Background
Having studied physics and philosophy at university I had a restaurant for ten years in London. In 1999 I sold everything and moved to France, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, where I have been living ever since with my partner and seven year old son. I have worked as a translator for nine years, mainly for agencies.

We moved to Bordeaux in February 2009.
