I was referring to Misako.

Did they specify they wanted the questions written out in Japanese?

Supposedly. At least, that's what I was told.

Almost correct. The particle issue again.(I know that it's indeed tough to choose the most appropriate particle.)

Mada RORITA FASSHON ga hiromatteinai kuni de, doko ka ittemitai tokoro wa arimasu ka?
or
Mada RORITA FASSHON ga hiromatteinai kuni no naka ni, doko ka ittemitai tokoro wa arimasu ka?

"Tokoro" performs as a pronoun for country here. "Ittemitai" sounds more natural for "you would like to go". (I should have to say this at the time, but this form can apply to your previous question "Do you have any places you would like to visit during your trip?" )

So I can use tokoro for just about any place, it seems. Okay then, so either one works? I thought 'no naka ni' would have been a bit odd, but it seems to work okay...

Okay, great.

What about the phrase "You are a registered nurse, right? Do you feel like you are leading a dual life?" which, frankly, I think might be a bit insulting. But I don't know if that's the case in Japanese.

What I have is, "Misako san wa kangoshi desu ne. Dakara, [nigenteki na?][seikatsuyoshiki] wa aru to [omotteirun desu ka?]"

I feel like I should be paying you all by now...

Uh, I've found this now but is this for a written question? If so, it might be better to revise some expressions in previous questions. I thought it was for a video interview or like that.

My attempt (for written question)
Misako san wa kangoshi de mo aru to ukagaimashita ga, nijuuseikatsu wo shiteiru to iu youna kankaku wa arimasu ka?

Well, thanks for all your help. I can't thank you enough, really. You've been really patient with me.

All the lessons you've given me will hopefully help me out a lot in the future.

Thanks again.
