I don't know who started this challenge... was it @anomadsoul? @ocd? In reality, Hive is a new begginning! Almost two years have passed since I met this blockchain; a lot of new connections have formed, and reading some of the new intro posts I came across, it's good to know a little bit more about the people we interact with. So, although I'm not that big of a fan of talking about myself... here it goes!
And who am I outside the blockchain?
I'm 41 years old, and I'm from the sunniest country in Europe. If you don't know which one it is... it's Portugal!
A country filled with natural beauty, and with an amazing coastal line. Too bad about the not-so-warm water... but the landscape more than compensates!
Professionally, I'm a Veterinarian. Since I was a small child, I always loved animals, especially wildlife. Cats and dogs are my main patients, but my area of interest are exotic species, so most of my formation is in that area. So in my normal days, I can share my time with these cute guys!
Smaller ones...
And other patients... not so small!
Working with these animal is more demanding, but for me, a lot more rewarding too!
What about free time?
Sporty type. I run, I ride, I do yoga, practiced a few martial arts, and visit the gym 3-4 times a week (ok, I confess, sometimes just to visit the SPA 😂)! Oh, and I surf too! Or should I say... I try to stand on top of the board!
I love travelling. And wildlife. And nature. And if I can combine the three... bliss! I've visited 27 countries so far, and I hope the list doesn't stop growing. Adding to all the above, I love photography as well.
And how have I ended up here?
Almost four years ago, I started hearing about Bitcoin, mainly through a cousin that worked in the financial markets. At first, never dwelved much into it. But as I kept hearing more and more, the interest started to grow. And a little over two years back, I started reading about how in the future social networks could even start rewarding their users with actual cryptocurrencies, instead of "likes". And after a very short time, I read about Steem. And thought: "Wow! It actually exists already!". So, in April 2018, although not exactly a social media addict, I joined Steem. And from there... I kept blogging!
What do I blog about?
Well, for those you already know me, it's pretty obvious. For those you still don't, my posts normally roam around nature and wildlife, with the very ocasional ranting. Photography is my main focus on those subjects, here's a few that made their way to the blockchain already:
Oh yeah... and almost forgot... Splinterlands! An incredible game, that I hope fully migrates to Hive as well. I make a weekly card giveaway, to try and spread some monster love!
There you go! A little bit of me, and hoping that together we can see Hive thrive. See you around!

Great read to start this Sunday.
I will try to make similar hive into tomorrow as I think it is a great idea.
Enjoy and stay safe!
Thank you! And yeah, join the fun! Cheers!
Hello again!
I googled that beach... damn it is nice!!
And the baby parrot made me go awwww (since there was no baby kittens or puppies). :))
Hey there! I actually was searching for a litter of newborn dogs, I'mn sure i have a bunch around. And if you still don't know Odeceixe... you should! Better yet: just go down the Alentejo coast starting from Sines, and go beach-hopping! Best beaches of Portugal for me!
I have been in Sines a few times and few beaches around.
Also in Algarve. But nothing in between.
A trip like that sounds really cool!
Ohhh then you are missing the best! 😂 😂 😂 The coolest beaches are exactly in that between! Do it, you'll see you'll love it! Ps. And the food is awesome in those parts too! 😉
You just say that to make me feel bad!
Nooo! Just to make you want to go there because it's sooo worth it! Let's hope all this craziness goes away soon, so we can go back to travelling!
Hope so...
Thank you!
Thank you!
Oh wow I didn´t know you are a vet :) That explains a lot :)
Great into, I can see we have a lot in common ;)
Thank you! Yep, I see animals in work AND in leisure time! 😂 😂 😂 And I think I have a repressed nomadic soul probably too...
It was nice to learn more about you. See you on the battlefield.
Thanks for stopping by! Good luck on those battles!
Me encanta tu post. Las fotos son increíbles y tus pacientes me encantan.
Mucha suerte en esta nueva etapa.
Besos.
Ayunta-te! Estoy esperando leer tu post de intro! 😉
