About

Olá! You can call me Dona Gretchen. From all the variations of my name that people have come up with here, this is the one that stuck. It is a bit more than two and a half years since I have been living in São Paulo, Brazil. It is quite awkward being an Estonian in Brazil. This is a tough challenge even for the adventurous and strong-hearted. You may ask: Why is being an Estonian in Brazil even worth writing about? Well, you might find an answer to this question from my first post (http://wp.me/p7ef2H-d), which explains what we, Estonians, are like.

Occupation

I am Employed.
