I live in Berlin with my husband and daughter. 

I work as a full-time translator for a small translation firm, and have lived in Germany for over 10 years. 

I joined Tools to Life out of pure curiosity, but have found it to be a very positive, motivating experience thus far. 

I joined TOOLS because:
 ...it's never too late to try to make changes in your life.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 Translator for the United Nations.
My favorite wild animal is:
 A lemur
Why (describe as much as possible):
 When I worked at the zoo, the ring-tail lemur cage was right next to my building and we used to watch and listen to them mornings before the visitors arived. They are very family oriented and inteligent creatures. The mothers are extremely protective of their children.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Hamsters.
Why:
 They are very industrious little animals and require very little space. Also they have a sweet disposition and are very good family pets.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 Creme Brulee
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Jane Austen, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Novalis, Casper David Friederich, Dr. Samuel Johnson
Why:
 All in all it would be an interesting group to expand on the questions of literature and science in literature with this group of writers and artists.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 I most likely would not go just one place. First I would want to fly to Johannesburg, South Africa, then Sydney, Australia, to Auckland, New Zealand, up to Beijing,China, over to Dehli, India, up to St. Petersburg, Russia, and back home again.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 ..one without cheese.
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 A Cosmopolitan
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 A double espresso.
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 A house with a garden, to be financially well off so that I would not have to worry about money, and that everyone in the world had enough food and water.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Carmen by Bizet, Changes Bowie, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 That dog owners clean up after their dog.
A sunset I remember:
 Last fall, when the sky lit up in pinks and oranges. We all stood in the office and looked out over the balcony looking out over Berlin clothed in the pinks and orange sky.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 Elizabeth Bennett from _Pride and Prejudice_
Why:
 She has such an amazing wit and insight. And I would get to marry Mr. Darcy in the end.
