As a post inspired by Inbox Translation's idea, in turn inspired by Olga Arakelyan’s post, let’s see how many things I love that I can list in 10 minutes.
- Languages - well, that's a no brainer
- Mexican food
- Pretzels - German style...the big, doughy ones you can buy at a market for €1
- Big cities - I always feel inspired and motivated by the hustle and bustle of urban life
- Travelling by metro/tram - I love being able to get around a gridlocked city in no time
- Cats - I'm a cat person. Yes, they may be selfish, but they make you earn their affection at least
- Meeting colleagues - I love getting to know other translators and linguists
- Toulouse - Where I worked for nine months. La Ville Rose will always have a special place in my heart
- Munich - Specifically Englischer Garten, a lush green paradise at the heart of Germany's third city
- Cardiff - My home town, of course, but the atmosphere is fantastic when there's an international sport or cultural event on in the city centre, which is every weekend
- Flying - Whether it's BA or Ryanair, it's still special when you travel by air
- Being helpful - Call me a people-pleaser, but I do selfishly enjoy helping others for whatever reason and appreciate it when others do the same
- Newcastle - my adopted home town and an underrated architectural gem in my opinion
- My fiancée!
- Warm Spanish evenings
- Badminton - I'm not too great at it, but it's great exercise and brings out my competitive edge
- Snow - I may be in my twenties, but it's still magical!
- Did I mention translation?
Thank you for accepting the challenge, Lloyd! Lovely to read about the things you like and to know you better. Yes, I am not surprised that you love languages and translation :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Lloyd! Yeah, languages and translation are kind of obvious, but that's what we live and breathe. Yay, another cat person!
ReplyDeleteHi Lloyd! Nice list :) I just wanted to mention that travelling by metro, flying and big cities are also some of my favourite things.
