Hi everyone,

don't be afraid of my name- English translation is Larry and everybody call me in that way (in Portuguese, I believe, it is Lourenço).

What to say... I'm interested in history, though I ended up being a tax lawyer. I also graduated kremlinology / eastern studies, so I speak Russian and I've travelled a little bit in the countries that used to be part of Soviet Union (profile photo is from Ulan-Ude in Buryatia). Of course I love to travel not only there - I just regret that I don't have enough time for this. I love basketball and regularly watch Boston Celtics' games. I like good beer and "pubing", but clubbing on the other hand is not my sort of activity. What else... I'm quite chaotic and disordered person, but so far I'm alive, so it's not that bad.

Até logo :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Nagorno Karabakh Republic

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Polish language, including how to pronounce my name or phrase "w Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie". If you would like to know something about Polish culture or history or other things about Poland, I'm all yours. Since I know Russian, I can be of help also in that regard.

What I would like to learn? Better question is what you are able to teach me ;)
