About

Hi, I’m Mariana!

I’m a 29-year-old reader from Portugal who has lived in Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands. At the moment, I’m traveling, exploring new places, and reading wherever I can.

I have a master’s degree in biotechnology, but science has never been my only passion. I’ve always loved to read, learn, study, and explore the unknown, whether through books, places, or new ideas.

I read in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and books have become one of my favorite ways to understand the world. I’m also a slow mood reader. I like to take my time with what I read.

I don't rush reading, and I try not to rush life either. I enjoy being present and making the most of each moment, which is why some of the posts you’ll find here come from past reads and trips.

On this website, I share book reviews, reading reflections, travels, and other things that inspire me along the way.

I also share my reading journey on my bookstagram, where I talk about the books I’m reading and the ones that stay with me.

Thanks for stopping by.
