About the Author

Born in Oxfordshire, I moved from the UK to Madrid in 1998.

I have been interested in mindfulness, happiness and spirituality since studying philosophy at Leeds University in the early ‘90s, and have helped to organise several large mindfulness events in Spain, including talks and retreats for the 2014 Spain tour of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and 50 of his monastics.

Apart from writing, I am also an outdoor landscape painter - see bencurtisart.com

I have taught Spanish via podcasts and videos for over 20 years with my wife Marina at notesinspanish.com
