About Andreia

"Study hard, work hard, buy a house, live for the weekends, retire at 65." - That's what Andreia knew since she was a child. And like everybody else around her, she thought that this was normality. An unhappy period in her life forced her to snap out of this model. From 9-5 safe jobs to self-employment, the road wasn't easy. She had to re-program my whole set of beliefs and habits.

Now she's doing work aligned with her values and around her lifestyle. She helps young entrepreneurs to establish a digital presence when they launch their businesses. Andreia live in places she was only dreaming of going on vacations and waking up without an alarm is part of her daily routine. She doesn't believe in retirement and she does think we need to work tirelessly to see our dreams a reality now!
