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

I was able to connect with other expats in Zurich who enjoy cycling as much as I do and organize weekly rides.

At the first InterNations event that I attended, I met my wonderful partner. We now live together in a flat next to the Limmat.

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.

Find People Who Share Your Passions
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
