Tracy and Derrill Thompson are creating the sort of international life that many folks dream of. Derrill is a former labor lawyer from Vancouver. Tracy is one of the founders of a Canadian software company, Beanworks, that specialized in accounts payable processes.

After Beanworks was acquired by Quadient in 2021, Tracy and Derrill moved to Setubal, an old commercial fishing port just South of Lisbon/Portugal. Tracy is an active community organizer in Setubal’s vibrant emigre community. To properly ring in 2025, Derrill and Tracy are launching their next dream business - a cocktail lounge in Setubal’s charmed Old Town named Gatsby Cocktailaria.
