About us
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.

Late Spring Hike @Amsterdamse Bos
Restaurant de Bosbaan (near the lockers), Bosbaan 4, 1182 AG, Amstelveen, NLOur friends at Hike & Pictures are celebrating their 1-yr-anniversary with a special hike in the beautiful Amsterdamse Bos and we're tagging along!
We already did a mini-trek last Sunday while visiting the cherry blossoms and we left feeling like there was much more to explore! One of the highlights of the route will be the famous Scottish Highland cows that live in the forest. It's not certain if we see them (they are wild animals after all), but we might get lucky!
This time, multiple organizers will be joining, leading separate groups for the fast walkers and slow walkers. We'll try to create space to avoid having too many people in the same area (especially to avoid scaring the cows away).
🥾 Route: Circular route in Amsterdamse Bos
📏 Distance: Around 15–20 km
⭐ Level: All levels are welcome and dogs are allowed on lease.During the hike we’ll also take a break to eat something together in a restaurant, but make sure to bring some snacks and drinks for along the way.
Whether you’ve joined many hikes before or this is your first time, this anniversary hike is the perfect moment to celebrate the community, meet new people, and enjoy a full day outdoors.
Note: This event is only gonna happen when it's not raining too much.
