Benefits of working with a freelance translator
I offer professional quality work with more than 22 years of experience, passionate engagement, and a respectful genuine relationship with the client to solve any questions that arise.
While a translation agency will certainly provide a decent service, by working with me you will get the benefits that only dedicated personal treatment can bring to a project.
- Personalized and direct communication
- Flexibility in carrying out projects
- Responsiveness to individual conditions
- More affordable than an agency
- Projects created from start to finish by one person

My vision of the sector and work principles
The translation sector, like everywhere these days, is immersed in digitization. Machine translation is the cheapest option but also the most impersonal. As translators, we continue to be the guarantee of careful and professional work that reflects the true image of a company, its style and personality. The basis of my life and my business are those values that allow me to grow and improve every day. Freedom, simplicity, and honesty are at the top of my list.
Professional goals
My professional objective is to continue growing, working on projects with interesting people that are in line with my values and lifestyle. Empathy is a fundamental part of my relationship with clients, and I use my skills to relate to the client and meet their desired milestones. Closeness, values, empathy, trust.
I am Begoña Eladi Goicoechea, professional freelance translator and graduate of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
I studied translation because since I was little I have devoured books and loved travel, another of my passions. Both books and travel connect you to other ways of living and thinking.
In 1999 I discovered that I only needed a table, a chair and a computer to develop my profession and have maximum mobility. My mobile office. Today, I am one of the digital nomads. I would not change it for anything. It allowed me to start my lastest adventure 3 years ago: living with my incredible golden retriever in a van, and now two wonderful border collies have joined us.
There is nothing like working in front of a luscious landscape or the sea, the best place to rest your eyes from the screen.
