About Cepee Tabibian: At the age of 35, Cepee upended her entire life by selling her belongings and moving from the US to Europe—and has never looked back. Since then, she’s been on a mission to help other women do the same through her community-based business, She Hit Refresh: a global community of over 17,000 women age 30+ who want to move abroad.
Cepee is also the author of I’m Outta Here! An American’s Ultimate Visa Guide to Living in Europe—featured in Forbes— an in-depth guide for understanding the many visa options for Europe.
As the daughter of Colombian and Iranian immigrants, Cepee grew up in Houston, Texas, before becoming an immigrant herself in Spain. Through her work, she’s proven that it’s never too late to hit refresh on your life.
