About Bernardo

About Bernardo

Bernard, sometimes known as Bernardo or Bernardinho to his friends, or Bernardescu in Romania, is a journalist and travel writer based in Sydney, where the Aussies tend to call him Bernie. Although English is Bernardo’s specialty, he was taught French and Latin at school (most of it forgotten, particularly the Latin) and studied French at University. Later in life, after being inspired by his first visit to Brazil, he tackled Portuguese. Unfortunately the Portuguese seemed to take up the space in his brain where the French once was.
