Most clients in number, May 27, 2014

or in value? By accident, the answer is the same for me, but if it weren't for my largest client, it wouldn't be!

My clients seem to be quite evenly spread on three continents. None in my country of residence, though.

Likewise. Not too many in Antarctica but pretty much everywhere else. I have to admit I'm not too good on continents and I'd have to look up some of the addresses, but the pins would be all over the globe. Maybe a slim majority are in Europe, I'm not sure, but certainly not most of them.

Evenly spread May 27, 2014

My clients are located on 4 continents, but (at present) none in my country of residence. And I like it this way. It has turned me into a walking time zone "expert".

Mixed May 27, 2014

They used to be primarily based in Europe, but now we're pretty evenly spaced. We even have some Asian clients, which is weird because of our language pairs, but we're still happy to have them!

Other - all over the map May 27, 2014

I am based in the US (California). Besides the US, I have had clients on every continent except Antarctica. My main clients are international organizations, and one of them has PMs throughout the world. I get quite a few jobs from Mozambique and Angola in Africa; I had one from East Timor and another from North Korea. Other countries include Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Germany, Spain, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, and Singapore.
