Hiya,
it's not so easy to introduce myself without mentioning the various roles that I have. I have a profession (actually, three...), and I have kids (actually, three) and I have a partner (yes, just one!). And I also have a dog (even though I'd love to have three!)
So, if I strain my memory and try to think back to what I was before I became a translator, interpreter and language teacher, a wife, a mother, and all those things, well, I think I was someone very interested in the world and brave enough to get out there and experience it.
