Can't change country

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Like most folks on this platform it seems, I cannot change my country during my account creation and thus am stuck with "United Kingdom".

 

Could you please set my account to "Netherlands" so I can go to the next step and enter a dutch number.
