Spanish to English: Tourism Document
Source text - Spanish Pucon se encuentra ubicado a los pies del majestuoso Volcán Villarrica, en la Novena Región de la Araucanía, a tan solo 100 km, de su capital regional Temuco y a 870 km de Santiago de Chile. A escasos 90 km. se encuentra el paso fronterizo con Argentina cuyo nombre es Mamuil Malal / Tromen. Emplazada en la precordillera en medio de lagos, ríos, parques nacionales y termas, esta pequeña y hermosa ciudad se ha convertido en el destino favorito de quienes buscan entretención, adrenalina, descanso, naturaleza y conectividad por nombrar algunas. Para describir una ciudad dinámica como lo es Pucón depende de la estación del año en que se visite. Se puede encontrar con un Pucón apacible y descongestionado con ofertas convenientes durante la temporada baja que comprende desde marzo a noviembre. Centros termales y sus alrededores nevados son paisajes de ensueño que le permiten pasear entre la nieve y el vapor de las aguas con sólo un traje de baño puesto. Con la llegada de las vacaciones de invierno y la apertura de la temporada de nieve (Julio al 12 de Octubre) vuelve el movimiento a las calles de Pucón, es posible observar un clima netamente montañés. De todas partes de Chile, Brasil y Argentina llegan los buscadores de la nieve polvo para deslizarse con destreza y estilo por los faldeos del Villarrica, entre otros, también cuentan apasionados por la fotografía, que por esos días pueden hacer del Volcán y sus atardeceres una postal de lujo. Pero sin duda son las fiestas de fin de año y las vacaciones de verano las que mueven la mayor cantidad de visitantes. Se estima para esta temporada alrededor de 16.000 veraneantes, concentrándose la llegada de la mayor cantidad de personas para navidad y año nuevo. Posteriormente se van rotando de quincena en quincena. Un flujo que permite satisfacer la demanda de alojamiento ya que se encuantran desde hoteles cinco estrellas, hostales y hospedaje y cabañas considerando, además que muchas de las viviendas de los Puconinos se transforman en arriendo de casas, entregando a las familias veraneantes variadas alternativas de acuerdo a su presupuesto. Como en cualquier ciudad del sur, un factor impredecible es el clima. Al respecto un dato anecdótico. Ningún sitio de meteorología puede ser tan exacto en su predicción del clima como lo es el fenómeno del “sobrero nuboso” que se forma sobre el cráter del Volcán que anuncia sin lugar a dudas lluvia segura. Este fenómeno natural se puede observar sólo los días nublado a parcial o despejado. En lo inesperado está el encanto de las vacaciones en Pucón, en cada cuadra de sus calles principales se puede encontrar con una invitación diferente: ascensos al volcán, rafting, etnoturismo, canopy, termas, city tour, paint ball, entre otras invitaciones culinarias que van desde la comida casera tradicional hasta sushi y comida fusión. Es cuestión de decidir. Bailar frenéticamente en alguna disco, o simplemente esperar el atardecer en la playa, ó ambas, todo depende del entusiasmo.	Translation - English Pucon is situated at the foot of the majestic Villarrica volcano, in the Novena region of Araucania. It is only 100km from the regional capital Temuco and 870km from Santiago de Chile. And the Argentine border and Mamuil Mamal/Tromen mountain pass lie only 90km away. Located in the Andean foothills and surrounded by lakes, rivers, national parks and hot springs, this picturesque little town has become the favourite destination for those seeking entertainment, excitement, relaxation, nature and connectivity to name but a few. Pucon is often described as a dynamic town, but this really depends on which time of year you choose to visit. During the low season from March to November, Pucon is calm and quiet with great offers available. You can visit the dream-like landscapes of the hot springs surrounded by snow, and can even walk between the snow and the water vapour wearing only your bathers. Life returns to the streets of Pucon at the start of the winter holidays and the arrival of the snow season (July to mid-October). At this time you can experience the true mountain climate. Winter sports aficionados arrive to skillfully and stylishly speed down the slopes of Villarrica and other resorts throughout Chile, Brazil and Argentina. The volcano at dusk can also be a real picture for photography enthusiasts. However, it is still the New Year’s parties and summer holidays that attract the most visitors. It is estimated that around 16,000 holiday-makers visit during this period, with the highest number arriving in time for Christmas and New Year. After this time they come and go on a fortnightly basis. Accommodation for this steady influx includes 5-star hotels, bed and breakfasts, hostels and chalets. Also, many of the inhabitants of Pucon actually let out their own accommodation during the high season. This provides further alternatives for visiting families depending on their budget. As in all southern towns, one unpredictable factor is the weather. Here’s an anecdote: No meteorological site can be as exact in its weather forecast as the phenomenon known as "sobrero nuboso" or "spare cloud"; a cloud which forms over the crater of the volcano and without fail indicates coming rainfall. This natural phenomenon can only be seen on clear days. The charm of holidays in Pucon lies in the unexpected. On every corner of the main streets you can find different offers: trips up the volcano, rafting, ethno-tourism, parachuting, hot springs, city tours and paint balling to name just a few. Culinary experiences on offer range from traditional home cooking to sushi and contemporary fusion cuisine. Dancing the night away in a disco or simply watching the sun set over the ocean, or both – the choice is yours!

About me

I have always had a keen interest in both foreign languages and my own native tongue, English. I gained two years experience in translation while working within the language travel industry where my role included the translation of brochures and webpages containing information on locations, schools, accommodation and courses offered through the agency. I also have experience within the cash-in-transit, credit management and agricultural industries.

I hold a BA (Hons) Languages degree in which I gained a 2:1 with distinction. I have lived and studied in Latin America and France and have also worked in Spain.

I have been working freelance full time since November 2007 and really enjoy the variety of work, and the attention to detail required. My portfolio includes travel & tourism, certificates & CVs, media & communication, business & commerce and technical manuals.

I am reliable and well-organised. I am also very happy working under pressure and to tight deadlines.
