 Hello, Nostr #introductions

I'm Sanches. I'm from Brazil, currently in Brazil as well. 
I'm 34 years old, I have a dog, and I look playing computer games and watching football (with the foot, you know, 11 players each side) and vai Corinthians!

I have been working as a Portuguese for Foreigners and English teacher for the past 14 years. I have taught in Brazil and China (face to face) and Colombia, Chile, and Russia (online). So in case you ever decide to learn Portuguese, hit me up. I've been teaching a pretty solid course :))))

In a couple of weeks or months, I'll be traveling to Russia to study Математическое обеспечение и администрирование информационных систем as I got a scholarship from the government. I'm quite excited, studying Russian a lot. It'll be troublesome financially (I'm screwed) but hopefully I'm going to learn a new profession and become a good professional at that, too. 

I'm here mostly to learn about new technologies, to make some friends, and detox from twitter / meta / bluesky.

Nice to meet you all and see you around.

 Welcome aboard! The beauty of nostr is that you control your algo based on the people, hashtags, etc. that you follow.

So I'd recommend doing some cursory searching on topics of interest and follow people that you see post quality content there. 
 Thanks for the tips! 
 Welcome to Nostr! 😀
