Tona
TONA INTRODUCES HERSELF
My family calls me Tona (a nickname for Marta). I was born in Lleida, one of the oldest towns in Catalonia, but I moved to Barcelona in order to study Translation and Interpretation at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. And I never left the city…
My passion has always been traveling, so I worked as a guide in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Russia. Some time later, I passed the exams to become official guide in Barcelona. I am passionate about my city, specially the Old Town, where I live, and I like showing the city off the beaten track, without losing my smile. I love architecture, art and food.
However, I have never forgot my passion for literature and languages. My latest translated book is a theatre play from Greek into Catalan!
My dream: to buy a little house in one of the Greek islands!
