I am a native English speaker from north-east England.
I worked across South America for 15+ years, living in Colombia for over 10 years, now I'm back in the UK.

Intrepid Traveller Born in Durham, England, I first travelled to South America in 1999 to explore the Amazon Rainforest and see Machu Picchu with my own eyes. That trip was the start of a lifelong journey of learning Spanish and it sparked in me a desire to explore all of South America. I worked in Barcelona for a year before returning to South America in 2007 for work and have since lived and worked all across South America as Tour Director, Tour Cook, EFL teacher and translator. Although not as frequently as back in the day, I continue to work freelance as Tour Director throughout South America, helping tourists to enjoy all the wonders this continent has to offer. |
Lifelong Student My passion for travel comes from my desire to understand more about cultures and languages that were very foreign to me growing up in north-east England. I went on to study language courses in Quito (Ecuador), Salamanca, Oviedo, and Barcelona (Spain), Faro (Portugal) and Santiago de Chile. Realising the power of languages to communicate with people across the globe, I abandoned my childhood plans of studying mathematics to pursue Modern Languages. I earned a first-class Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages (Spanish & English) from the Open University (UK) and later completed a Master's degree in Audiovisual Translation from the University of Leeds (UK). |
Freelance Professional After completing a Master's degree in Audiovisual Translation Studies, I entered the translation industry as a freelance Audiovisual Translator. I love being my own boss. I get to do the work I love and I get to devote more time to my wonderful, crazy family by adapting my work schedule around my family life. I accept projects on an ongoing basis, working on projects as short as 15 seconds, a marketing slogan of 2 words, or streaming series of over 100 episodes. No job is too big or too small. |
