Expat Networks Directory

Joining social groups or learning a new hobby or even sharing your own particular hobby can be great ways to meet people.  Often people begin their lives in a new country only knowing someone from their company, but when you make the leap to join a group or to learn a new skill, a whole new world can be opened up.  People from all over belong to these groups.  You will be certain to meet someone from somewhere who will become your new friend.

There are national associations which are formed for expatriates from certain countries as a reason to get together, however usually they are happy to take anyone with an interest in their country and perhaps the starting point is that you spent some time in that country once.  There are also general international societies, which celebrate the many nationalities that are represented and the culture of where they happen to be.  Sometimes companies organise social get togethers for the sposes or for mothers and toddlers as well.
