Hey there!
I studied English Translation and Interpretation and am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Translation Studies. I find psycholinguistics very interesting, I love discussing about the behavior/character change bilingual people experience, and that's my thesis about : the way we use language as a mask! I really love my job, I enjoy both literary translation and Interpreting, but if I had to pick only one of them I would go with interpretation. The way it makes you stay focused feels like meditation to me, gives me the chance to live in the moment. Also the adrenaline rush feels like an extreme sport (if it's a serious congress or meeting)!

Just like everyone else in here, I love learning about new cultures and always find it amazing to meet with locals. I am very open-minded and don't hesitate trying new things.
I really do believe in energy, I think we are all pieces of the same source, and I think loving and accepting each other will save us.

I think my photos are self-explanatory and would describe what kind of a person I am better than me describing myself :) but;
I love traveling (duh!), dancing (I am learning bachata currently), socializing, reading, watching movies, going to theaters, festivals and concerts, I do scuba diving (hopefully getting a bit more interesting now) and extreme sports always sound fun, I tried a few of them -including bungee jumping- I like hiking in nature, walking around, and working out as well. If you checked my photos already, you probably understood that I love anything related to water :D I am very into psychology, I love learning and talking about it. I also love animals, and I try to eat mostly plant-based in my daily life- but traveling makes it a bit difficult so I am okay with eating vegetarian while traveling.

I love meeting new people and making new connections, I believe everyone you meet in life has a purpose; sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes significant, but never without meaning. I believe there’s something to learn from every person and every experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it's sad to pick just one!
I spent my last new year's eve in 2023 in a hospital, entertaining child patiences. It was the most meaningful new year's eve I have ever experienced. I studied in my junior year of high school in the US as an exchange student. I worked as an AIESEC volunteer in a school in Mexico for 2.5 months. traveling Sri Lanka for 23 days with sooo many adventures was a whole different level, many things happened :D honestly, every time I go to a conference to do simultaneous or consecutive translation I feel amazing and alive, I love the adrenaline it gives me!
