Why did you choose to be a translator:
I started learning English at my teenage years when it opened up another totally new world for me and, in the meantime, posed a challenge to the perspectives, knowledge and cultural references that I grow up with in my native language. This is when the idea was conceiving in my mind: there is nothing better and more challenging when you, as a translator/interpreter, can bridge two different worlds of culture.
Fun fact:Translator/Interpreter are the kind of people who live their cultural lives on the edge, a unique position where they can maneuver two, or more, languages and render them into each other.
