Passionate about languages, culture and people, Eva managed to combine
all three through her writing and journalism. After graduating in Sociolinguistics and Intercultural studies, she
started exploring the alternative culture scene, which has inspired some of her writing.
As a cultural explorer she is keen to embark on more adventures into the unusual and write about it.
Her portfolio includes articles about the fetish scene, relationships, love and social issues, reviews on burlesque
shows, and other events, as well as various features.
She has written short stories inspired by her kinky thoughts and adventures.With some background in marketing,
Eva has also worked on Public Relations and commercial writing, creating many newsletters, press releases, copy
writing and other marketing tools.
As a multi-linguist, Eva writes in various languages, has translated many documents and is also an interpreter for
various events.
To quote Eva, "As a multi-linguist that I am, travelling and meeting people and other cultures is something I
greatly enjoy... I believe that we are driven by our cultural influences, whether we express them freely, or
suppress some of them or decide to use them to allow something new in our lives; we all have passions, desires
and dreams… I feel very lucky to have encountered and experienced different social and cultural groups, such as
fetishism and many more.
People are intriguing, some eccentric, some more subdued, but nevertheless, all here to learn something, to be
someone, to live a story…"
