From strangers to friends - Connecting locals and expats

Real conversations. New friendships. Fresh energy.

Are you an expat far from home or a local looking to meet new people with an open mind?

Or maybe you’re craving fresh perspectives, both personally and professionally?

Worried you won’t meet “your kind of people”?

Sure, not every conversation will spark magic, but you’ll still have a fun evening, surrounded by real humans instead of screens.
And who knows... one connection might just surprise you.

Drinks and bites are included!

### What to expect:

• A friendly, welcoming atmosphere, no pressure.
• Conversations that flow naturally, with a little help from curated question cards
• A mix of locals and internationals from different cultures and backgrounds
• Real talk. Both personal and business-related, without the usual networking stress
• You’ll leave with at least one meaningful connection (and probably more)

### About me

I’m Julia, a Dutch local from an expat family, with over 20 years of experience in communication and psychology.
I’ve helped over 1,000 people connect and feel at home and now I’m creating a space for it in Arnhem/Nijmegen.
Because even in a city full of people, it’s easy to feel isolated.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We all need a space to belong and this is mine to share with you.

### This meetup is for you if

• You’re looking for real conversations, not small talk
• You’re new in the Netherlands , or just open to meeting new people
• You’d like to grow your personal or business mindset through human connection
• You believe community starts with showing up.

Sign up for the evening now!
