<html> Hello Steemit community!
I have been trying to gain the courage to formulate myself and write this introduction. I find it quite surprising how difficult it is to break down ones life and expose it, so this intro might be quite choppy as I am a true newbie when it comes to this world but am excited to be a part of such a large positive and thriving society!
So, my name is Melina I was born in Australia but my background is German/Korean/Japanese and currently live in Europe. I have been fortunate enough to travel and live in amazing various places whilst growing up, one of them being Beijing. Besides learning to ride a bike with training wheels at the age of 10... one large problem I have dealt with due to this lifestyle is I guess some form of identity crisis. I don't know where I would confidently say I am from or where "home" is... when I am in one of the countries I am "from" I always feel like an outlander. So even though I get a taste of all worlds it has been a little hard sometimes...but i have also learnt that "where you are from" rarely matters. It isn't significant where you are from but who you are, the experiences that build your personality and your actions.
I don't know what I have to offer to this community just yet but I believe we can share our experiences and learn from each other, therefore I will be posting personal experiences, the ins and outs of places I have lived and travelled to so that maybe when you travel there also you can keep and eye out for the things I mention :)
I am currently half way through my Masters and I am studying Molecular Life Sciences in Microbiology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. Yes I love the sciences and proud to be nerdy! I thus may post some random but very cool things I am working on in the lab. I also love art, so when I don't have artists block, have the time for myself and have the confidence to start something new I do create a few pieces which I plan to share with you guys as well to push myself into continuing that passion of mine.
Another large part of my life is my boyfriend, we have been together for over six years. Five of those six years were long distance...from Germany to Australia, which wasn't easy but worth the wait. Many of my friends have urged me to write about our relationship and share how we got through the distance so I have decided to share our adventure with you all in the near future which may or may not help others, as every relationship is different but I can definitely say I wouldn't have minded some advice during the distance :P
Oh and since my better half and I are crazy foodies, be expecting some photos and loved recipes!!
It is a pleasure to be here and I am excited to read your posts as well!
Thanks for reading!
This is me by the way :) I don't know if the upload will work... I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to upload pictures properly :P

Welcome ;)
The picture is not showing in your Post - I would just delete the link and drag the picture directly in the editor, works better ;)
And you can delete the html in the beginning and at the end ;)
You maybe should use a little markdown cheatsheet: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet ;)
