The TED story
I started watching TED talks since 2015. Some friends were posting them on Facebook and I got curious, so I looked up for TED website, got interested and started watching more talks.
In 2017 a TEDx event was organized for the first time in my city, and you had to apply to get accepted to the event (due to limited seats) and I got in! It was an incredible event full of great ideas!
Things you might not know
Writing. I spent some of my free time doing research in some outstanding topics or interesting facts I've hear about, and write about them.
