A faster translator between English and German

Born in Africa and raised by an English teacher mother, I had a passion for languages since my childhood. I remember those early days in elementary school when I was sitting for English language exams which lasted for two and half hours and I always took not more than hirty minutes to finish. I was several times called by the school director and asked to stay a bit longer as I was discouraging others. Did not reaaly know what he meant!

I have ever since learned other languages but my greatest success has been German and I have worked for 14 years now as a German-English interpreter and translator, mainly in the travel and tourism industry, having worked with over 4700 German-speaking tourists visiting Africa.

I had passion to become an author since my childhood. By then there were very few publishers and the pay was very low so I did not succeed to publish any work. But books were my best friends. Half of my sleeping room space was was occuppied by book shelves.
