Swing into Spring with InterNations

After a long and cold winter for the Northern Hemisphere, it is time to celebrate the arrival of the season of blooming flowers and unique festivals: spring! InterNations members welcomed this flourishing time of the year with exciting events and outdoor activities, while the Southern Hemisphere is getting ready to “fall into fall”.

The Istanbul Photo Group welcomed spring with a magical walk through the vibrant tulip carpets in one of the largest parks of the city. Every April during the Emirgan Tulip Festival, Emirgan Park is taken over by millions of stunning flowers. Our members didn’t miss this chance — they found themselves surrounded by colorful gardens and pavilions and enjoyed a steaming cup of coffee accompanied by great chats and laughs.

When we think of tulips, we cannot forget about the Netherlands! On the other side of Europe, expats and global minds of the Luxembourg City Lovers went on an exciting weekend adventure to Lisse. After spending the Saturday afternoon at Keukenhof, immersed in more than seven million tulips, the group headed to the university city of Leiden on Sunday.

Cheers, Spring Is Here!

After longing for spring during Norway’s freezing and dark winter, the Oslo Community lit up Rodin’s Bistro & Bar with bright, colorful, and fancy flowery clothes. Ambassadors Aru Redondo and Rita Andrea Simon did a fantastic job choosing this dress code for the night that put everyone in a good mood and created a cheerful atmosphere. Members enjoyed their drinks in good company and had fun with a small raffle!
