About me

After finishing my degree in Modern Languages and their Literatures (combination German and Italian) at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) in 2019, I decided to study for a Master's degree in Translation Sciences at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. Since 2021 I have been an entrepreneur in the world of translation and my dream is, like many people, to make this world a better place to live in. My contribution is to help companies dedicated to ecological tourism, sustainable food, responsible consumption and many others to grow, so that their message can reach more people.

Let me introduce myself

I am María Martín-Peñasco Fuertes, creator of ecotradES. I am a freelance translator based in Germany, and my life is based on these three pillars:

Languages

Translation, linguistics... I have been passionate about literature since I was a child, I have been a compulsive reader all my life and I have taken several courses in creative writing.

Nature

Ecology, ethical consumerism... Nature has always inspired me in a special way and I believe that it is our responsibility to take care of our home the way it deserves.

Photography

Since 2014 I have had my camera with me wherever I go. Photography helps me to reconnect with nature and to focus on the beauty of small details.
