Thinking of moving abroad?

Just arrived abroad?

Living for long abroad?

Wherever you are in your global story; preparing, arriving, or rebuilding, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

It is a pleasure to meet you

I am Marcela Ortiz

Colombian, living in the Netherlands for 14 years

I created conquerIN, a series of programs based on my own experience to support you building your life abroad. Because I had to do it alone but you don't.

I have the tools and I want to make your life easier. 

I know what is like to be a mother, an international, a professional, a top athlete and a woman who try to keep balance in her life while living abroad... sometimes we are just lost, sometimes we just need a hand to put us back on track. 

​

Do you want to talk to someone who can understand your journey?

Mission
Strengthen the emotional well being of internationals through structured programs that promote identity, resilience, and community connection

Every international journey deserves support

Conquer International helps you navigate the emotional and practical challenges of living abroad, from the moment you consider moving to the years you spend building a life in a new country

Thinking of moving abroad?

  • I want to prepare myself for this change

  • I´m excited but I´m scared

  • I wonder how I can build a life from zero

  • I worry about leaving everything behind 

  • I want to understand what the international journey really feels like

Just arrived abroad?

  • I feel overwhelmed

  • I wonder if what I do truly matters

  • How do I build a routine that feels like home?

  • I´m trying to learn the language but it feels intimidating

  • I don´t feel myself

Living for long abroad?

  • I still feel like an outsider

  • I want to reconnect with the person I´ve become after years abroad

  • I´ve changed so much, I need space to understand this new version of me

  • I want deeper friendships

  • I´ve adapted... but i want to feel rooted, not just settled

Marcela, the founder of Conquer in, is an empowered, and energetic woman who sees life with a perspective full of opportunities and possibilities. She has a remarkable ability to see connections where others cannot, like an invisible web through which she connects everyone. She genuinely and authentically wants to help people develop their best selves, whether through tools, ideas, or connections. She has provided me with an amazing support to enrich my personal and professional life. The women circle at the library has become an event I want to attend since she creates the space for women to develop themselves, meaningful relationships and you can actually feel the great support. She is a tireless advocate of self-development and empowerment, lovingly and respectfully supporting individuals, companies, groups, and women in their adaptation to life challenges and integration processes in the Netherlands. My deepest respect goes to this woman who is dedicated to her life's purpose. I am so grateful to have met her, and she is a truly valuable person who transforms the lives of anyone who has the opportunity to get know her. Thank you Marcela
