InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Dublin

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

Although Dublin 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 Dublin, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

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.
