Bio
Hello! My name is Valeria. I started watching TED Talks videos even before I started studying translation in university and now that I am finally a professional translator I am super glad to be able to join the TED translators community. I want the talks to reach people whose languaje is other than English and hopefully the TED talks videos give them hope and strength just like they did to me. I am thrilled to be a volunteer and part of this wonderful community.
I'm passionate about
Languages! I love learning languages by myself, but I enjoy learning in general as well. I love translating too but that is kind of obvious, isn't it? hahah. Music is something that I'm also passionate about. There are many instruments that I like to play although I am not very good at any of them.
An idea worth spreading
Don't be afraid of talking about the things that you like even if it they seem weird to many others, the right people will never leave you. The right people will share your happiness and will love hearing you talk about your hobbies and the things that make you happy. Always remember that life is actually too short. Let's enjoy smelling the grass and the mud, let's hear all sounds around us, let's feel how the wind makes our hair touch or cheeks, and let's appreciate the life itself.
