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

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!

On InterNations I did not only meet interesting people but I also found a flat near Bochum and settled in quickly. A great platform.
