I’m no longer the social being I once was and I love working and living alone. Anyway, I am in frequent contact with some Proz members and with my ex-colleagues in Brussels but we don’t make a community…

Local and online Jul 2

When possible, I participate in some local meetings in Bologna or in my region. That's a very good way of sharing experiences, advices and whatever. I like it.
Then, I sometimes seek some online forums to discuss with colleagues.

In my town I sometimes meet some colleagues, but this is a rare occasion.

I had a large group of translator friends when I worked in Barcelona but now in Munich I am very much the only translator in the village. There are many more contacts here in my other career of "studio jeweller". This has its pluses and negatives...
