My work has been published in the South China Morning Post, National Geographic Traveller India, Culture Trip, BootsnAll.com, GoNOMAD, and elsewhere.

    I’ve translated the following from German into English:

    - a GDPR/data protection-related website
    - technical content on hydrography
    - a piece of text on esoterism
    - a few pages of a handwritten diary
    - Fabry-related medical content
    - Martial arts-related video content    

    Here’s what I’ve changed from English to German:

    - wine-related marketing copy
    - a lead generation website
    - a luxury fashion site
    - a complex document on bio-resonance technology
    - website content about IT services
    - pet products-related blog posts
    - app-related content
    - travel-related text about a day trip in Germany
    - various tennis, squash, and yoga-related product descriptions
    - Amazon product descriptions
    - a booklet for children
    - razor-related text
    - makeup remover pad text
    - text on LED lighting
    - coffee and water filter-related content

    Working in another industry? Don’t fret, we Swiss are rightly called sticklers for perfection. Should there be any technical terms, I’ll do my research. Whatever the content you’d like me to translate, you can bank on receiving a proper translation – on time and often in advance of time.

    Check out my clients’ feedback. All those who’ve taken the time to rate my work have awarded me five stars, the highest score. Want to take a peek at the quality of my translations? Ask me to show you some work samples.

    My mother tongue, which is German, and the fact that I’ve passed both the Cambridge CPE and the Cambridge CELTA, prove that I am a qualified English/German translator. Besides, I have that feeling a translator needs when it comes to interpreting idioms and phrases.

    CPE stands for Certificate of Proficiency in English. The CPE is a level C2 certificate – it proves extremely high-level proficiency in English. CELTA – which is a level 5 certificate – is the abbreviation for Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults.

    What’s in it for you if you hire me?
    I create authentic travel pieces with a dash of humour. It’s my passion to write first-person narratives in the past tense, but I can also take a more journalistic, reportage approach, so objective impressions and facts.

    I provide travel writing services that will keep your readers coming back for more and engage new audiences, too. My stories have a point and will lead people into your sales funnel where you can convert them into paying customers.

    I understand that meeting deadlines is important to you. I can save you time and will deliver according to your editorial requirements, always on schedule and free of errors.

    Do you need a reliable ENG-GER-ENG translator or travel writer? Then smash your keyboard and shoot over an email.

    Fees and Quotes

    If you're worried that your budget might be too tight to afford me, you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm happy to tailor my services to make sure that my fees are within your budget. I typically turn around an article in a week, but if you have an urgent deadline looming over you, reach out to me and I’ll see that I can help.

    Interested?

    I craft articles in both UK and US English. Check out my customers' feedback and email me to discuss your travel- or translation-related project.

      Hard to know where to begin.

      Look elsewhere.

      I have mixed feelings about this client; hence, only three stars. Writing an ebook on becoming a successful freelancer in a month seemed like an exciting project. However, when I asked Mike whether he wanted me to write in UK or US English, he ignored the question. I sent him the chapter names and suggested a few headings. He chose the title “How to Become a Successful Freelancer in a Month” and didn’t comment on the chapter names. I concluded he was okay with the chapters. After I sent the first draft, he quickly gave feedback and said his feeling was that it was good but that I’d have to stop using gendered language. After marking up everything, he said again that overall, it was good. He just said my use of idioms slowed the reading cadence. He also suggested I divide the tasks into days rather than chapters since the heading was “How to Become a Successful Freelancer in a Month.” Why didn’t he tell me in the first place that he wanted everything divided into days? That was not just about figuring out what to do on days 1, 5, 10, etc. It also meant I’d have to change the section breaks in Word to amend the headers. I told him that was a lot of work that we hadn’t agreed on and that he’d have to pay extra for that. As for his criticism about my use of idioms - I admit I was being oversensitive, and my answer was inappropriate; I couldn’t help feeling “lectured.” But what followed afterwards was not okay. To cut a long story short, he requested edits but no longer wanted to work with me due to my response. I offered to do the edits, but he insisted that the two of us were “not in sync.” He haggled, and eventually, I gave him a discount of £250 because he refused to pay the total amount even though I’d delivered the manuscript of the whole ebook, which was, I quote, “overall, it’s good.” I agree that my response to his criticism was inappropriate, but so was his haggling. He chose not to complete the project with me, so he shouldn’t have received a discount.

      Dear Mike, two stars don't match your words, "overall, it's good." I'm going to report your review as defamation.
