ABOUT RAFAEL BERBER:
Rafael Berber – Continent Hopper and Coder
World traveller and freelance programmer Rafael Berber spends a lot of time behind a computer screen writing code, and even more time on foreign shores and in airports around the world. Born in Salamanca in Spain, Berber spent his early years alternating time between football fields and his local library. He enjoyed exploring the world of technology and decided to formulate a career out of this love. After school he enrolled at the Universidad Carlos III in Madrid and achieved a BA in Computer Science and Engineering. During this time Rafael Berber learned not only how to programme, but also that he is really passionate about experiencing other countries.
An Urge to Explore Foreign Shores
After working for a local software firm for three years, Rafael Berber moved to the UK where he joined Burgundy IT Solutions and gained further experience in his field. He also made valuable contacts in the industry and was soon able to start offering his services in a freelance capacity – the ideal way of working for somebody with a thirst for travel. Berber is engaged to fellow travel loving freelancer Anastasia Sabbatini, and the couple share a home in London when they are not plying their respective trades from foreign shores across the globe. Rafael Berber enjoys football, running, food and blogging about his travel experiences.
