Hi! My name is Maria Inês Rato
and I’m from Lisbon, Portugal.
|
...
| I was born in Lisbon in 1979 and
went to live in Macau at the age of 7. I came back when I was 12 years
old. |
.
...
| Learning and speaking foreign languages
has been a part of my life, so translation was just the next step. I’ve
achieved an advanced level in English, intermediate levels in French and
German, and now my latest challenge is Spanish. |
...
I have three passions in life:
-
Learning: I work full time but I’m also student.
I have a degree in Economics (Universidade Nova de Lisboa – Faculdade
de Economia) and I’m currently studying for a degree in European Studies
through the Open University system. Not forgetting Spanish lessons every
Saturday morning.
-
Traveling: I’m always planning my next trip.
I’ve fallen in love with Europe, but would love to return to Asia one
day.
-
Reading: you’ll never see me walking out of
my home without a book in my backpack, fiction or non-fiction. And I make
my own bookmarks out of my used airplane tickets.

| I started volunteering as a translator
in September 2006 and have loved every moment of it. |
