Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm a medical translator and I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I'm looking for alternative ways to travel, so as to have a better contact with people in the countries I want to visit. I love to help, I'm hard-working. I have my own freelance translation business. In my free time, I love to run/jog, I also enjoy creative activities like writing and photography. My mother tongue is French, but over the years, I've studied English, Spanish, German, Japanese, and now I'm learning Chinese and Icelandic. I'm an introvert, but I love people and I love helping others. I've done some coaching as well, so I love helping other people to learn. I enjoy the outdoors. I'm a good teamplayer, but I can also be autonomous. I taught English in Japan for a few months a while ago, so I can help with language learning if need be!

What else ...

I'm a translator, but in my free time I'm a musician (I play the ukulele) and writer. I love learning about other cultures and would love to experience family life in Japan or Taiwan. I enjoy working outdoors but I can also work indoors. I love to contribute and help, and believe that traveling and learning about other cultures is a great way to heal the world. I'm lactose intolerant, which means I cannot eat/drink any dairy product, but otherwise I have no other allergies.
