Not much to say just yet. Got a german university degree (Translating; main focus on Humanities - Literature, Art, Music, Theatre etc.) and an English MA degree (Translating; with Merit). After that (end of 2013) I have only had one 'real' job which was to translate a book for the German publisher Franz Vahlen Verlag (in print by the end of 2014)

Literature (reading, writing, translating), Linguistics (esp. Psycholinguistics)

Art, Creative Writing, Linguistics, Literature, Psycholinguistics, sociology, subtitling, Translation - English to German

I started watching TED videos while I was working on my MA Dissertation about a year ago. I found almost all the topics and all the speakers inspiring enough to keep my brain going and at the same time theysort of 'distracted' me from all the specialised literature that I had to study for my work. So thanks to TED my ideas did not become monotonous during that time ... after I finished studying I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to translate a book by TED speaker Don Norman (the Design of Everyday Things; in print by the end of 2014) for a big German publisher which somehow made me feel even more connected to TED. I'm watching TED talks almost on a daily basis and my thoughts are begging me not to stop that...
