Outdoor Fun with InterNations
This month, InterNations members in the Northern Hemisphere made the most out of the long summer nights, while expats and global minds around the world celebrated Full Moon Day and the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing.
“All in White” Parties
Our community in Nice met on Friday, 5 July, and welcomed the arrival of Summer at Le Saint Paul Hotel. Showing off their classy white outfits, members had fun networking while drinking a glass of wine. The amazing location and the stunning view from the terrace at sunset made this event a night to remember! Thank you to our Ambassadors Diana Gheorghe, Sophie Rossi, Livia Bellova, and Madani Belhocine for making all of this possible.
InterNations Ambassadors Gabriela Roschinsky, Adriano Fumagalli, and Mohd Haddad planned the perfect White Party on Friday, 12 July.

Members had a good time, having great conversations and capturing new memories by taking plenty of pictures.
Having Fun Out in the Open
On Saturday, 13 July, the Los Angeles Explorers Group celebrated a very special occasion: the 8th anniversary of the annual Los Angeles internationals potluck picnic. Eight years ago, Consuls Giuseppe Mattiolo and Keiko Benson, together with many other expats and global minds, met thanks to this picnic — since then, it has been an epic and unmissable activity for members in LA. The group came together in the Burton Chace Park and shared their home-cooked meals, while having fun with old and new international friends.
Our Consul Giulia Rizzato arranged another hiking activity with The Nuremberg Hiking and More Group, on Sunday, 30 June. Starting from the city center of Pottenstein, the group enjoyed their three-hour walk surrounded by amazing landscapes. They stopped for a break near the natural pool — there’s no better way to chill after a long day in the sun!
Stunning Views and Breathtaking Sunsets
Our host Cosmin Buda spoiled the Paris Out of Office Group with a night of fun on Thursday, 11 July. The activity took place at the Créatures bar, on top of the Galeries Lafayette, where expats and global minds had the chance to mingle with new friends and network with other members, while enjoying one of the best views of the city.
The This is Antwerp! Group spent the evening at the beach on Wednesday, 10 July. While listening to live jazz music, attendees enjoyed the stunning view over the River Scheldt at sunset.

Thank you, Nensi de Heer and Fons Tjallinks, for planning this activity.
