InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Baghdad

Hello to all Americans in Baghdad! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Baghdad? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Baghdad which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for stuffed turkey?

Although Baghdad has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Baghdad, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Iraqi bureaucracy is very different to what I know from Europe. Sharing experiences with fellow expats helped me to overcome many obstacles.

Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.
