Travel Tips

After graduation, when I accepted my first job as a translation worker; I thought it would be filled with opportunities to take long vacations. I guess I did not estimate the amount of time this job would require.As a translation worker, I have come to realize that most of us like to spend our time a lit bit differently than other people. Here are some vacation ideas for translation and interpretation workers that we think you will enjoy.

The first recommendation that I would like to provide is a trip to Chicago. The city of Chicago has many cultural opportunities to enjoy. Just visualize being awaken at dawn to journey down the Chicago River on a wooden boat and eventually reaching a small pottery community just north of the city and the beach of Lake Michigan. At this location, you will learn the skills required to make exceptional pottery from clay. These trips, organized in part by the Chicago Pottery Association have received great acclaim and media coverage since they began over a decade ago. The remarkable aspect is that the organizers have brought together leading experts from all over the world to develop an outstanding learning experience.

During your stay in Chicago, you will stay in a historic hotel that is famous among the Chicago Translation community. If you’re an early riser, you can catch scores of the saffron-robed, barefoot monks filing out of their monasteries, bearing gold-topped wooden alms bowls. They will be somewhat camouflaged by skyscrapers, heavy traffic and dense crowds of people on their way to work.

After a 45-minute trip down the river, the boat eventually lands at a dock on Lake Michigan where you are promptly met by local potters, tourists and your tour guide. The tourists have come from all over the Midwest to purchase all sorts of ceramic goods. Because this location is quite famous to the locals of Chicago, you can easily get directions from anyone. Although your daily excursion on the mighty river that cuts a swath through city streets lined with Dunkin Donuts, street vendors and high-rises goes to Lake Michigan, you can, on your days off (every potter needs a break), take the same river to museums, malls, restaurants and other attractions. Since Austin Translation workers like myself enjoy all of the cultural we can squeeze into our lives, we can definitely find some of those too.

Some people don’t like Chicago and let’s face it gets really cold in the winter and the rest of the time the skies can seem really gray. Therefore, you might prefer a crafty holiday in Philadelphia. Most people who visit the state of Pennsylvania, never get farther than the University of Pennsylvania, but those who do go on to explore some of the best historical sites in the United States. To really take one back to those days, we recommend a vacation spot located on an old American farm outside of Philadelphia. On the farm there are many wonderful learning opportunities that include learning how to make a number of crafts. This vacation comes highly recommended by some of the top Philadelphia Translation companies. When it’s time to take off from your Japanese, Russian, German or Japanese documents then many translators like to focus on rural crafts such as gilding, spinning raw fleece, and cane-chair making that many lament have taken a big hit as family farms bite the proverbial dust and the bucolic American countryside gives way to development, roads, and airplane traffic.
