In 1983, at the age of 24, Lars came to Brazil in his endeavor to see the world while deciding on what professional paths to follow. This led him to language teaching, mainly English but also Swedish, in language schools and many domestic and international companies. This in turn led him into translating in the late 1980s and he has been a fulltime freelance translator since the mid 90s, specializing in marketing, IT and technical as well as literary and subtitling of films and television.
