Catherine Torres is a diplomat and writer from Manila, Philippines. Her work has taken her to postings in New Delhi, Singapore, and now, Berlin, where she lives with her husband, a Korean scholar and translator, and their son, Samuel. When foreign affairs, as well as domestic ones, permit, Catherine voyages around the world on boats made of words. Occasionally, as with Sula's Voyage, she even builds the boat herself.
