Travel-loving portuguese girl, outgoing, daring, curious about the world. Want to live the present and not think too much about the future :p Msc Biotechnology with a focus on marine microbiology and bioinformatics. During my study I have had the chance to live in Portugal, The Netherlands and Germany (kudos to the Erasmus programme). After a year being a world nomad through Australia and Asia, I am now a PhD student doing research in the field of Marine Microbiology. My free time is mostly occupied with yoga, sailing, surfing, snorkelling, diving, rock climbing, being outdoors, or gardening. And cooking, I love to cook. When the weather doesn't allow for outdoorsy activities, I love to have a cup of tea with friends, over a nice conversation or board game.
