About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know myself better.

ABOUT ME

I love languages and it's functioning, how it reflects a culture and a way of understanding the world around us. I do love literature, in special, Russian literature and maybe for this reason I had graduated on this matter. I worked as a translator in a Company, and now I'm teaching Russian in the University in Rio de Janeiro.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that knowing new people and places is a very good way to know yourself. My experiences in life have showed me that differences make people more interesting...
