When I was a child, I was so obsessed with the mythologies of various Greek gods and the stunning views of Aegean Sea. I was always wondering how come people could think of such romantic names, and how come in the world would even exist such beautiful places.

The moment I received the internship opportunity from our university, my heart was almost popped out— startup internship with Live-Bio, located in Greece. Greece has always been my dream country; I have to say I am the lucky one that has a chance to actually come here by flesh.

Falling in love with Poros.

I am a Chinese girl who spent my first 18 years in China, after 2 years of staying in Europe, I still feel there is something missing until I arrived in Poros. Unlike the big international cities which almost have same lifestyle, Poros is so unique. I don’t know if I will be able to find other places like this— people are so chilled and nice, they say hello to strangers and we could become friends immediately. Food here is so green and healthy, and even the animals here are so friendly…..

Startup internship and getting to know people.

We have been working on various projects in tourism sector, exporting business and keep on being impressed by the knowledge and execution power Periklis and Magdalena have from time to time. Additionally, they have built the connections with different people in different kind of shops and restaurants here so we also got chances to meet those nice people: Katerina in the Odyssey apartments, Nikos in the coffee shop, Eleni in the weaving store, etc. they are all so passionate with their careers just like Live-Bio family is.

Travelling and sport.

In spare time, we traveled to Hydra Island, Skouras Winery, Nafplion, etc. We went for amazing sailing, it was the first time for me and I cannot even find a word to describe it. I will just say I love it too much. Strongly recommended! We do cycling as well. Riding a bike and look around the whole island with the mild wind from the sea. At some moment I just feel life could not be better. My new favorite thing to do is to play beach tennis thanks to Magdalena, to be honest I never played tennis before, it s actually a very good exercise for beach with the crystal clean water and sandy beach, not to say the bonus—getting tan evenly. I will definitely do that when I go back to my city this summer.

Startup internship with Live-Bio not just brought me working experience and opened my mind of doing business, but also brought the new concept of lifestyle that will benefit my whole life. I hope to come back soon again.
