InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Jakarta

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

There’s no doubt about it: Jakarta is a city of contrasts. The Indonesian capital is a dynamic city known for its continued struggle with smog and gridlocked streets, but also for its amazing cuisine, friendly population, mix of Indonesia’s various cultures, and much more! With the local buses (particularly the TransJakarta buses), the KRL Jabodetabek commuter railway, as well as the fairly new Jakarta MRT and LRT rail services, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in one of the more residential neighborhoods popular among expats, such as Kebayoran Baru or Kemang, which are an hour to 80 minutes away from Jakarta’s center.

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