Although I have never formally worked in a newspaper newsroom, my work has appeared in a number of newspapers and magazines in Spain. I have filed features, long reads and news reports from several Asian countries, including Japan, where I was based as a freelance correspondent for over a year. I also have extensive experience in digital journalism. I began my career as a sports reporter for two pioneering websites in the early days of the Internet, www.waterpolo-world.com and www.canalgolf.com. I then went on to join Revista Transversal as a collaborator and, some years later, to edit the online newsletter of Casa África, a public institution working to bring African countries closer to Spain.
