Wat we doen
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.

For our next TGIF, let's hang out in one of our favourite spots in Amsterdam.
NeL is located right in the heart of the canal belt, in the charming square of the Amstelveld. Situated just behind the buzzing Rembrandtplein, it's super convenient to start here and head elsewhere to another party if you don't wish the night to end.
We have access to both indoor and outdoor space: A dedicated lounge area plus some high tables at the heated terrace. We'll hang out, share some stories, play some games, make new friends and create awesome new memories.

On this last Sunday of May, decide to invest in your future self.
Join Dev for an immersive 3-hr session to reconnect with your inner charisma.☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎ ☀︎
Dear All,
It is time to Unmute Yourself, Own the Room and Hear Your Soul!- If you’ve felt a little foggy lately — in life, direction, or even in who you’re becoming; if you’re tired of struggling to be an overachiever — this gathering is for you.
We’ll slow things down, connect honestly, and explore the subtle dance between charisma and consciousness, between outer presence and inner clarity.
This is not about fixing yourself — it's about returning to who you've always been, beneath the overthinking, the self-doubt, and the noise.***
### What you'll experience:
- A grounded space to reconnect with your energy and direction
- Insight into how your state and story are shaping your reality
- A chance to explore the duality between self-expression and stillness
- A small, intentional group of curious, like-minded individuals
- Practical tools + real stories — no fluff, no performance
***
💶 This session is €15 — not because it’s about profit, but because I want people to show up with presence and intention.
When you pay, you pay attention.
💬 If cost is genuinely an issue, DM me — I don’t want money to block your growth.
🛡️ And if you attend and don’t find value, I’ll refund you. No questions asked.***
✅ RSVP here on Meetup, and pay the tikkie below:
Investment Tikkie***
This session will also be your gateway into something deeper:
a curated growth circle of allies — people who are building something real, together.
I'll share more about that at the end of the session.
We’ll close the day in good company, with time to connect, unwind, and enjoy the afterglow of an intentional afternoon.
If you would like more details, here is a video about the session:
