Hello there!

I was born in a small town in the south of Portugal. I always knew that I had big goals in life (such as having my own magazine, hosting a TV show... well, basically being the new Oprah Winfrey!) so I started moving.

I moved a lot, literally and figuratively. I have lived in Lisbon, Milan, Rio de Janeiro and New York. I love to challenge myself and feeling that excitement and kind of fear you feel on your belly when you're not sure how things will pan out. The beauty of starting from scratch is that you keep reinventing yourself, while trying to maintain those traces that make you YOU.

I'm a professional translator and content editor so I basically write for a living. I have done pretty fun stuff: travelled as a digital nomad to Rio and New York for a whole year, told fun stories about life in other countries, interviewed Sir Jeremy Irons, wrote about stand-up comedy, had a radio show. I still have a long way to go and have a ton of things on my to do list, like, taking that damn driving license. But, honestly, who needs to drive when you can fly?
