The InterNations events in Bucharest are really great. The members attending, both expats and locals, are very interesting to talk to.

I have met most of my friends in Bucharest through InterNations. I never thought I would join an online community. Glad that I changed my mind.

Embark on Your Life as an Expat in Romania
Having emerged from communist austerity in the late 1980s, Romania has stepped confidently into the international community in recent years, overcoming a legacy of poverty and repression to become a growing gateway for business and tourism. With a diverse landscape encompassing rolling hills and imposing mountains, dense forests and rustic villages, Gothic castles and thriving modern cities, there's something for everybody in this historical nation. Many expats move to Romania to take advantage of a growing industrial sector and a relatively low cost of living compared to much of Europe. Job roles include construction and engineering, IT and communications and software development — particularly centralized within the capital city of Bucharest. Overall, this country may still be somewhat off the beaten track compared to the great Western superpowers, but with a unique personality, friendly and welcoming locals, and plentiful business opportunities, the rewards of building a life in Romania are plentiful.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Spain or France, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
Grow Your Network of Like-Minded Expats from All over the World
At InterNations we foster a unique community of members who share a passion for travel, adventure, and meeting new people. Trust, respect and a friendly and welcoming attitude are guiding principles of the InterNations platform, allowing you to find the information you need to make the most of your new surroundings and to meet new people in a safe and secure environment. Feel free to pose questions on any topic relevant to living in Romania. You might be interested in volunteer work to help the country's less fortunate citizens, looking to brush up on your Romanian, or hoping to join a sports club or coffee group. Whatever your interests and priorities, you'll find like-minded people on InterNations. Don't forget to join one of our larger social events, where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks in some of Romania's most attractive venues, plus the opportunity to mingle with fellow expats and share your experiences of this thrilling and rewarding country.
