A product of parents from vastly different worlds* and a lifetime spent traversing the Americas** I have always been drawn to stories about cross-cultural communication. So far, this translated into a degree in Media Studies, a stint in advertising, two guide-books to Paraguay, a children's podcast about Spanish, and several forthcoming picture books. I hope to one day be as fabulosa as Los Cádillacs and dream in Guaraní.
