Well, it's really a pleasure and also a challenge to get on steemit community. First I never wrote on a blog and I'm not familiarized with this kind of text edition, but I'll do my best. The last days I've been thinking about what type of useful information I would like to share with you steemers, and it's been really exciting.

Who am I?!

My name is Liliana Neto Duarte, born in the beautiful city of Leiria (Portugal), on August 5, 1982.

It was summer and my mom says that day the family was getting grilled sardines for the lunch. Nothing gets me more pleased than pass my anniversaries on the beach, having grilled fish.

Basically, I love the beach, field trips, being a tourist (sometimes in my own country), to cook on Sundays, get hot baths in winter, look at the fireplace, summer nights, I love cats, meet new people, laugh,(...)

Where I came from?

My childhood was spent in a small village called Pousos, close to Leiria. Me and my friends used to ride a bike, play and spend time together in the street, and it was safe :)

At 10 I had to make new friends cause my parents put me on a semi-private school. When I was 13, my family moved to other even smaller village (Alcogulhe, yes, very awkward name), but fortunately, I could stay on the same school till I get to the university. I've made few, but very good friends in that time :)

I came to Évora (UNESCO World Heritage Site) in 2000 to graduate in Environmental Sciences at University of Évora.

Now this is my second home, I started working in this city, passed 3 (amazing) years in Lisbon and returned to Évora. I'm finishing my master thesis in Conservation Biology, about invasive plants!

What I'm here for

Lately, I spend a great amount of time just scrolling on Facebook and I'm getting tired of it because the useful information is rare, and there's a lot of BS.

So my purpose on Steemit is to learn with you steemers and your sharings, while we get some paid :D I'll seek to contribute to this community with my best experiences.

Stay tuned!!
