About

Hello, I’m glad you’re here!

I’m Andrea Weckerle, founder and communications specialist.

Having lived in four countries and nine U.S. states, I’ve met people from many different backgrounds and nationalities. From these experiences I learned that a successful life is made up of close and supportive relationships, a lifestyle that fosters physical and emotional health, and a commitment to helping make the world a better place.

The hashtag for my personal philosophy can be described as #ReadyLiving.
