The Story
About us
We decided to leave Portugal and go back to central Europe to extend our skill set and to grow capital, but it turned out to be a little nightmare of isolation, depressed episodes and always running after the next paycheque. After we decided to change our lives for the better and return to Portugal we wanted to gain our financial freedom like other people through Dropshipping. Unfortunately, that would have included overconsumption and feeding the desire of spending money on low quality. We regrouped our ideas and focused on our moral compass, values, skills and the idea of the SouthStar was born. A place where people from all around the world are welcomed and share their beliefs in a better world. A place where we can learn from each other and be a part of a greener, more relaxed community.
Jack
He is a lover of languages and has travelled from country to country until choosing Portugal as his final destination. Working there from local Bars to being Manager of one of the top Hostels in the region, he didn't only learn the skill of a new language, he learnt how business works and how to treat people from all around the world to give them a once in a lifetime experience of Portugal. And with a qualification in Thermal hydraulics and a ‘Can do’ Attitude he is the most creative handyman and architect that can even turn trash into treasure
Emily
The quest for understanding different cultures, society, and politics made her aware of the importance of the climate and that we have to work together. Growing up in a bustling city, she has gradually discovered that her true satisfaction lies in the unhurried rhythms of a slower, more deliberate life. Exploring Nature and working together with animals, caring about our environment and creating real connections with people is something she puts over the so called hustle culture.
