had a travel-newsletter) so this is extra hard! I think perhaps a road-trip from San Francisco to Seattle a few years ago. Wild vistas and less crowded than the usual SF to Los Angeles itinerary! (I love a good road trip)Helo, Hi and Hej, I'm Dany!

I got to spend a whole day in Disneyland, trying all the delicious food and enjoying the rides. My favorite part about that trip was the beach days.

Hi all, Not new to Braze (love it) but have finally moved into the new home of Bonfire. Nice to meet you all. ๐ Where: Melbourne, Australia. We have the best coffee, don't even try and argue. Work: Lifecycle Marketing Manager for the amazing Clipchamp video editing software team at Microsoft. It's a rad place. We are in an interesting position as Braze is not widely used so we are keen to show everyone just how great it is! Brands: Hmm... brands I admire is a tough one but right now I'm going to say Scrimba. The most innovative and upbeat place to learn front end development and coding. Worth a look if you want to get deeper into HTML, CSS and JS on Braze. Travel: Can't say I have a favorite, as I love 'the journey' to anywhere but I travelled on a speaking tour about probiotics with a Chinese popstar/influencer once, played at crazy pool party with my old pop-rock band in Perth, Australia and have ridden a BMX into the Murray River. Those are all great memories. ๐ Great to meet you all! Always open to conversations, keen to learn and keen to share. โ๏ธHi Everyone! My name is Allan! โ๐ป
