About the Author
My name is Juliette Giannesini. I also go by “Zhu”, my Chinese name.
I work as a freelance translator (English, French, and occasionally Mandarin) and bilingual copywriter, copyeditor and proofreader. I write all the articles on Correr Es Mi Destino and I manage the blog in my spare time.
I became a permanent resident in Canada in 2005 and a Canadian citizen in 2009. I was born and raised in Nantes, France, and I’m now based in Ottawa, Canada’s national capital. I’m also a backpacker, so you will often find me on the road.
I blog in English and I’m fluent in French and Mandarin. I also speak some Spanish and Portuguese.
