Crossing borders, bridging cultures, connecting global minds

At InterNations, we believe in the benefits of international experience, cultural exchange, and the power of bringing people together.

After all, that’s how it all began …

InterNations was founded by two university friends who were living in different countries as expats, very early in their careers.

They realized their challenges were the same: finding new friends, making new business contacts, and sorting out the essentials of daily life. It all felt very nerve-wracking, time-consuming, and disheartening.

And they thought: wouldn’t it be so much easier if there was one place you could turn to and find everything you need?

So in 2007, they launched a platform where open-minded individuals from different cultures can network, socialize, and find trustworthy information and services, wherever they are.

Within a couple of years, InterNations grew from a network of friends living abroad to the largest community for expats and global minds worldwide.

Fast-forward to today. Yes, the world has changed. But expat challenges haven’t.
When you move abroad, meeting others who can relate to your experience — people you have things in common with — can be a game changer.
And that’s the best thing about InterNations: everyone in the community has the same mindset. This takes away the awkwardness of going up to new people and introducing yourself. No matter where you’re from, you feel like you belong.

Wherever you go, on any continent, you’re going to find InterNations. It’s like a family for me.
