    Hi everyone,

    I'm from The Netherlands, and I have been a ZooChat lurker for a couple of years now and I finally decided to join the site to hopefully actually contribute and add some value to the site .

    Currently, I am busy finishing my bachelor in Biology. In my spare time I like to photograph wildlife and landscapes and obviously to visit a good zoo from time to time. My 'home-zoo' is Burgers Zoo (it certainly could be worse). I am possibly even more of a travel nerd than a zoo nerd, and I hope that I will finally be able to make up for all the travel time wasted due to Covid this summer.

    That's about it for now ;)

    I hope to become a researcher specialized in animal adaptation. I would especially like to live and work abroad (for a while at least).
