The large majority of my regular customers are based abroad, mostly in Europe. I only have two Portuguese clients: a lawyer with whom I work once in a while and a colleague with whom I work more often (split projects).

Over time, I've had clients from all the continents except Antarctica (one was very close, in Tierra del Fuego). ▲ Collapse
