Why British 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 British members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

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!

Our community in Tehran is also very active offline. Our InterNations Ambassadors organize regular events and various expat activities, e.g. a dinner in Tehran’s hippest restaurant or an outing with other British expats to explore the dense rain forest (or shomal) of the north. These activities are a casual way to get to know expats from the UK in your local community as well as Brits in Iran nationwide. Interested?
