When I turn a new page there`s only one thing I return to. Words.

Translation

is my life, whatever other job I may take from time to time. Words are my passion.

Books are my anchor and best friends. Learning is something understood in itself. The world becomes an awkward place unless we continue learning and developing. Language is a medium for transmitting messages. The quality of the message to be transmitted depends exclusively on those who make it in the source language and on those who translate it in the target language. Don`t forget that certain messages may change human lives completely.

Therefore, be careful with words, because words have power.

I meet a lot of people who call themselves leaders in this or leaders in that. I respect self confidence. But I prefer those who do their jobs in silence and make the best of it. Or perhaps I dislike the word "leader" because I`m from the Balkans. I`ve been freelance for years, but I now wish to combine my passion for languages with my practical experience, academic qualifications and experience to forge a career that is varied and challenging and which will allow me contribute my skills and knowledge to my future employer. I have the EU citizenship, because by birth I am a mixture of the two nations.

I`m one of those ordinary humans who think life is an extraordinary gift. I love tambourine and Smak.

Many liked my background photo. The author`s name is Luis Llerena. It was free to use and I liked it very much, too :-)

Cheers!
