Sharing our expat experiences in Riga was very helpful. Particularly when it comes to setting up your own business here.

The idea to conect expats worldwide is not only great, it really works. I met several French-speaking women within the first weeks.

An amazing community is waiting for you!

Why Swiss expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Swiss members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

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!
