Message from Andrea

Hi Everyone, Thanks for joining us. This month we talk to: Eve Yen, founder of Diamond Wipes International - a US$15 million company that produces one million wipes a day; Sandra Espinet, an interior designer who has set up several successful design businesses abroad; and serial volunteer Nola Lee Kelsey, about her new guidebook, The Voluntary Traveler.

Thanks go to: Rebecca Wells, for her article 10 Tips For Your Career Change; Amanda van Mulligen, for her interview with expat entrepreneur Linda Hemerik; and to our Expat Women Girlfriend for her response to the confession about divorce, Picking Up The Pieces.

If your business is trying to tap into expat websites, you may find useful our article (originally written for a corporate audience), Making Expat Websites Work For Your Business.

Finally, if you are in Kuala Lumpur or Amsterdam, please come and say hi at the expat fairs this month.

Best wishes for a sensational October!

Andrea
