I wish I'd found InterNations sooner: It would have made my first few month as an expat in London much less overwhelming.
Welcome to the Aberdeen Expat Community!
A big Scottish welcome to our community in Aberdeen! InterNations serves as a platform and social network for expatriates around the world. We can help you assess the risks and rewards of making the step to moving abroad, as well as providing you with tips from members of our Aberdeen Community who can give you the benefit of their experience. There are plenty of expatriates here who have been in exactly the same boat, and will be happy to share their knowledge with you. When you join InterNations, you'll be able to look for help with all your concerns, whether it's enquiring about the situation for oil industry workers, deciding on moving to the Merchant's Quarter, or finding out about the situation with free education and healthcare for expatriates. Whatever your question, you'll be sure to find plenty of members willing to help out.
With InterNations, you never stand alone. Whether you are moving to another country or going on a business trip somewhere — our communities around the world are there to make you feel at home wherever you are. Feel free to also check out our other vibrant InterNations Communities like the ones in Khobar (Eastern Prov.) or Jeddah.

Start Your Expat Life in Aberdeen
Aberdeen has become a huge center for expatriates in recent years due to the explosion of the oil industry, and the rapid growth in other businesses to support it. The old granite town has taken on a new lease of life, with workers from all over the world building their communities in the area and taking advantage of a city of opportunity, which has become the richest city in Scotland and boasts an even higher concentration of millionaires than London.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

For me, the InterNations events are the best part. I attend almost every get-together and always get to know lots of friendly fellow expats.
