I was interviewed for the popular Portuguese YouTube channel Maluco Beleza for the programme Metamorfose Ambulante hosted by Pedro On the Road. We talked about 'A Wandering Poem' and some of my crazy travel experiences, where I had the pleasure to share a pair of cool stories and experiences with other travellers.
I was interviewed on Portuguese TV channel Sic Mulher for the program Faz Sentido, hosted by Adelaide de Sousa, where we talked about my recent published book 'A Wandering Poem' and the trip that inspired it. It was my first television experience.
I was interviewed for the 11th episode of the Story Untold podcast, hosted by Martin Bauman, an award-winning interviewer who has spoken with Canada’s prime minister, Grammy Award-winners, and Olympic medallists alike, and who's writing has appeared in the Globe and Mail, Calgary Herald, and Waterloo Region Record, among other places. The interview was about my 8-month trip through the Middle East and Central Asia, and subsequent release of the book 'A Wandering Poem'.
As part of PUSH, I participated as a talker in the 27th Artec conference in the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar. Our chosen topic was “Creativity and Technology - From Visual Effects to Virtual Reality” and we spoke about our profissional experience as a small company exploring such subjects in the small Portuguese market. The audience was full of students and aspiring professionals, and it was a very interesting session, especially the Q&A session where some daring questions were asked.
I participated as a speaker in the #CreativityRocks conference, which took place at Zelo’s Monaco, Grimaldi Forum and was organised by the PixAssociates agency. The conference was about creativity and technology and featured three other speakers from relevant French companies in the creative tech scene. I spoke about creativity as a competitive advantage and presented some of the work we were doing at PUSH. It was overall a very interesting experience and I hope I managed to leave a lasting impression on the attendees - especially with my lack of proficiency with the French language.
In the context of developing Panic Plane, one of the first Portuguese video-games on the iOS store - António Sousa Lara and I were interviewed on the Portuguese radio Antena 1, for the program A Rede da Rádio with Madalena Balça, where we could talk about how it was to create a video-game from scratch to being one of the top sellers on the Portuguese iOS store.
