Ambar Fogué De Madre
My name is Ámbar and according to numerology I am a number five: “the number of restlessness and action. A symbol of freedom, adaptability, of an adventurous and wandering spirit, but also of inconsistency and overindulgence of the senses.” I can tell you even more myself, like how I always have cold feet and how I’m crazy about dogs. Soup and cheese (of any variety) make me happy, together with a good book and a lot of coffee to get me through the morning. I have a varied academic background but suffice to say that I come from the field of humanities and I am passionate about languages and literature. I am a hardened nostalgic, and people often call me a softie or even a sissy. My objective in life is to have a comfortable sofa on which to watch good films in good company.

I was born in Cascais (Portugal) in 1985. I studied film and wrote for a Portuguese soap opera and TV series. Then in 2009 I moved to London to pursue a more exciting career in film and TV, but then that didn't happen. Now I'm a writer, an illustrator and a comic book artist, which means I have plenty experience in customer service and retail.

Julia James
I am a Londoner born and bred, and have worked in education for over 30 years. I am currently studying a course on the history of the City of London. I am discovering many new and exciting things about the city and I love it! My first visit to Spain was when I was 16 and did a Spanish exchange in Madrid and Segovia. I was hooked by the language, food, culture and the weather - and I still am!

La Hairy De Herning
Born Spanish but feeling European, I’m the less creative of a Hairy saga of quite successful siblings who develop art in the forms of image, architecture and design. My contribution to art has been through writing as a means of expressing feelings, emotions, brain-landscapes and brain-farts. Some of the pieces I’ve produced have been published in some local newspapers and business magazines. Currently, I work full time in a very structured way in a worldwide well-known multinational that feeds my curiosity for art creation.

Raised near London and then the small Channel Island of Guernsey, my interest in other cultures , their diverse languages, literatures and foodstuffs, drew me to studying French and Spanish at the University of Oxford and now to Japan where he studied Japanese while continuing to collaborate with Brit Es as a translator.
