(If you're not into fun facts, that's totally fine. I don't judge. You will miss out though on hearing about butter, football and Titanic. Just saying...)

1. Yes, it's me in the picture. Very pleased because I just inhaled Amêijoas á Bulhão Pato, which in non-fancy language means clams in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.

2. You can probably tell by now, but for those who are colorblind: I love color. Electric blue in particular. I've got a blue Canyon bike, TV cabinet and suit.

3. I bake a decent pastel de nata. Yes, the Portuguese custard tarts. And yes, I have proof. HMU.

4. Love Ajax. No, not the Greek god. THE football club. I didn’t have a choice, really. There's footage of 4 year old me yelling "Ajax!" and throwing my hands in the air after my dad hypes me up asks "what's our club?". Indoctrination is real.

5. On the topic of Greek mythology. My second name is Helena. Not very relevant, except that I don't intend to create chaos and destruction. Structure is my friend.

6. My last meal would be butter (from Normandy, the one with sea salt crystals, IYKYK) on a baguette.

7. I'm obsessed with the movie Titanic and the drama series Twin Peaks. No, Jack would not have fit on the door.
