Britta

I love to read and I adore books (you might say I'm crazy about books, and it's always difficult to get me out of a bookshop... :-) ), modern literature, but also thrillers, mysteries and detective novels... (these help me to get my mind off too much work...). And I do love good music, good movies and good wine - nothing better then watching a good film on DVD with my dear husband h.c., enjoying a glass of nice wine and sharing a good laugh... :-) I like to travel, but due to a serious lack of time, I'm mostly travelling for business (going to a conference to interpret... alas, mostly with too little time to stroll through the city the conference takes place in...). Since last September, we have an adorable feline inmate, a tom cat named Konstantin, and he's just wonderful (very lively, sometimes quite rough on us, but mostly the sweetest little fellow you could imagine...) I simply love to meet nice people, to have a good chat, to discuss whatever comes on our mind - it's great to exchange thoughts, information and opinions, and the internet is a wonderful place to meet and communicate. This urge and joy to communicate also directed me to my profession, which is also my vocation - I'm a translator, interpreter and editor, and I simply love to work with languages. I also like to cook, if I find the time to do so - and doing so, I'm keen to experiment with spices and so on, never have time to go by the book or to follow a detailed recipe, so it has to be something rather quick, and the result is not always granted... luckily, my husband and me just have a good laugh, if something doesn't turn out to be eatable, but mostly the results of my improvisations are quite presentable... :-) Well, I could go on and on, but this should give you a first idea about me... :-)
