Job-to-freelancing
Dear Sir or Madame,
My name is Corina and I am an Argentinean Journalist and English teacher.
I have just joined this platform, and I am interested in writing for your project.
I can really identify with the experience of switching from day job to freelancing; I left my (almost 12 hour a day) job in the TV industry in November 2017 and started working as a writer/translator and as an English teacher, and have been doing it ever since. The story of how I got to that decision is definitely worth writing: I fell in love with a Brazilian guy and I started thinking about moving away to Rio de Janeiro, and how could I work living there. Still in my former job I looked for clients to translate or write for, and students to teach to. During that time my relationship ended, and I understood I wasn't doing the switch just to move away from Buenos Aires, but just because I wanted to seek that other lifestyle: I discovered how young and exhausted I was, and although I loved my job, I just wasn't happy.
That is my story, and I hope you find it interesting and useful for your project.
Please let me know any questions or doubts you might have,
Regards,
Corina
