Born at the foot of Sierra Nevada and mystical Alhambra, I've spent part of my childhood on the Swiss alpine slopes and ended up growing my roots in a city known as the Portuguese Rome. All the traveling back and forth may have sharpened my relativist mindset, and all the inspiring landscapes may have helped me develop a soft spot for natural sciences. A wanderer, as much as I was a shoegazer, I like to call it being a rational introvert with a lyrical mind. Hand in hand with books from an early age, From The Picture of Dorian Gray, to the Drunken Boat, from The Nausea to The Birth of Tragedy, I was already an old soul by the time I finished high school! So, when the time came to choose a career, between my passion for science and my love of literature, I followed the muse of poetry. An act of rebellion, I must confess, very much inspired and validated by Oscar Wilde when he wrote: "To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honour." No regrets. Twenty years later, here I am, a multilingual person, a language geek—all in all, a passionate about translating my perceptions of the world.
