This month, our members set out to (re)discover the places they live. The explored the streets of their city or ventured outside of the concrete jungles to enjoy the great outdoors.
From street food festivals and museums to bike trips and hikes in surrounding areas, as well as exciting and unusual venues, there was a lot to see and learn. Take a look at the event highlights in May.
Rediscover Your City
The Athens Languages and Cultures Group explored the local street food festival in the heart of the city. Members met at Amaxostasio in Gazi to enjoy different meals from around the world. It was a great opportunity to get outside, meet friends, and have a great time.
April offers many great opportunities to get out of the house, enjoy the great weather, and celebrate. From Easter to Ramadan and exciting spring events, our communities have a lot to offer. Check out our monthly event and activity highlights!
Easter: Good Food and Fresh Air
Whether you celebrate Easter or not, like many of our members, you may also have been able to enjoy a long weekend. What a great opportunity to get together with other expats and global minds and to enjoy a relaxed brunch or a nice walk outside!
The Dallas Cook & Share Group met on Easter Sunday for a delightful Easter brunch. Between authentic Mexican cuisine and great company, the group had a great time. Thank you, Laurie Kudla, for organizing this activity.
The change of seasons can feel like a new beginning, an opportunity to settle down and rest for those who are experiencing dropping temperatures, and a chance to get back outside and enjoy the blue sky and fresh air for those in the northern hemisphere.
Many of our communities are getting ready to head outdoors after a long and taxing winter, celebrating spring in a lot of different ways. And, of course, it wouldn’t be March without some green beer and the luck of the Irish — St. Patrick’s Day is definitely a highlight of the month.
Springtime Awakening in the Northern Hemisphere
While some of our members in the northern hemisphere still have to wait a bit for warmer weather, our communities in Italy have already been blessed with blue skies and plenty of sunshine.
Expats and global minds joined the Turin Outdoor & Sports Group for a Mimosas Walk in Noli Ligure on Sunday, 6 March. Although the delicate flowers weren’t quite in bloom yet, the group got to explore the picturesque town, learn something about its history, visit the Castel of Monte Ursino, and end the tour in Altopiano delle Manie. Thank you to our activity hosts Fabio Cornati and Paolo Marino for organizing this fantastic outing.
After we just said goodbye to 2021, the start of the Chinese and Lunar New Year on 1 February provided the perfect opportunity for another round of new year’s celebrations. With Valentine’s Day and the end of this year’s carnival season, February offers even more excuses to throw a party. Here are just some highlights from the numerous InterNations events that make our communities around the world come alive this month.
There’s something wonderful about saying goodbye to the past year, with all its ups and downs, and welcoming the new year full of hope. As we all kick off another trip around the sun, our communities around the world found the best ways to celebrate in style — from a sunset barbecue in the desert to a yacht cruise! The highlights below will surely get you excited for InterNations events this year!
While others welcomed the new year, members of the Moscow Community celebrated the Russian Orthodox Christmas on Friday, 7 January. Aside from getting to see each other again, the gathering was made even more special with some local food and drinks and a bunch of surprises like a raffle and gifts for our members. Thank you to the event hosts, Elena Hoffmann, Nadya Smokotina, Pete Jansen, and Claire Citered!
