En route to South America in the late 80`s, Gwyneth stopped off in Spain to learn some Spanish. Victim of emotional inertia, she has so far failed to achieve escape velocity. She now runs her own design and editorial consultancy where she has been known to turn her hand to anything from book-keeping to programming by way of project analysis, translation and copywriting. When time permits, she writes poetry and does literary translations. She plans to catch a plane to Patagonia `mañana`.
