Trying new things. Traveling. TEDx events. Weird experiences. Technology. Behavior. The universe. Human evolution. Tweaking stuff for optimal use. Capturing beautiful moments with my camera lens.

We are programmed to win discussions, to retain connections, not to find the truth.

Following since early 2007. Wanting to do something like TED since 2004. I've organized 13 large TEDx events and many smaller ones. In 2022 I produced the first ever TEDx event in the form of a movie and showed it in cinemas. I attended TED Active 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, TED Global 2014, 2019, TEDx Summit, 2 TED Summits, TED Fest and 20 other TEDx events, organized 11 TEDx Southern Cone Organizers Workshops (100 attendees from 35 TEDx events the last one), an online workshop (909 attendees from 30 countries and 240 events). Gave a TEDx Talk. I've helped training 2 speakers for the TED stage, translated a dozen TED talks and many TEDx Talks :) Still not enough TED for me!
