The magic of the Internet makes it all possible
After paying my dues as a subtitler in Paris and a TV producer & translator in Berlin, my German wife and I packed up our belongings in 2001 and headed for the breathtaking wilderness of the Arctic, where we can contemplate the icebergs drifting by our office window. I can't think of a more inspiring place to juggle verbs and adjectives or ponder the best translation of "Vollstreckungsunterwerfungsklausel". Thanks to the magic of the Internet (which only arrived in Greenland a few years ago), I can live on top of the world, yet remain in close contact with clients. We've never regretted the move.

Translator in Greenland
In addition to being the only translator you will probably ever meet who lives in Greenland, I'm a stickler for accuracy, always searching for "le mot juste." For the past 17 years, I've worked in journalism, advertising, and public relations. I do translations in a wide range of fields, including art, architecture, corporate design, and automotive engineering … and slightly more exotic areas like raspberry cultivation techniques and ergonomic footwear.

Connected and linked
Now that we've finally sold off the igloo (the damn roof leaked) and moved into an office with central heating and broadband Internet access, we're totally connected and linked with the outside world. Skype also allows us to place inexpensive calls, making it even easier to work for customers and keep in touch with colleagues thousands of kilometers away from the frozen wastes. The world is getting smaller, the ice cap is rapidly melting, and we're doing our best to stay on top of it all.
