About

Photo by Francesca La Manna

My name is Lavinia Borhy, I'm 24 years old and I'm Italian, even though I'm the great-granddaughter of an Hungarian and a Croatian. I grew up in Civitavecchia, a town on the west coast of Italy only 80 km North-West of Rome, but I currently live in Berlin, the City where everything is possible!

Since I was a baby I have always loved foreign languages and, above all, that  sense of strange one experiences when listening to other people speak without understanding what they say. This amazing feeling is what led me to love and study foreign languages, making them my main interest, a good source of employment and one of my favourite hobbies.

When asked what I want to do "when I grow up", the answer is simple: I would like to be a lifelong learner, learn a new language each year, get to know its country, people and culture, experiencing the impact they have on me. Maybe it would be a stressing lifestyle, but it would definitely be  a good way to keep boredom away!

I started this blog in the early 2012, when I was about to graduate, Interpreting and Translation, obviously. The blog was to be a significant part of our thesis defence, a mean to show our communication skills, as well as to make our own thesis available on the Internet.

Today, 8 months after my Degree, I decided to give new birth to my blog and to make it grow bigger. You will anyway get the chance to read my thesis and some of my thoughts, give a look at some of the pictures I take during my free time and my numerous journeys and, last but not least, ask for translation services.

You will use the Contact page for you enquiries and you'll be able to get to know more about my skills in the page dedicated to my Work experience. And, maybe, reading my thoughts you will also get to know how much I love to translate and recreate descriptions and feelings in another language!
