[ENG]
Mário Portela was born in Porto, Portugal, in 1973. He considers himself a storyteller and teacher, rather than a writer, and his work reflects this philosophy. According to Portela, "to live is a great lesson, full of daily discoveries, enriching experiences, and constant learning," and this idea permeates all his work.
Portela is an independent therapist and consultant, working in various disciplines. He has worked on several successful projects, including books, podcasts, and audio dramas, both in Portuguese and English.
