Miriam Candelas

I was born in 1990 in Madrid. Since I was a child I was fascinated by nature. That’s why I decided to study biology. Afterwards I discovered a passion for the field of Neurosciences, in which I’ve been working since 2012 when I moved to Bordeaux. I am currently doing my PhD in this field in Montpelier University.

In my family we’ve always taken care for the environment, in fact we consider recycling as a great opportunity to help nature. But I wanted to go further and to get more involved with the environment.  I met Naturefriends in Montpelier, because I was looking for a hiking association. Since then, I have been usually hiking with them. I recently knew about Naturefriends in Europe, which I really liked and I saw it like an opportunity to be more active in defending nature.
