Bio

I am Jean Burton, a passionate traveler and language enthusiast. My life is a constant adventure, punctuated by explorations and linguistic discoveries. Born and raised in a multicultural family, I have been fortunate to be immersed in an environment where languages and cultures blend harmoniously from a young age.

From my teenage years, I have felt a deep fascination for foreign languages. Their diversity has always enchanted me, and I decided to pursue studies in foreign languages at university, where I honed my language skills in several languages, including English, Spanish, and Mandarin.

However, it is my travels that have truly fueled my passion for languages. I have been fortunate to travel the globe, discovering distant lands and immersing myself in the languages and cultures of the places I visited. Whether wandering through the bustling streets of Tokyo, basking on the sun-drenched beaches of Rio de Janeiro, or exploring the vibrant markets of Marrakech, I have always seized every opportunity to enrich my linguistic repertoire and broaden my cultural horizons.

Over the years, I have become a proficient polyglot, able to communicate fluently in a wide range of languages. This language proficiency has not only opened doors to new experiences and opportunities but has also allowed me to forge deep connections with the people I have met during my travels.

Today, I share my passion for languages and travel through my work as a translator and interpreter, helping others overcome linguistic barriers and explore the world with greater understanding and openness.

Outside of work, I enjoy sharing my travel experiences and linguistic knowledge through my blog, where I recount my adventures and provide practical tips to travelers and language enthusiasts worldwide. For me, each new language learned and each new country visited are exciting chapters in a life dedicated to discovery and continuous learning.
