New Office, New Perspectives

Sometimes, moving is all it takes. A change of scenery has given me the courage to think bigger!

A year and four months have passed since my arrival in Berlin. Much has happened – professionally as well as personally.

Yet so much remains the same. 

I’m a translator at a large firm, and work generously supplies me with bounties of bureaucratic hassles and red tape in such enormous amount, that I am more in charge of overseeing process rather than I am expected to actually translate and write. 

Me writing is now but a mere vestige of former glory.

But, aha! This now leaves room for new thinking, and new ideas!

Because now, I am in charge of copy writing in big projects – reaching tens of thousands of people, every day.

That I find myself in a new, unexpected place is not necessarily detrimental to my life – no, it is just so.

Because in the horizon, I am starting to see certain elements assemble, suggesting greater things are in store.

On the famed Berlin boulevard Unter den Linden, you will find prestigious institutions such as the French Embassy, the Humboldt University, the German Presidency Office... and me!
