Hi kuatkins, Hi everybody! I was a French and Spanish Teacher since 1999 in Portugal. I was exhausted and had completely lost my motivation. I wanted to change my life and stop feeling miserable. So I moved to Ireland and started working as a PM and In-house translator. I liked the PM duties but definitely my passions are Languages, writing, searching, learning new words, new cultures and the challenges of new fields, even if it is the aviation industry! I like to learn, to search, to create. BECAUSE YES I definitely think that translating is also creation.
