How do you select your hourly rate? Here is my challenge: I can choose a rate that competes with similar rates in my country, however it feels like they are significantly above average in an international pool like as on upwork and similar platforms.

They probably are higher than on Upwork. I don't even look at rates on there or Fiverr. Those platforms are seriously damaging the freelance industry, especially for professional writers and designers in the US and Europe who can't compete with the rate of some in 3rd world countries.
