Striving for... things.

One of the main reasons for starting a blog was to ensure that if/when i start doing independent translation work, I could post updates and receive commissions here. The other goal was to put myself out there, to tell people hey, here's a skilled translator for you. It's my dream to be doing freelance translating as a full-time job one day. As such, my skillset at the moment only includes Japanese to English, English to Japanese, Finnish to English, English to Finnish and Swedish to Finnish As well as interpreting prowess in Japanese, Finnish and Swedish. I hope to expand my skills to include Korean and Chinese some time in the future hopefully. I can also typeset to some extent now ;w;

Right now I'm fully focused on Japanese and I hope that I will be able to find a career where I would need it. I am currently using my Japanese skills in private projects only, which is not ideal. In the mean time though I'm also going to gather studies in Intercultural communication to maybe find a career in diplomacy or international business relations.

For now I'm content with translating hentai (hey, it's simple at least ;w;) for a very small audience, but I hope the future has more in store for me.

I'll probably talk more about Japanese and Japan in general some time soon to illustrate why I've chosen to study it.
