What we’re about
Based in Amsterdam, we are the largest and coolest international community in the Netherlands. We’re a social club for Amsterdam expats with an international membership that includes both recently relocated expats and long-term residents. Our doors are open to everyone. Whether you are an expat, a Dutch who's internationally oriented, or simply a traveller passing through, you're all welcome to join our growing multicultural family.
On a weekly basis, we host a range of networking and social events at various locations in the city, where expats and locals can gather to meet interesting people, create valuable connections and foster new friendships. Our events are always conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We meet up regularly to: drink & mingle at various Amsterdam hotspots, explore the city's good food with social dining, watch comedy shows and plays, go clubbing and dancing, watch and play games and sports, go on special trips and rides... and other authentic Amsterdam experiences.

🧹City Cleanup & Hot Chocolate ☕ @ The Amrâth Hotel
Grand Hotel Amrath, Prins Hendrikkade 108, Amsterdam, NLFor our next City Clean-up, we will be returning to the grand Amrâth Hotel for our post-cleanup mingling session, where we'll get to enjoy hot chocolate and snacks.
Built in 1912, the building housing the Amrâth is one of Amsterdam's celebrated monuments, a former shipping house designed in the 'Amsterdam School' style, an art movement inspired by Art Nouveau.
The last time we visited the Amrâth, we even got a very educational private tour of the historic location and took home some memorable anecdotes and pics. This particular venue has remained a highlight of all our Cleanup sessions and comes highly recommended!
- Meet up on the bridge of Prins Hendrikkade
- Gear will be provided
- Includes free coffee/tea and a treat
