Bio

Creative Digital Nomad Translator English/Portuguese > Spanish <> Catalan 

In my work as a translator I get inspired by the colours, sounds, scents, landscapes, architecture and religions from different countries in the world, such as: Nepal (2008, 2011, 2014-2015, 2019), India (2008, 2011, 2015), Laos (2011), Vietnam (2011, 2019-2021), The Philippines (2011), Turkey (2007, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019), Argentina (2012), Chile (2013), Bolivia (2013), Brazil (2005, 2013), Peru (2013).

I have also worked in the following countries: UK (Spanish Teacher), Zimbabwe (English Teacher - NGO / Secretary to the Argentinian Ambassador), South Africa (University Lecturer), Mozambique (NGO Representative), Cameroon (University Lecturer), and have travelled widely throughout Southern Africa.

My professional career spans over two decades and I specialize, among other fields, in the following: Art, Photography, Exhibitions, Architecture, Travel, Cuisine, Lifestyle, Luxury Brands, Marketing, Advertising, Design, Africa, Asia, South America, Documentaries, International Relations, and Fiction & Non-Fiction.

I am truly passionate about my work and go beyond and above to deliver outstanding and creative translations that transcend the written word. This is the reason why I do not use any computer-assisted translation tools. I believe that each text to be translated is unique and, as such, it requires a unique process that always begins with a "blank sheet of paper".

As a result of this finely-crafted process, all my translations are:

  1. - Impeccable
  2. - Fluent, natural and highly creative
  3. - Consistent
  4. - Target audience-oriented
  5. - Gender-sensitive
  6. - Extensively researched and documented
  7. - Truly done with passion
  8. - Delivered on time, every time
  9. - Kept in the utmost confidentiality
