My degree in English and German Modern Languages and Literatures was completed in 2001, the year I set off to Germany looking for new adventures.  And man I did find some…  I had a great time – I learned a lot during my stay there, but I had to carry on with my journey and, so, after a 10 month period, I packed my suitcase and returned to my home base, my dearest Lisbon. Before I knew it I was wearing a uniform and trying to understand a new reality, unknown to me. The Portuguese Navy is now the sea I want to sail… so far life  has been an interesting navigational trip.
