Bio
I teach English to teenagers in a Spanish high school in Madrid. When I manage to keep my head above water, I read, write, cook, and laugh.
I'm passionate about
Learning, cooking, music, movies, reading, writing.

The TED story
I'm really not sure how it all started. I guess a colleague must have told me about it and then I sort of got drawn into it. Unfortunately, I don't get to watch as many talks as I used to, but I do find myself regularly recommending the site to friends, colleagues and students (I believe it's a great space to practice and improve one's English while learning about a variety of other topics). Most people thank me soon afterwards :) While not all talks are of interest to everyone, and their quality is uneven, I believe most people can find some that they can benefit from. I know I have.
