Hi guys.

What do you think about my translation? Please correct any mistakes you can spot. Thanks.

The orgin in English:

"I finished university in 2003 and decided to go for a gap year. But I liked it so much that I can't stop. It's so great to travel through the world meeting amazing people. Why should I stop? smile

At the moment I realize my big dream - "trip of my life" around South America which I started on 22nd of June 2011 and it will last for about 1.5 years."

My translation into Spanish

"Me gradué de la universidad en el a?o 2003 y decidi tomar un a?o sabático. Pero me gustólo mucho y no puedo dejar de viajar. Es muy bueno viajar alrededor del mundo conociendo gente interesante. Por qué terminar? smile

Ahora realizo de mi gran sueño - "el viaje de mi vida" alrededor de Sur América que empecé el 22 de junio de 2011 y que tendrá una duración de alrededor de 1,5 años."

Me gradué de la universidad el año 2003 y decidí tomar un año sabático. Me gustó mucho pues no puedo/quiero dejar de viajar. Es buenísimo recorrer el mundo conociendo gente interesante. Por qué terminar?

Ahora realizo/realizaré mi gran sueño - "el viaje de mi vida" alrededor de América del Sur/ Sudamérica que empieza/empezará el 22 de junio de 2011 y que dura/durará casi 1,5 años.**"

The 22nd of June 2011 isn't here yet, correct?

Is that good? Please let me know! smile

You don't need "a" in "decidí a tomar un año sabático", unless it was "me decidi a tomar..." or "le decidí a tomar..." - 002067fe, Jun 7, 2011
I think she actually meant "realizo/realizaré mi gran sueño" as in making it a reality. - 002067fe, Jun 7, 2011
Thanks Tom that's very useful. I'll definitely include that :) - GuitarWarrior, Jun 7, 2011
You're welcome, buddy. Just a little thing; typo there: "...alrededor del américa del sur..." should be "...alrededor de América del Sur" or "alrededor de Sudamérica" (Yep, S-u-d) - 002067fe, Jun 7, 2011
Ughh... I can't type without leaving some kind of typo somewhere! :) Thanks!!! - GuitarWarrior, Jun 7, 2011
Thanks guys. It was very helpfule. I'll use "empezó" (started) though coz I'm going to use this text after 22nd of June :) - krisfrompoland, Jun 10, 2011
