Expat meetup Amsterdam: Make friends abroad!

Making new friends abroad isn’t always easy. A new city is exciting, but it can also feel isolating. That’s why we built Next Locals.

We’re a friendly community of internationals and expats who get what it’s like to start over.

Every Friday, 10–25 open-minded people come together for relaxed afterwork drinks and real conversations.

No name tags. No awkward intros. No pressure.

Just people like you, looking to meet new friends and feel at home again.

The meetup is your starting point abroad for real friendships, and anything that follows.

The vibe is relaxed and social, perfect for meeting plenty of new faces. Conversations flow naturally and you quickly see who you click with.

By the end of the evening, you won’t just have had a fun night. You’ll leave with new connections, follow-up plans, and the feeling that life here already feels a little more like home.
