Welcome to “Aly Working from Home,” a space where I, Alyssa, share my journey and insights from my cozy corner of the internet. As I approach my 30th birthday in 2024, I reflect on my vibrant path as a content creator, blogger, and YouTuber, all from the comfort of my home.
My adventure began after graduating with a degree in Computer Science from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and furthering my education with a post-grad in Digital Marketing at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Since 2016, I’ve been immersed in the world of professional blogging, starting with my first venture, Alyssa Prado Blog, where I shared my passion for shopping while traveling. My journey continued with Blogueira Inteligente, a project close to my heart, where I guide aspiring bloggers on their path to success.
But here, at “Aly Working from Home,” it’s all about the lessons I’ve learned and the experiences I’ve gathered over the last eight years of working from home. I’m a bit obsessed with creating the perfect office setup (but who isn’t?). I believe in the power of an ergonomic workspace – from keyboards and mice designed for comfort to the right chair and desk that support your body and boost productivity.
This blog is my latest endeavor to share a treasure trove of tips for anyone embarking on or navigating the work-from-home lifestyle. Whether you’re a freelancer, a remote employee, or running your own business from your living room, I’m here to share what I’ve learned about staying productive, comfortable, and balanced.
Join me as I unravel the secrets to a successful home office, the tools that make a difference, and the little joys of working where you live. “Aly Working from Home” isn’t just a blog; it’s a community for sharing, learning, and growing together in our remote work journeys!
