Lauren Pelkey is a children's book author, blogger and entrepreneur based in Bogota, the capital of Colombia and one of the highest capital cities in the world at 8,661 feet above sea level.Lauren is no stranger to living life at the extremes.

In today’s interview, Lauren talks about applying for an Australian visa, getting approved only hours later and then quitting her job in fashion moving to Melbourne, Australia without knowing a soul. She talks about the time she stayed with a Hmong family in a one room house in the far north of Vietnam as a solo traveler.

What's more, she has had luck and adventure in her career as well, who has had to figure out how to create products, like her Wally the Wandering Wallaby children’s books and stuffed animal, all on her own.

She gained the street smarts and confidence to follow her instincts thanks to her time on the road. Lauren is originally from Massachusetts but has lived in Rome, Melbourne and now calls Bogotá, Colombia home.

This is the first show in a new series called International Impact, interviews with expat builders, creators and entrepreneurs whose products and services not only impact the world, but the key ingredient is the time spent abroad by the company’s founder.

Meet Clément Monnet - Founder & CEO of Cinessance, the Netflix of French Film. A serial entrepreneur living abroad for 10 years, Clement was continuously frustrated that he couldn't access quality French films outside of France. Only 3% of Netflix's catalog is French films, even though France is the world's second largest exporter of film, next to the United States.

Clément set about to solve the problem by launching Cinessance, a streaming platform for French film and an intercultural platform to bring french-language films and culture to francophiles, francophones and movie fans around the world.

Clément is a French expat who has lived on four continents in Europe, Asia, South America and is now based in Silicon Valley. He is a serial entrepreneur who got his start in the field of aviation, and has experience creating new businesses from scratch, including Voom, the “Uber for Helicopters”, which was incubated by Airbus, and Skydex (now Altaport), an “Airbnb for helipads”. Now he is matching his entrepreneurial roots with his expat experience to create Cinessance and make French film accessible for people around thew world.  .

 One year ago, Travis came home to his Los Angeles apartment after a run and said to his partner, David, "Let's get out of here." David is a singer and Travis is a writer / standup comic, and the two entertainers had lost most gigs due to the pandemic.

Despite having only ever traveled abroad once, David was more ready than ever to get out the US, and so the pair moved to Mexico. But then Travis convinced David to something even bolder than moving abroad... they officially became YouTubers! And thank goodness that they did.

David and Travis are known online as Cafe Con Leche Travels, and they are a queer, interracial, vegan couple who feel safe, seen and definitely 'satisfecho' (full of yummy vegan food) in Mexico. This interview reveals just how possible it is to live a happy life abroad, as long as you take the leap, and what an amazing country Mexico is to live in and discover!

When her daughter was around a year old, she saved up for her first international trip to Jamaica. Since then, she’s visited 38 more countries, 14 of those with her daughter.

Today, Libryia is a remote work advocate, coach and consultant based (for now) in Omaha working as an IT Project Manager.
