I am a freelance Translator, Transcreator, Transcriptionist, Subtitler and Reviser. I work with several companies in and out of the EU and I have translated bell hooks' 'Feminist Theory from margin to center' to European Portuguese («Teoria Feminista da Margem ao Centro»), published by Orfeu Negro.

Words, languages, writing, learning and music. The World.

In Portugal we have a saying that goes, 'Don't do to others what you would not have done to you.' «Se não fosse inseguro, não conseguia um nível de qualidade mínimo nos meus textos. Sou muitíssimo inseguro. Sem as pessoas perceberem, testo aquilo em que estou a trabalhar. O receio de falhar parece-me muito produtivo.» Ricardo Araújo Pereira ('If I weren't insecure, I would not achieve a minimum quality level in my texts. I am very much insecure. Without people realizing, I test what I am working on. The fear of failure seems to me very productive.')

I have always loved watching and learning from TED talks. I love that people take a little bit of their time to share with the world what they have learned and/or worked on in their life. I wanted to share these videos with other people but some of them don't know English, so I decided to help theses videos reach more and more people.

Writing poetry and dancing.
