This Expat Life - S0 / E11

#11 A roadmap to building communities around the world with Marcel Wijermars

In this episode, global entrepreneur Marcel Wijermars shares how he has been creating communities in several countries and gives you his 3 steps so you can start your community too.

We actually didn't make the 3rd step explicit in our conversation, but that's clearly: take action & organise an event. Curious about the first two? Listen now!
