Who I am
I am Polish and I was born in Warsaw in 1989. I first traveled to Brazil in 2010 as an exchange student. Since then Brazil has a special place in my heart and has become my second home. I am a big fan of Brazilian picanha, classic sertanejo and Jorge Amado's books. By learning Portuguese, I opened the door to a whole new world that never ceases to amaze me.
Bio
I hold a PhD in History from the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences (2021) and MA in History of the Portuguese Empire from Nova University of Lisbon (2018).
