Settling into your new city: discover InterNations, the international expat network
Integrating into your new city: a key challenge for expatriates
Moving to a new country is an experience that is as exciting as it is challenging. Between administrative procedures, finding accommodation, and adapting to a new culture, it can sometimes be difficult to quickly feel at home.
At Home Explorer, we see it every day: a successful move is about more than just logistics. The real challenge is connecting with others and finding your place in a new community. That’s why we regularly recommend InterNations, a global network of expats that makes it easier to integrate and discover your new city.
InterNations: the largest international network for expatriates
A platform designed for expatriates
Registration on InterNations is free and accessible via the website or mobile app. Once they have created a profile, members can:
Join themed groups based on their interests (food, sports, culture, etc.),
Participate in regular events in their city (after-work gatherings, international dinners, cultural outings, outdoor activities),
Discuss topics on local forums to get practical advice and share their experiences.
It’s a simple, friendly, and effective way to expand your network while discovering your new city.
InterNations in Bordeaux: a dynamic and welcoming community
The InterNations community is particularly active in Bordeaux. Under the leadership of its local ambassador, Saïd Chammas, events are organized every month to bring expats together for activities that reflect the city’s warm, open, and friendly atmosphere.
Wine tastings, evenings in the city center’s iconic bars, walks along the quays, or cultural visits… each gathering is an opportunity to discover Bordeaux in a different way and make new friends.
Home Explorer and InterNations: a duo for successful integration
At Home Explorer, we support employees and their families through every stage of their relocation to France. But beyond the practicalities, we are committed to promoting their well-being and local integration.
That’s why we recommend InterNations as the ideal partner:
Home Explorer facilitates your arrival and administrative procedures,
