Gateways Portugal by Olivia H
Logistics Support
I am an expat myself who has lived in more than six countries. I have degrees in business management and Portuguese, and am fluent in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish and German.
Having lived in, left, and then returned to Portugal 8 years later, I have experienced first-hand the bureaucratic challenges that can arise from not being thorough in closing out previous arrangements in Portugal before embarking on a new journey.
With a 100% success rate, since 2015 I’ve been helping foreigners (“expats”) move and invest in Portugal. With a commitment to helping others avoid similar pitfalls, I emphasise the value of patience and persistence in ensuring a smooth transition. Join us in our “Leaving Portugal” workshop to gain insights and practical advice for a successful move from Portugal.

Expat Journey Program
Mindset & Emotional Support
I am an expat coach and intercultural psychologist.
Also, as a seasoned expat, I have lived, studied, and worked in 5 different countries on 3 continents.
My own experience, coupled with my observation of other people’s experiences, motivated me to search for answers as to why we sometimes fail when moving to a new culture, and more importantly how to increase the chances of success.
This quest led me to pursue a Master’s in Intercultural Psychology and complete a coaching certification at ICC (International Coaching Community). I am also a certified trainer and NLP Practitioner.
With these tools in hand, I help expats and expats-to-be so they can overcome the challenges of moving and create their best life abroad through 1:1 coaching, group programs, online courses and workshops.
