What we’re about

Are you an expat in the area and looking for friends?   Then you have found the right MeetUp Group! For spontaneous as well as organized social, cultural and interactive discovery of Anrhem and the area join an event or create your own - suggestions welcome!

Just a note about the 'expat' part of the group name.  We expats love living here, or we wouldn't be here.  Still, we do like to share our common experiences together as people who choose to live in another country than that in which we were born.  We're comprised of mostly foreign born people but there are a few Dutch people here as well.  That's normally because they have an expat partner or lived so long outside of NL that they feel like an expat themselves.  We do get a lot of requests, especially lately, from Dutch people.  Mostly they are just looking for a social group.  We thank you all for your interest but there are many Arnhem social groups on MeetUp which are not expat focused.  Therefore please request membership only if you are an expat or in a relationship with one.  We appreciate the offers of 'help' but do understand that most of us have Dutch partners, friends, colleagues etc. and are not seeking help.  We just want to share common experiences in an informal, fun group environment. 

Also, we are a group of NICE people.  We don't tolerate any negative behavior or comments about certain countries etc.  Come with an open mind and enjoy the friendliness :- )

*Covid note:  Meetings will be organized with small groups and a wait list until Covid restrictions are lifted.  Thanks for your understanding.
