Internations is the community for expatriates and global minds.
Since the beginning of this year I am Ambassador of the Internations Barcelona expatriate crowd. I would like to share how amazing it is to see this community grow and create its own momentum. Internations launched in September 2008 and has grown a lot internationally. Barcelona had already 600 members by the time I got started, today the number has grown up to 1.400 members. The core of Internations are their local communities where members find insider information about the city they live in and regular offline events where they get together and get to know each other personally.
Myself being a classical expatriate living in Spain for three years now, it is a great and challenging opportunity to unify Barcelona’s expatriate crowd together at one place. Barcelona is extremely rich in culture, beauty and full of new places to discover. It’s just a question of finding new exiting places to bring this special group of people together. There have been many efforts connecting the “Guiris” of the city and I am trying my best to do find a special way for the Internations crowd. So far, we’ve had various events ranging from a hotel roof terrace party, a Chiringuito beach party to a friday night out fiesta.
After these first events the members have come much closer to each other and the power of online communities in the “real” world becomes tangible: people forming friendships, business opportunities and even other kinds of relationships!
