Currently, all my clients are based in the same country as me (Spain). So I don't have to worry about overseas billing and things like that.

Most of my clients are international organizations in Washington, D.C., and I live in California. Of the work I receive from these clients, maybe 80% originated in other countries. The rest are documents prepared by their Hq staff.

I also work for agencies in the U.S., Japan, Europe, and occasionally Latin America, though most Latin American agencies tend to hire locally, where the rates are lower. In the past I have also had clients in China, Singapore, and Mozambique.

I have a couple of clients in Belgium and Spain, but since they are in the euro zone I barely consider them to be "foreign countries".
That would be 10% of my clients, but in terms of volume it would be more like 5%.

And I thank God every day for that. I want to reach 100%.
