A few weeks back we were searching the internet for local activities to do in Alicante and we came across a web site called “Internations”. They are a global organization connecting expats in all areas of the world. It was free to join and so we thought, hey why not!

We signed up and before we knew it we were welcomed to the group and informed of an upcoming event in Alicante.

So on Friday night we went to our first event with some of the local expats in the area of Alicante. When we arrived we were met at the door by the organizers and welcomed in with a drink of sparkling wine.  There was lots of tapas and people were gathered around so it didn’t take long to start a conversation with someone.  It was very enjoyable and we met lots of people who were from all parts of the world but now live in the area. We spoke to people from Australia, United States, Brazil, Swiss, German and many others. They were all very friendly and most of them spoke english, (definitely a benefit for us).

It was also nice to be able to talk to people about the challenges and rewards of moving to a foreign country. They were very friendly and happy to point out some tips and the pitfalls in getting settled in. We stayed for the entire event and had a wonderful time. We will definitely be attending future events when possible.
