A book nerd passionate about translation and getting lost in new worlds

I've started learning English at an early age, I believe I was 7. It became a second mother tongue, and I translate between both Portuguese and English in an almost instinctive way.

Since I was 12 or 13 I translated texts and even tv shows from English to Portuguese for my friends. But I loved Biology, and I had some amazing teachers who encouraged me to study Sciences and get a major on Biology, which I didn't finish.

There I spent a lot of time translating the class material from English to Portuguese for all my classmates who didn't understand it, and I found out that it was the best way to study. Nevertheless it was not enough to finish that degree, and in 2008 I ended up changing it to "Translation Studies".

I admit I'm a book nerd, I love reading and getting lost in new worlds, which also explains why I'm a big fan of Role-Playing Games. I'm also a fan of social media and spend a lot of time online.
