Hello to all Americans in Groningen! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Groningen?

InterNations Groningen Harbour Get Together
InterNations Groningen Harbour Get Together
A Harbor Café get-together. Let's come together and celebrate (premature?) the arrival of spring or we ask spring to arrive soon, with a ceremonial drink together. A cozy, quiet nice pub near the Oosterhaven. If we want we might even try to become Dutch, playing a Dutch Sjoelen Game. All are welcome

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.
