Dear Andy,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tatsuya. I am a translator and a hiker myself, living in Tokyo Japan. I am preparing a website that gives worldwide trail information to Japanese hikers and wondered if it's OK to translate your article about John Muir Trail into Japanese and post it on my website. Your article is very exciting and full of practical information too. If you allow me to do that, I'd really appreciate it. And of course I add your name and website link to the translated articles.
Best regards,
Tatsuya
Hi Tatsuya, thanks for your message. Yes, please translate my page and share it. Please also check out and share www.andyandlaurie.com

Best,
Andy
