Always Restless.

Eldest of three siblings, Pablo Suarez was born in February of 1997 in a minuscule town in Gran Canaria, one of the main islands of the idyllic Canarian archipelago. Despite the astounding beauty of the holiday destination for most, ever since he was a child he felt confined by the mountains of the valley he grew up in and through the foresight (and at times frustrating desire to provide the best possible future for their children) of his parents, he dedicated a great part of his upbringing to learning languages, primarily English.  
From a young age, Pablo would show an inquisitive mind and seek answers to questions that no child should ponder, such as what is it that we “are”, “how do we function” and “why are we here”. For him, it was more about the process of finding those answers in the available literature, as he always sought the more bookish and cerebral of routes to every problem. This is something he describes in his own words as unnecessarily taking the most complicated path in every single aspect of life.
His dad nurtured this ingrained curiosity by reading him and his siblings bedtime stories, providing his first literary influences in the likes of Enid Blyton and Hans Christian Andersen. Later on (much later on that he is willing to admit), when it was socially unacceptable to have his dad read him stories, he expanded on things he would be able to read himself. He delved into The Chronicles of Narnia, adapted versions of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, and later on the taste refined and focused more on fantasy and science fiction of both Spanish and international authors such as Ana Alonso, Javier Pelegrín, Laura Gallego García, J.K. Rowling, Christopher Paolini and George RR Martin.
As anyone that is deeply passionate about something, Suarez began emulating those authors. Up until the last couple of years of high school, spoken word was his main method of storytelling and it was at this point that he decided to start writing. He cites reading Paolini’s biography and thinking how incredibly fulfilling it would be to publish his stories just as this American had. 
The origin of Suarez’ writing can be traced back to an English assignment. One momentous day, he was given carte blanche by the very teacher that instilled his love for the language and he wrote a short fiction piece. The feedback from the teacher was that there was no difference from the books she assiduously reads and this proved to be a tremendously powerful nudge to keep going in the right direction.  
It was through this love of the Anglo-Saxon world that Suarez travelled to the United Kingdom multiple times throughout his early education. During a summer course aimed at improving his English skills, he visited Oxford University and he fell in love with the “academia” atmosphere and decided he would do his absolute best to study a medical degree in England.

Despite his enormous pride of attending a public high school, the institution was terribly underfunded and there were no previous instances of students graduating and going to the United Kingdom to pursue a university degree. Without any sort of guidance from the faculty, Suarez spent a great deal of effort (and money) seeking private advice on how to make the jump from a completely different educational system.

This lack of knowledge caused him to miss his window of opportunity to apply in time to start the year after graduation, and in order to bridge the gap he read Biological Sciences in Brighton in the meantime. The final result was three years of toil, sweat and tears before he was able to pass the entrance exam and was accepted into medical school (suffice it to say, it was not Oxford University).

Nowadays, Pablo spends most of his time balancing studying his third year in medical school, making videos for his two YouTube channels, writing blog posts for his website and adding words to his ever-growing list of works in progress in his journey to fulfil his dream to publish his written works.
