Description

Hello, my name's Julia !

I'm French (originating from Lyon) but I've been living in Switzerland (Geneva) for almost 15 years.

I'm a professional independent translator translating texts written in English, Spanish or Italian into French. I also sometimes copy-write, take care of children in schools, teach, volunteer in the organization of cultural festivals in Geneva (world music and dance festivals, but also Latin-American cinema festival)...

Needless to say that, as a translator and as a person that grew up in a bicultural family (French and Italian), I'm passionate about foreign languages and intercultural communication, and travelling, discovering, learning/growing and connecting with people from different cultures that are naturally open-minded and offering other ways of understanding life is one of my main reasons for living. I love exchanging and sharing, feeling helpful to other people, collaborating in a win win spirit and enjoying Life ! ​ I adapt easily and I think I'm quite serious and very reliable. 🌞

I can't wait to discover the countries on my priority list and enjoy the suprises and lessons they have to offer ! ​​🌍​🫶🏻​😉
