Three million people. That’s more than the population of Hawaii, or Jamaica, or Iceland.
That’s how many members InterNations now has in 390 communities around the world.
Three million is amazing and something we want to celebrate! But while the number itself surely sounds impressive, at InterNations it’s not always about how many people you can connect with, but rather the individual relationships themselves.
Sometimes, all it takes is one — the one friend who invited you to join the book club when you knew no one, the one friend who helped you to fill out a rental application and cheered for you when you finally found a great apartment, the one friend who will pick up your kids from school when you’re sick or walks your dog when you’re away! We all have that friend who has made a difference, and we’ll never forget, no matter where in the world we live.
This is what we want to celebrate! Tell us who your “one in three million” InterNations friend is and why they are so special! Did you and this friend share a unique experience or help each other get through a tough time? Take the time to thank them for always being there for you!
By participating, you get the chance to win a 150 EUR hotel voucher. We’d suggest using it for a great mini-vacation with your “one in three million” friend! It doesn’t matter how you met your friend, as long as they’re also an InterNations member!

No matter how you spend the holidays abroad, decide to travel, or go home to be with your family, this time of the year can be tough for expats. In a Twitter contest, we asked our members to share their advice on how to make the best of it. Picking the final three was a real challenge!
With Halloween and the changing of seasons, October is a time packed with color! Let have a look at some of this month’s InterNations event highlights.
Social distancing and self-isolation can take quite a toll on your mental health, especially among expats, who are often far from home. Here are some great ways to connect with other global minds, even in times of crises.
The year is drawing to a close and November’s arrival unofficially marks the start of the holiday season. With Diwali and Thanksgiving festivities both filling this month’s calendar, InterNations members around the world have been getting together, celebrating traditions old and new!
Over the last months, we have seen some great activities hosted by Consuls all over the world, bringing their group to another community and giving their members a truly international experience. We asked two of them to tell us about the travelling adventures they recently shared with their groups.
