Oana | Montégut-Arros, France

Oana loves to hike, and with the base of the Pyrenees just an hour from her door, she is grateful that she has a job that lets her work from anywhere.

Oana loves to hike, and with the base of the Pyrenees just an hour from her door, she is grateful that she has a job that lets her work from anywhere.

Oana is a translator who speaks English, French and Romanian, and she lives in a small town in southern France. She loves getting up early and watching the sun rise over the Pyrenees mountains (she can see them from her living room window), and she's also a big fan of reading, gardening and road trips.

Oana is learning Spanish right now, and rather than using a book or course, she's planning on spending more time in Spain and immersing herself in the culture.

"Translators are not dictionaries, and speaking two or more languages fluently does not necessarily qualify you for translation. It's a lot of hard work, skills, some talent and most certainly passion."

"I turn on my laptop, make coffee, start the fireplace and I do my best not to miss the sunrise," she says of her routine when she's at home.

"I think translation, just like any other form of traveling, opens new perspectives, pushes the horizon further and further away, giving you more freedom."
