What we’re about
Expats Living in Rome is an International Social Network run by expatriates living and working in Rome. We are generally age 25 or over, and meet regularly for: happy hour, language exchange, dinners, and day trips. We always welcome newcomers to join.
Coming along for the first time?
Don't worry! Our team of hosts (and the regulars the group) will introduce you to others. Please let us know what is most important to you from networking, making friends, language exchange, finding housing, or looking for work.
Our members are a great mix ranging from locals to expats to professionals and Diplomats. And everyone is there with the same intention – to meet and mingle. Our events are always held at a fun, local spot - the perfect setting to network, socialize, expand your circle and even make a few friends!
We usually speak in English while socializing, but there is no set language. We come from all over the world so we encourage you to speak as many languages as you can!
