Why Swedish 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 Swedish 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!

A solo expat woman traveller in Syria? InterNations has shown me that this was far less daunting than my family back home supposed.
