Our community is made up of women from diverse backgrounds and industries. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where women can network, collaborate, and learn from one another while navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of living abroad. As we continue to grow, we aspire to inspire and uplift women across different cities, enabling them to thrive and make their mark on the global business stage.

Business Babes Abroad - Hamburg (BBA) was originally created as a group for women in Marketing. What started out as a new Facebook group in 2018 quickly showed that Hamburg-based women professionals were missing something. As the group grew, it became clear that this could serve a purpose for womxn in other fields, so it was opened to all career-oriented women and LGBTQ+ in Hamburg & beyond.

Real talk about the struggles of living abroad, genuine networking & friendship, we all want to see everyone grow and succeed, support that feels like your family away from home

• I'm a Canadian girl, living & working abroad in Hamburg, Germany.

• I moved to Hamburg in 2014 from Vancouver Island after finishing my degree in Tourism & Event Management. I’ve lived and breathed Hamburg since then! My full-time job is as a Global Event Marketing Manager, but my side passions are creating content about life in Germany.

• I am now the community manager of Business Babes Abroad - Hamburg, have a growing TikTok account (+100k) about my life in Germany/Europe & love to write stories and share videos about my life on Instagram (+90k). Aside from all that, you can find me dancing in my little flat in Eimsbüttel on a daily basis or biking to my favourite yoga class.

BBA is a group for international women (LGBTQIA+ inclusive) navigating the professional world in Germany. Of course we mean geographically international, but also those with an international mindset, i.e. Germans are welcome!
