Recipe for Success

Translator. Traveler. Entrepreneur.

I am a French freelance translator (I translate from English and Italian to French and specialize in tourism , marketing, and humanitarian development ).

But I’m also…

A Traveler.

Who went to dozens of countries and made his dream come true while backpacking solo around Asia for six months. I am an adept of slow travel and even though I loved sleeping in 5 star hotels when I worked as a tour leader, my style is more about hitchhiking, backpacking, Couchsurfing and improvising: less is more! I traveled 25 times in Italy before settling in Emilia Romagna. I can’t possibly imagine traveling to a country without learning the language, eating as spicy as local and make friends.

I don’t tick boxes, I collect memories such as the days I attended an Indian wedding, the day I helped an Indian friend to move out or the day I went for 50km trek in Morocco. I’m not on Instagram but I do have a travel blog. I am a digital nomad and regularly translate content for the tourism industry. I collaborate with Lonely Planet. My favorite countries are Italy, India and Thailand.

A People Person.

I teach networking at ISIT, one of the most famous translation schools in the world.
My former bosses all say their customers highly appreciated my interpersonal skills and the way I connect with people. My former coworkers all say they appreciated working with someone who values sincerity and instantly connects with anyone.

Along with a team of 7 fellow translators, I manage a network of 700+ professional translators (shall you have specific translation needs, I would be happy to help you find the perfect match for your translation project from/to French). If you’re a translator and translate from/to French, you can send me a message and I might invite you to join our community.

A Polyglot.

When not working or traveling, I work on my language skills. I speak 8 languages but only translate from my two strongest languages into French, my native language.

An Athlete.

I practice table tennis for almost 15 years and won several titles. I now practice Muay Thai.
Passion and perseverance helped overcome many personal and professional challenges, as well as not giving up while running half marathons.

Why did I go freelance and created a company named Treiñnomad?

In 2018, I searched for my Ikigai and realized three things:

  • I wanted to make the most of my language skills,
  • I wanted to do a work that would fulfill my needs and desires (travelling the world whenever I wanted to)
  • I wanted to be an entrepreneur.

I graduated in translation and opened my freelance business. This is how Treiñnomad was born.

2018
In 2018 Maël founded Treiñnomad. What began as a search for Ikigai, turned into a desire to use languages as a traveling entrepreneur.
