In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the lovely Chloé Chamard - truly one of the kindest and sweetest people I've ever met!

Chloé is originally from France and moved to the UK last year in 2024. We talked about what made her fall in love with the UK and why she decided to make it her new home. She also shared her experience of looking for a job and navigating the big move to a new country.

Chloé is also a multilingual - she speak French, English, Spanish, and is currently learning Italian! We dove into what sparked her love for languages as well.

She runs a beautiful blog where she shares her life as a French expat in the UK. Whether you're an expat yourself or just curious about expat life, her blog is a must-read!

I absolutely loved our conversation, and I know you will too. Tune in and get inspired by Chloé's journey!

{🎉 Welcome to Season 2 of Self-Made Expats Podcast 🥳}

In the first episode of Season 2 (Yay!), I interviewed Sastya Wardani, the CEO & Co-Founder of PLans, a FemTech company based in Indonesia that empowers women by bridging healthcare providers with an AI-powered, data-driven platform to assist in early diagnosis and maintenance of women's reproductive health.

Sastya grew up in Indonesia, and also lived in Malaysia and Singapore, and now she's pursuing her PhD at UCL while building her startup, PLans.

We chatted about why women need to start talking about (and normalizing talking about) our reproductive health in our 20s, her career transition from finance to tech and health tech, and her living abroad journey in Malaysia and Singapore.
