Summer Vibes around the World in June & July

With summer in full swing in many parts of the world, InterNations communities embraced the season with rooftop gatherings, outdoor adventures, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow members.

Sunshine, Rooftops, and Summer Nights

In Berlin, Alexandra welcomed the community to Hello Sunshine @ SANA Berlin, a relaxed seasonal gathering with Portuguese flair. Set in the elegant surroundings of the SANA Hotel, the event encouraged attendees to slow down, enjoy refreshing drinks, play board games, and make genuine connections on a warm June evening.

Similarly, the Paris Community came together for an After Bastille Day celebration at the Jardins du Pont Neuf. Between icebreaker games, cocktails, music, and lively conversations, members enjoyed extending the festive spirit long after the national celebrations had ended.

Meanwhile in Tbilisi, Tamuna and Nikoloz invited everyone to kick off open-air season with the FOMO Rooftop Opening Celebration. With great views over the city, a welcoming atmosphere, and an international crowd, the event offered the perfect setting for networking, friendship, and memorable summer vibes.

Parties with an International Flair

Summer festivities also took on a global flavor in Sofia, where Francois and Carlos hosted the Summer Mexican Vibe Party. Inspired by the colors and energy of Mexico, the evening featured themed cocktails, free Mexican food, music, and more.

Not to be outdone, Gisèle invited members to the Summer in Ibiza White Party in Guangzhou. Dressed in white, attendees enjoyed Spanish-inspired drinks, a magic show, a quiz, dancing, and networking, creating a vibrant Ibiza atmosphere right in the heart of the city.

Meanwhile, the Thessaloniki Community Group embarked on a musical journey From Paris to New Orleans. Thanks to Alex, attendees enjoyed an evening of elegant melodies and jazz-inspired rhythms, bringing a touch of French charm and joie de vivre to a memorable summer gathering.

And in Prague, Veronica, Elisa, and Jitka marked the beginning of the season with the BIG Summer Party at Origin Bar. Alongside great music, cocktails, and an international crowd, members supported a local community center through a charity raffle, making the celebration both fun and meaningful.

Winter Gatherings Down Under

“With something as joyful and spectacular as Christmas, why not have it twice?” With those words, Ellie invited the Sydney Cultural Exchange Group to Christmas in July. From cozy winter vibes to delicious food and seasonal fun, the activity proved that Christmas is simply too good to celebrate only once a year.

Elsewhere, Elena welcomed the Brisbane Community to Bar Gusto for a cozy winter-evening gathering. With wood-fired pizzas, drinks, and plenty of conversation, the event provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both longtime members and newcomers alike.

Exploring the Stars & Your Own Mind

Members of the Montréal Hangouts Group explored the stars from a fresh perspective at the ARTstrology Workshop. Hosted by Giulia and Pamela, the activity combined astrology and art in a creative, hands-on format, encouraging participants to learn something new, express themselves, and connect with fellow members over coffee, conversation, and inspiration.

Members of the San Diego City Explorers Group took a break from the everyday at Breathe Into Balance… Calm, Connect & Enjoy Bites. The activity combined meditation, sound healing, breathing exercises, and a community potluck, creating a welcoming space for relaxation, mindfulness, and connection.

Outdoor Adventures on Land & Water

Members of the Santiago de Chile Outdoor Adventures Group headed into the Andes for Trekking Laguna Negra. Led by Val, the 8-kilometer hike took participants along the scenic Parque El Yeso–Laguna Negra route, where breathtaking mountain views, alpine landscapes, and a shared love of the outdoors made for an unforgettable day exploring one of the region’s natural treasures.

In The Hague, the Sports Group returned to the greens with Golf Clinic | Un-Fore-Gettable. Whether complete beginners or experienced players, participants joined Jeroen for an afternoon of learning, improving their swing, and meeting fellow golf enthusiasts in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

And for the Nice Explore the City & Maritime Alps Group, a Fun Train Trip to Tende offered a day of discovery beyond the city. Luc and Genevieve guided members on a scenic railway journey through spectacular mountain landscapes before exploring the historic village of Tende, its museum, and its cultural treasures.

Members of the Washington, D.C. 40+ Social Group gathered for a special Cruise on the Potomac River. Hosted by Diomi and birthday-girl Pamela, the evening combined beautiful views of Washington, D.C., great music, and lively conversation during an unforgettable night aboard a double-decker yacht.
